Preliminary Film Evaluation
Group Skills
I felt that Jordan and I worked well as a pair in this task. We both had specific ideas about what we wanted to include in the film, which we compromised well on. As I starred in the production, I didn't do as much filming as Jordan did in the production of our prelim. However, I did get some filming in when Jordan was infront of the camera. We both had equal input on the editing process of our product and so we both felt we had equalled out the tasks we both had to complete.
Planning
As we had to complete our prelim in a short amount of time, our planning for this task was very minimal. We decided quickly on what room to film in, due to availability and not preference, and we planned our storyline as ideas came to us during the filming process. However, when it came to what skills we needed to show, we planned exactly what we needed to do and where, so we got the filming done that wasn't in the room very quickly.
To improve our planning next time, we will create a storyboard so we know what we are going to film and so we can decide where we need to film in advance.
Filming Skills
As we included a match-on-action shot, a shot-reverse-shot, a pan and an establishing shot, Jordan and I felt we met the ideals of what was needed in the film. However, due to our limited time, we rushed a few shots. For the pan especially, the shot was fast and wasn't smooth. This could be improved if we slowed the speed of the pan and/or could have been rectified if we filmed this pan multiple times. As we used a tripod forthe rest of our filming, we did not struggle with shaky shots, however, we were limited to filming still takes and pans only. In future, we would include trackshots to show a diversity in skills.
Editing Skills
For our prelim, we only inlcuded cuts in between shots where it suited the flow of the film. This was to be expected as we were in the early stages of learning to edit, so we did not know any advanced editing techniques. I am hoping to improve as the year goes by, and I feel that is achievable.
Sound
We planned not to add any additonal sound to our film to create tension between the two characters on screen. It was also a more feesable option as we were not sure on how to add additional sound to our film initially. As we did not have any unnecessary background sound, we were able to leave additional sound out of our film.
Overall, I feel that we created a good film considering the stage at which our skills were at the time of filming. To improve, we aim to focud more on planning, so that we can clearly identify what and where we need to film. We completed all that was asked of us, so as a group we are pleased.
