My First Video- Continuety Sequence

                                                                                       Evaluation
 My favourite aspect of this short task was the way we set the piece up. The reason why this was my favourite aspect of the video is because I felt it was the bit of the video that had the most impact on the final piece. Another aspect of the piece that I felt was my favourite is how our continuity could have been almost perfect apart from one little blip with the sound. Apart from that the continuity was quite good and the overall piece flowed quite well.

 My least favourite aspect of this video was the dialogue. The reason being is that I don’t feel that the dialogue was very well organised and I also feel that it was a bit random. It also made it hard to place a soundtrack over the top of the actual video as we had to cut the song before the dialogue. I also feel that the loss in sound ruined the mood a little bit.

During the filming and editing, I feel that our group worked efficiently and co-operatively to create a smooth flowing end product. The bits in the product I feel went well are the transitions. The reasons for this are that in post-production our group worked hard to make sure each separate shot flowed well into the next one. I also feel that the different shot types such as the close up of Luke’s bewildered face after the other actor exit’s worked quite well. The reason for this is because it captures the feel well and kind of sets a mood for the piece. In production and post-production I feel that maybe the titles and end credits were a bit boring. I think we also could have improved the sound track and the dialogue mix as they class and it doesn’t look very professional. I feel that another aspect that could have been improved in filming and editing could have been the storyline. I feel that some of the viewers may have been confused by what is going on in the actual scene so therefore the piece doesn’t have the impact we wanted it to.

I feel that our group could improve the dialogue. Another thing I feel our group could improve is the loss of ambient sound. There is one section in our product where the sound is completely lost and this is quite obvious to the viewers. I feel that we could do this by maybe re-filming the two shots. If we were to undertake this task again, I would personally try and make the sound a lot smoother and if there was as slight problem I’d add a wild track in place of the missing sound/dialogue.
