Evaluation

1. The conversation task evaluation
What went well?
I managed to successfully use match on action as Billie walked through the door. I
also used shot reverse shot and the 180 degree rule as she was talking to Fergus. I
also used sound effects and music that fits in with the video, I think this added to the
comedy. I also used a dissolve at the end and faded the music out so it ended
smoothly.
What didn’t go well?
The camera quality wasn’t as good as I had hoped for as I used a lower quality
camera. I also thought that my shot types where poorly chosen as it sometimes
appears as if the camera is jumping around randomly.
Would you change anything if you could go back and start over?
I would use a higher quality camera from the beginning so that the film would be in
higher definition. I would also plan my exact shot types so that the camera wouldn’t
jump around.
What have you learnt for next time?
I have learned that the planning is key to create a good film so I need to devote
plenty of time into planning every aspect of it, including shot types, costumes,
locations etc. I have also learned that I need to use a high quality camera for the
best possible outcome.
