Prelim task evaluation

The prelim brief was to include:

• Match-on-action
• 30 second dialogue
• Shot reverse shot

And must also follow the 180 degree rule.


In iMovie we used a variety of editing techniques. We had to mute the diabetic sounds that we didn't want in the short clip.we Then added no diabetic sound/music to create the atmosphere that we as a group decided we wanted. We also tuned the lighting to the brightness and colour that would create a continuous contrast throughout the prelim task.


Josh May-He was the member of the group who took an overall control and lead during the editing as this is the area that he is strongest in,therefore we decided on appointing his services to this task.He processed the shots that we had filmed and put them into a rough cut.
Damian Mathers-He was the main person involved with the filming of the footage we needed for the prelim task.He managed to get all the shots required in the brief, and me and the rest of the group confidently believe that these shots captured were very effective. 
Ryan Kent-Ryan also took part in some filming including the shot reverse shot. He had a clear idea of what we wanted to have therefore our ideas and his  clearly worked when we were filming the sequence.Ryan was also the person to produce the script for the piece.


I worked upon many sections within the task.For example i was the only member of the team that was featured within the prelim task filming. I assigned myself to this region as i do not mind being on camera and we had to have somebody within the piece.Before we started the filming and the editing we created a plan in which all our ideas were taken into account,this plan was then formulated into the film that we produced. I worked alongside Damian Mathers on constructing this plan.When we eventually started upon the editing i contributed with various ideas such as the use of slow motion when Mary is walking during the match-on-action shots. 


In conclusion i would say that the whole procedure of planning,filming and editing went extremely well. I happily believe that every member of the team contributed in there own way, and due to different members having different skills in certain areas, specialising members to specific jobs within the task was a good idea.
However i believe that we could have met all the tasks included in the brief if we reread it before filming as our footage was 1 minute long when the brief asks for 30 seconds. This could have definitely been done better as we could have made the clips shorter.
Another disadvantage of our group was that i would have liked to get more of my ideas across during the editing although they might have not been good but i would have liked the group to consider them.For example making the colour into black and white as i believe this would have added to the atmosphere we were looking to create.

As you can see above we have completed the 180 degree rule.
