Preliminary Task Evaluation

I apologise for not posting my evaluation at an earlier date. 'The Door Opens' has an evaluation of sorts, but isn't my actual evaluation typed up after the preliminary task. The evaluation may seem short, but that is because I have little to say on the topic. I'll post the final product again below for quick reference.

Our preliminary task, while it had bumps along the way, went fairly well in my opinion. We took our time with camerawork and editing to get a relatively good piece of work. Not excellent by any standards, but quite good for a preliminary task done within the timeframe of a few hours.

There were quite a few shots that didn’t match up, and we didn’t manage to finish it due to time restraints, but we managed to edit all together rather smoothly so the shots fit quite well into each other. We encountered audio problems along the way, such as talking in the rooms behind the camera in the first shot, but we chose to ignore these issues, as they are rather small.

We used many shots in the task, such as a 180 shot and a tracking shot. We made the camera act like an actual camera on a couple of occasions, tracking the interrogator walking outside to suggest that you’re looking through a camera and filming the interrogation from the above corner.

As said before, the editing came together quite well, even with the few mistakes made while filming. The transitions were smooth and the shots fit together. The dialogue wasn’t sublime, and nor was it executed amazingly, but we weren’t focusing on that as much as the camerawork and editing, as we were told to.

So, overall, the task was successful and we only encountered a few problems, most of which were resolved. The result was good for a preliminary task.

Note: I'll add a photo or two later.
