Evaluation Task 8

I will make progress next year by improving my knowledge all the key terms such as all of the different camera shots, and camera angles and incorporating them into my filming as in our 2 minute film I felt we could of been more diverse on our shots and camera angles. I would of also had made my film opening longer and with more dialogue and background music as I thought our film opening lacked in these things.

In my next production to improve my film making I would like to use a higher quality camera as  our film was quit grainy in some areas. The reason I would like to use a higher quality camera is so the film opening looks more real and is in a higher quality this will make the film more professional.

Next year I would like to use more props and better costumes for mise-en-scene to make the film look better and this can also allow us to do more things in our film and make it more entertaining overall.

I would like have more careful and risque camera composition to make filming of a higher quality.

I would like to make the editing faster and smoother to help increase tension in the film as it was a horror film. i would do this by having faster cuts and also try to include shots like shot reverse shot.

Finally I would like to make the sound clearer and louder as in our film it was not as loud I would of like it.

Evaluation Task 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt from the progression of it to the full product?

 These two shots show a medium shot containing our character with facial expressions . The character featured in the preliminary task on the right is the same character in our film opening on the left.

After this we cut to a close up of our character's hand opening the door, with this our camera was quite shaky which did not make it look like a proper film, so in our actual film we addressed that by trying to hold the camera a lot stiller.

When the characters are speaking we had to cut it up to allow us to do different camera shots such as the over the shoulder shot with this in our editing we had a slight delay on our speech which meant it did not look professional so when we were editing our actual film we made sure we did not have any speech delay to make the film as good as we possibly could.

We used match on action in the preliminary task when the character  puts his hand on the door handle to open the door. We did not use match action in our film opening as we felt it was not particularly needed and also it would not look right in our film.

We used shot reverse shot in both the preliminary task and the film opening. But in our film opening we made it look more professional by not having delays on our speech, which we did have in the preliminary task.
