Evaluation

Our brief was to shoot a short video with someone entering a room and exchanging a few lines of dialog with another character. Taking into mind the skills of basic video production; so continuity editing with Sharpe cuts between shots. And whilst filming the footage the framing must look professional by using the rule of thirds. And checking what is in the frame.
I feel in general our production went very well for our first attempt at film making. Our group fulfilled most of the brief whist shooting trying to get shots in thirds. But in one shot whist a character was walking across the shot from left to right the cinematographer had the character in the right vertical third when they should have been shot in the left vertical. Then after that shoot the cut to the next shoot feels very irregular to the viewer, this is due to the actor changing their body stance in the change of shot when opening the door. Most of the rest of the cinematography is good. The eye line match on the two-shots and shot-reverse-shot is good and meets the upper horizontal third. But some of the over-the-shoulder shots there was dead space between the top of the frame and the top of the actors head. And the sound quality was generally good apart from nearer the end of the clip the boom operator didn’t wrap the microphone wire around the boom so this created an irregular/ unnatural sound in the final piece.
