Evaluation

How did you use 180 degree rule, rule of thirds & match on action?

i used the 180 degree rule quite well in the conversation however towards the end of the conversation i forgot and went on the wrong side. i had to use the mirror effect on iMovie to change this and try and make it stay in the 180 degree rule.


i used the rule of thirds very well in my video because every shot i done whether it was a mid shot, long shot or close up etc. i used the rule of thirds and used it well. This makes the shot look better because the eyes are a third of the way up the screen so the head of the person in the shot isnt right at the top.

What challenges did you face during production? What would you change if you were to film again?

The challenges i faced during production was trying to keep the film flowing without having any jump cuts.i found this rather challenging because i didn't properly plan and look at my storyboard when filming also because i think i rushed the filming so i didn't really think about the jump cuts. If i was to film again i would film the running scene in a more straight circuit so it will not be as hard to keep it flowing because i had to keep moving in different positions to film the actor running. also i would have more speech in there.

What challenges did you face during post-production? What would you change if you were to edit again?
The challenges i faced during post production was trying to put the shots together without any jump cuts, but because there was some i had to hide them with fades and shots of a clock to show time was going past. if i could edit again i would change the music while he was running to something less urban and maybe add some music towards the end or a sound effect when they haven't done the homework.

What are the overall strengths of your work? Why?
The overall strengths of my work was the editing because i was able to cover up most of my mistakes wile filming with the editing. so the editing was a strength because it made it look good. also i think another strength of my work could be the creativity because when he was running i didn't bore the viewer by just showing him running i done a shot of his legs running which showed he was running but they couldn't see where to also i thought at the end when he through the book at his friend was rather creative.




What are the overall weaknesses of your work? Why?
I think the overall weaknesses of my work would be my planning because i did not spend much time thinking of an idea i just thought of a quick one and stuck to it instead of taking time and thinking of a really good idea. also i didn't spend much time story boarding either i rushed the storyboard and went straight to filming. another weakness was filming because i had to many jump cuts, another weakness is that i failed to use the 180 degree rule i had to change that and make it work by using the mirror effect on imovie.

What overall improvements would you make to your work?

overall the improvements i would make is i would plan it properly and spend more time thinking of a good idea and then spend more time making a good story board so i know what needs to happen in the movie, i will use the 180 degree rule better, try filming without havin any jump cuts and edit the footage more.
