Amelia's Evaluation

Preliminary Task Evaluation.

For our preliminary task we had to make a one minute film which includes shot reverse shot, match on action and 180 degree rule.

We created a film about a hostage situation, and we had to decide on the locations and the plot as a group. For the location we used an old isolated room and the learning centre. We used cross cutting between scenes to add more intensity within the characters.

When we were filming the match on action scenes we had a few problems because they didn’t match completely, we also had trouble with the camera at one point because it went jolty on one clip. With the 180 degree rule we found that we broke this a few times, we resolved this by cutting down the clips to try and make them fit in. To vary our shots we used different camera angles to make it more interesting.

For this task we used I-movie to put our film together and edit clips, I learnt how to add sound to a film and different effects. I think we could have improved our film by being slightly more organised as a group.
