PRELIMINARY TASK EVALUATION
STRENGTHS
For my group, it was a first time at directing, editing and setting
up the framing and mise-en-scene for an interview.
Our first strength was that we used an extreme close
up of a text message, it was taken as a way to show
the audience the name of our documentary.
A second strength was that we positioned the
interviewee to the right of centre, which is a
conventional position for interviews, also that our
interviewee never looked directly at the camera.
Another strength would be that our interviewee was
captured in a medium close up, which is a common
form of camera shot used in interviews.
A fourth strength was that the light source was also
located in front of the interviewee to avoid
silhouettes.
My group also used a variety of cutaways to show
relevance to what the interviewee is talking about.
Lastly, our final strength was that the audio of the
interview had no background noise.
WEAKNESSES
The first of our weaknesses to our interview
was that the positioning of the camera and
framing was just below eye level, at a low
angle; which can be used, but its normally to
show power/authority.
In addition, there wasn't specific mise-en-
scene in the background of our interview,
which should've linked to our topic and/or the
interviewee. Also, too much head room had
been left within the framing, which can
distract the audience.
Lastly, our cutaways in the entire interview
were seen as boring and wouldn't keep an
audience interested due to the quality of
them and the lack of variety it had, and they
were left on the screen for too long.
