Preliminary evaluation

the preliminary task had been shown to an audience which was our media class, they watched our whole clip and then gave us feedback on it. There was certain things which they looked out for to see such as editing, match on action, holding camera steady, shot reverse shot and camera angles. This was what we had to mainly focus on in our clip it didnt matter about the acting it was how we used the camera effectively.

there was alot of feedback which was mainly positive but there were a few situation which we can improve. they said that the room effect with securtiy camera was extremely effective as it changed the angle to a low angle and also change the way we was seeing the shot, the fact that the cctv camera came out well and matched it perfectly ment that our use of editing was good.

someone stated that we should have used effect while I was in the lift that just watching me go down dragged on and could have been experimented and twigged to improve it and bring a bit more attention but they said the close up with pushing the button was good as it brought attention to me as it showed that I was an important character.

camera was overall steady which was good as we tried to move camera around alot and it makes it more professional it being steady. they said that we need to take more risks and try out more angles than sticking to the easier ones. shot reverse shot was overall was used and that it worked well using it during the conversation as the conversation switched quickly from one character to another and it gave the person speaking main focus and stood them out.

match on action was used and that we did well but there were some occasions where could have cut it by a millisecond to prevent the clicking sound from stopping and starting the camera. they also said that they could see a person in the background that shouldnt have been there and if took more time that we could have prevented that.

180 degree rule was used alot but there had been times where we crossed the line which we should have catched up on and changed to prevent it being shown in the final footage. 180 degree rule worked well when walking to the place and during the conversation. if crossing the line during conversation it would have confused the audience which we didnt so it went really well. 

they liked the angles we used for each shot but wish we used a more variety than sticking to the same ones. overall it went well and gonna use the feedback to help us with our opening two minutes. we also need to improve the sound as it was too high and it caused the sound of the door to be high pitch and squeeky which wasnt nice for the audience when watching it.
