Post 10: Evaluation

From doing media studies at GCSE, I already had some knowledge and skills about filming and editing. I knew how to use the camera and the different shot sizes, I knew how to do do all the pre-production tasks like the shot list and location recce. And I knew how to use the editing suits. The preliminary task has helped to improve these skills.

By watching our preliminary film back, we can see that there are some areas in which we could have improved. For example some of the shot sizes that we had planned in our shot list weren't used in the filming. For example we used some medium close ups where a close up should have been used. I think this was because the room we had chosen to use was quite busy so we tried to film it quickly. Another area which we may could have improved is the lighting. From watching the clip back it looks quite dull, so maybe we could have filmed a short clip to see what the lighting looked like before filming the actual thing.
