Preliminary Task Evaluation PART 2

How would your rate your teamwork out of 10? Justify your answer

I thought that my team worked really well together and would give us overall a 7/10. As i was the director i sometimes got frustrated at the fact that my teammates were taking to long to get things done, such as finalising shots and getting them perfect.

How would you rate your personal contribution out of 10? Justify your answer

Personally, i would rate my contribution to our film as 8/10. I would give myself this as i was the main person in the team and it was down to me to get everything organised and prepared. As a director i think i carried this out very well and was able to cater to everyone ideas and needs.

What will you do better next time?

In terms of our film, i think that we could have worked on our camera shots better. Near the end of filming we began to rush and were under pressure to finish, and as a result it lead to some of our shots being wrong. Also, we could have been more organised and on time as one of my team members turned up late when we was shooting which set us back with time. 

What will you keep doing next time?

I think next time we will continue to work well and communicate and cater to what each other has to say. We had a few problems with miss communication which led to starting late when filming.

Evaluate your success with:

1) The 180 degree rule

This was one of our difficult shots in our film. Once editing we felt that we had broken the 180 degree rule and consulted our teacher to see what he thought. He advised use to re-shoot which meant we was behind. We had to re-shoot our interview scene doing it from the right side so that it didn't look as though we was breaking it. However, after watching the film back several times I realised that we did break it in one shot, and over the shoulder shot where it should have been on the other side.

2) Shot reverse shot
I think that our shot reverse shot was really successful and we was able to successfully master it. We used a shot reverse shot when doing our confrontation scene. By doing this you are able to see the reaction between both characters.

3) Match on action/continuity

I think that the continuity worked really well and in editing managed to make it flow well, helping to tell the story. When editing we didn't use transitions in order to help the continuity as our film was an interrogation. By adding transitions it would reflect what we was trying to show so we used clean cuts to show the match on action.
