Evaluation

For our project we had to produce a continuity video using shots from different angles, two people having a conversation and a person walking through a door. For our project Raees and I chose to have a person rushing to get their homework finished before the start of lesson.

To ensure that we kept to the rule of thirds we tried to keep Akshay's eyes on the top line when he was running through the school and during his conversation, there were some problems with this when trying to put the different shots together. Also there were some issues in trying to keep to the 180 degree rule, because we didn't film each shot from different angles it was hard, using the footage we had, to keep to the 180 degree rule.

One of the problems that I encountered whilst editing was that we hadn't filmed as much footage as we needed, to be able to match the shots of Akshay running through the door. If I were to go back and do this again I would repeat both shots from more angles and keep the camera recording after the shot had finished to make editing the shots easier.

Another thing that I would change if would be to record some sound of the playground at break, so when Akshay runs across the playground the shot isn't so quiet making it more realistic. I would also have taken some more shots from a variety of different angles to help give the video more fluidity which would also help with the continuity of the piece.

Overall I think that there are many different aspects for me to improve on, the main areas being editing, where I would improve on the transitions that I use, and filming where I would film every shot from different angles making editing easier.
