The document provides a preliminary evaluation of a film project, noting that selecting shots and camera angles went well but that acting, shot duration, and lighting could be improved. Technical difficulties uploading videos and learning to use the editing software delayed progress. For the final task, appropriate locations, comfortable actors, dim lighting, and eerie music will be used to improve the thriller theme and outcome.

1. Preliminary Evaluation

2. What Went Well We selected the shots to use together well and managed to fit them together to create the storyline we wanted. We also managed to use all the necessary camera angles.

3. What Could be Improved The acting in the shots doesn’t fit together to create a continuous story. The duration of the shots also disrupt the dialogue. The lighting could have been darker to fit with the thriller theme and we could have added in some eerie music to add tension .

4. What Was Difficult about this Process Uploading the videos onto the Mac for editing was unsuccessful many times which delayed the editing process. It was also difficult to use the editing programme as we hadn’t used it before.

5. What did I learn from this Process I learnt how to upload the videos onto a Mac and how to use the programme to edit which will save time when editing my final task and will give us more time to give an improved outcome. I also learnt that a fifteen second break at the start and end of a shot is not necessary.

6. What Skills will I use when Filming and Editing my Final Task? I will use an appropriate location that allows space to get the right camera angles. I will also use people comfortable with acting to perform the story for an effective outcome. To keep to the thriller theme, I will use dim lighting where possible. When editing, I will include eerie music to add tension along with selective sound.
