Cont Evalaution

Throughout our media project we have encountered, pros and cons which, help us understand our movie in a better perspective. I worked with adam who, edited differently from me but, with the same clips.

As the movie progresses, we have used a various use of camera shots. We used camera short from long - to close up at the same time, keeping consistent continuity                This shot shows Adam in distress and shock, we have used a close up to express this so that the audience are more clear. We haven't used natural lighting but the opposite as, it creates more of a distress atmosphere to express that Adam is in trouble.

The extreme close up of adam, gives more emphasis on his shocked emotion making the atmosphere more tenser. Moreover, we didn't use natural lighting in this scene as we decided to change it, it made it un-natural as it put more emphasis on the emotions portrayed in the scene, the atmosphere becomes more tense because of this.

This shot, is a extreme long shot of Adam running through the distance, we have used natural lighting to express the dull background and lighting. It expresses that Adam, has made a mistake is his life and is running away from it. It is eye level angle to avoid any confusion. within the audience and, keep it an understandable level.




Challenges
One challenge we faced was having the speech in dialogue quite clear, as sometimes there would be ambient noise distracting the audience therefore, we had to look for various quiet locations that would get rid of the ambient noise. Therefore, we used a classroom. One problem with the classroom is that it made it less realistic as a job interview would not take place, in a environment like that.  Also, our costumes were not ideal as well, as dam is usually wearing a school ID badge making it not look like a job interview, this could create confusion within the audience. Nevertheless, we also had a lot of interruptions within the scenes we was trying to film due to mostly people walking in and out, making the background less realistic within our scenes. Luckily, there was no weather problems of rain when we were filming outside, therefore creating the natural lighting more suited for the atmosphere we was filling in.
180 Degree Rule
The 180 degree rule was broken throughout the film which, was a challenge we faced. However, we have learnt from our mistakes of how important the 180 degree rule is while filming. Because of this, this could create  a lot of disorientation within the audience because of the broken rule.
Match on action
The match on action rule we had to follow went well, as most or near to all of the scenes had good continutity leaving no disoreintation within the audience or any other scenes. Thus, this makes our movie much more clearer to watch without any confusion also, the pace of movie is at a steady pace due to the camera movement and cuts going at a steady pace.





Overall, the movie had good editing and use of lighting and camera shots with angles. However , we made quite a few mistakes for our first production. Firstly, we got the 180 rule degree wrong which, unfortunate creates disruption within the audience and also an unsteady pace of editing. We also, didn't use much of match on action, this would of been better as it made the pace of the movie much faster and fluent.
