Foundation Portfolio - Presentation of Preliminary Task, Self Evaluation

Feedback

Positives

- Good use of camera angles

- Good use of lighting

- Good use of zooming (but should be avoided, as typically used in comedies)

- Good use of rule of thirds

- Good use of match on action

Criticism

- Needs more effective use of transitions (Needed more straight cuts for match on action instead of the dissolves that were used)

- Needs more care with recording the sound due to echoes from being in a widely open room

My Thoughts

Overall I believe that the preliminary task went well but could of been improved with the feedback given as well as other problems that we encountered throughout the task. These problems were; actors not being in lesson therefore leaving us unable to move on with recording, loss of data also occurred resulting in time being used to re-capture the footage. Even though these problems occurred we still managed to complete the task on schedule and receive positive feedback from our peers.
