Edit workshop Evaluation

The Encounter was our first piece of exercise in year 12. We were given a brief to work to and had to use our own creativity to further develop the situation given to us on the brief. 

Rule of thirds

 We clearly used the 180 degree rule during our production, rule of thirds is necessary as it allows movement in the shot and also maintains a balance on the screen so that the eye line of the person on the screen is 3/4 way up the screen, which makes the audience  look at something that the person is looking back at them. We also used the 180 degree rule which is one of the most important rules to follow whilst filming our work . The camera cannot go 180 degrees past the persons body or it confuses the audience if the person being shot is on  the right or left of the screen. We broke this rule whilst filming and realized when we imported all the shots into i movie  This then made  us have to re edit.

Match on action

We used match on action very successfully and kept to the brief, The match on action had to be someone, Match the action of the paper throwing into a bin.Match on action is an important part of continuity editing as it creates a smooth flow in the movie which we were working on.  During our filming we faced many problems however we changed our position twice as the the throwing of the paper  did not end up in the bin this made no sense and was not suitable for our movie. If I was to film again I would change a lot of things such as our location the alley way was not perfect for the scene that we filmed and I will make the throwing of the paper sinc with going in the bin and I will focus more.

 When filming I faced  some challenges, one of them was picking a day when me and my partner could film there was one day when I could not be there to help because I was busy and, also I had another challenge where I didn't focus and I lost concentration quickly however we faced a major challenge because of our story board because we were doing the storyboard individually instead of doing as a group we also took our time filming because we were getting confused with the camera angle and,shot. We also found another problem because the actors took time to get in character which had a huge role in our filming.

In my edit workshop session Chris showed me how to use a program called I Movie. and I had to use it because I had to make changes to my video because some parts didn't make sense and, it was missing  footage this allowed me to edit it and make the footage link to each other. I struggled because I  had to re film the footage that's why it made sense because in the first draft it was paper magically ending on the floor but when I had to re film I made sure that when my partner threw the paper it would end in the bin this meant that we had used match on action.

I think if I had to re film this whole project I will concentrate and, I will focus because when we were filming it took us ages to film because we would spend at least 6 to 10 minutes on the first shot while if we did it quicker it would not of took us ages and I will try to stay after school that's why we can film, however I will be more organised along side with my partner, because we easily forget things.

Overall I thought that we did a great job but I think that we needed to make a massive improvement because our story board did not make any sense at all and we will be more organised ,we will also use a different variety of camera angle and shots and we will work at a quicker pace.
