Evaluation

(The video can be found on abbie's blog)


The planning process -
What planning did you do and why?
we planned our script and camera angles so we knew exactly how what shots needed to be filmed.
How well organised were you?
we weren't 100% organised, we weren't entirely sure on how to film it.
What would you change next time?
we would plan our shoot more in depth, make sure the camera's worked perfectly.

The video production -
What did you do, does it work, do the edits (match on action) work well?
we used a variety of shots, a list of which can be found on this blog, we feel the match on action worked well but at one scene one of the actors heads got a bit cut off.
Have you stuck to the 180 deg rule?
we tried to.
Are the shots & angles well framed (rule of 3rds)?
i wasn't sure whilst filming but in the final product, i think it looks well framed.
Does it look convincing as a conversation?
we tried to make it as convincing as possible. there are pauses which were in the script and used in the film but it might seem as if they are there from bad editing,
What would you change to improve it?
add more dialogue and shoot every scene at a low, medium and then high angle.

Overall -  how well have you completed the preliminary task?
i think we completed the preliminary task to the best of our ability using the knowledge we knew so far about editing.

Final Cut Pro

Since I learnt how to change the movie file into an AVI, and basic editing, all I really needed to do was learn how to batch capture. I used websites I found google to use as tutorials.
