Preliminary Task | Evaluation
In my opinion, we have address continuity errors well. For
us, however, we know that what you see in the film doesn't link up with the
actual layout of our school, which is where all this is filmed, but to someone
who hasn't been to our school, they wouldn't notice this. During our piece, we have
used match on action when opening the door, shot reverse shot during talking,
but we didn't use the 180 degree rule since it wasn't necessary.
In my opinion, our group worked well together, however, I’m willing to admit that I was the weakest link in the group. This is because I wasn't the best when it came to meeting deadlines our group set and only just got the video uploaded in time. If we were to film this again, we would spend more time working on a script, since our piece is only just over the required 1 minute minimum time (can be seen in the screenshots above. The entire video was only 1:12). I believe we planned our film well and in detail, the only thing is, like I said earlier, is that it could've done with being longer. In our piece we did use transitions, but only a fade between the title screens.
This is because we didn't want to go overboard with transitions as, in my opinion, overuse can make it seem untidy. I have learned a lot about the editing software, since it was the sole editor of our footage. I was surprised how easy it was to make the film and adding sound effects, which I did also, was easier that I thought. The only issue I had with the software was at home, it was a bit of a faff to save it as an .mp4 since every time I tried to save it, iMovie would crash.
I'm assuming this is a problem with my version of the software but I found a way around this anyway, albeit being rather longwinded.
