The document summarizes an evaluation of a preliminary task and feedback received. It states that the author felt their prelim was overall successful, with the music complementing the script and black and white juxtaposing well with color. Areas for improvement were turning down tense soundtrack and chair sound. Feedback was positive, praising camera shots, following rules, and use of match-on-action and shot-reverse-shot. Advice was to experiment with different heights.

1. ‘EASY JOBS’ Preliminary Task – Evaluation
For me, my prelim felt like an overall success and I am pleased with it. I think
the music complemented the narrative of the script successfully and I also feel
that the use of black and white for the tense shots juxtaposed well with the
use of normal colourwhen the script reached a positive point. Having watched
it back, for me the bad points of the task lie with the sound; I could have just
turned down the tense soundtrack a notch so that it wasn’t so ‘blasting’ for the
ear and I also don’t like how loud and ‘clunky’ the sound of the chair is when
the interviewee leaves the room, so I could’ve turned down the sound at that
point in the clip. However, when I noticed the dialogue wasn’t quite loud
enough, I did bring up the sound of the dialogue and bring down the
soundtrack music so that the dialogue could be more prominent.
So if I was to do it all again, the only things I would change about my
Preliminary Taskis that I would have the interviewee just lookto the sides
and not at the camera for the dance at the end and I would’ve turned down the
soundtracks by a smidgen, especially for the points of dialogue.
Feedback:
 Sam Webb said how he thought the task was “really good”
 Becca Fry said that she really liked the change in colour from the tense
point of the clip, to the happier part
 Miss Henshall said that I had nice camera shots (including match on
action and shot-reverse-shot)and that I kept to the 180 degree rule. She
also said that my task was slightly high angled and that I could have
tried around with different heights
 Mrs Jones said that I had good use of match-on-action, shot-reverse-
shot, and that I abided by the 180 degree rule
