Evaluation

What worked well:

-> The use of diegetic sound of students talking in the background creates a realistic effect of the natural school environment in which some of the shots were filmed.

-> Our match on action shot worked well, it consisted of a naturalistic flow of the opening of the door in the three shots used.

-> The actresses we used took the task seriously which improved the quality of our piece, making it look more professional.

What didn't work so well:

-> The shot reverse shot of Amy talking, there was nothing to rest the tripod on so I had to hold it, this caused the shot to be slightly wobbly.

-> When the dialogue takes place, the sound of the speech is overpowered by the background noise.

Overall, our preliminary task worked better then we had hoped. We had a minor issue as we had not included any dialogue, we overcame this by adding the part with girl 3 in the end. We thought this bit worked well as we were able to use shot-reverse-shot and it extended the length of the clip.
