Evaluation
In Wednesday's media session, our preliminary task was set. The preliminary exercise is a continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. I believe that I fulfilled all of the criteria in this video, however one thing miserably let me down when I began editing. There was no establishing shot. Along with this, I also unintentionally filmed Frankie walking into the room from the left, then filmed her coming into the room from the other side. This was a fault that I would easily be able to change in future videos, but am disappointed with having done it in my preliminary task.
On the other hand, there are many things in this video that I am delighted with. One of those being my shot switch at 8 seconds into the video. As Frankie was walking up the stairs, I then included a shot of Isaac looking at his watch and waiting, which portrayed the destination that Frankie was heading to when walking up the stairs. I filmed three different clips for this scene, and feel that including one of the watch was an effective choice for inserting after I'd filmed Isaac looking down at his watch. It allows the audience to see exactly what Isaac is seeing. I began the clip of isaac with a transition of a circle closing and then ended it with another transition of a circle opening, which was when it went back to Frankie continuing her walk up the stairs.
The beat of the music in the background partnered with Frankie's first step on the tiny floor perfectly. Her stride was in sync which I was extremely happy with.
I am confident that I was able to make each clip look as though it flowed with ease with the one before it. This took a lot of trials, however I managed to get it right in the end. I also like in my video how I filmed Frankie pulling out her chair and focused the camera on the chairs movement. As she sat down, her arms were in mid action when going down on the table. When i'd filmed a completely different shot, her arms then completely went down on the table. I appreciate how I got this correct, but am gutted that I forgot to include an establishing shot of them talking before they continued their conversation.
I succeeded with the 180 degree rule, making sure that Frankie was always on the left of the camera and Isaac was always on the right. Although I may have got this feature correct, I shamefully left a bit of space in the shot of Frankie talking. To the left of her there was an area being wasted, where I could have actually used it to focus more on her face as she spoke.
My filming nevertheless is still quite shaky. This will always be something that I aim to perfect until I actually perfect it. With my titles, I feel that these never let me down. I introduced the audience to the video and the characters involved within it, and then finalised the video through mentioning who was behind the production, filming, editing and directing: me!
