Edit workshop evaluation

The camera techniques used was the 180 degree rule and this when the characters are on the same side of the camera no matter where you move when filming as long as you do not pass the line at which is in the middle. The 'shot' reverse 'shot' rule is when a conversation is included when the shots go either side of the over the persons shoulder to show the other person talking to them. The rule of thirds is ensuring that the persons eye are always a third down the street. These rules are essential for getting a good recording.

This is the 180degree rule shown in the video where the camera doesn't pass the 180 degree line to show the person will always stay on the same side..

This shows the rule of thirds from Chloe's eyes being a third down the screen.

This is a shot that has been taken this is taken.

This is the reverse shot from the original shot 

This is where the shot has gone back form the shot reverse shot.

The were different challenges found when filming but the lighting was a small problem so not all of the footage was clear also the filming took place at a different house so there wasn't a door handle/ knob to turn so we had to use keys. The thing i would change when filming again would be the house and the noise around where the filming took place and last of all ensuring that there is a door handle/knob. I would also change the time of day to set the scene a lot of better to create a more tense and suspicious atmosphere.
If i were to edit again I'd ensure that my shots and the techniques used are in the right places and are shown in the best way possible. I could have added effects to make the production more interesting to draw the view in to the short encounter more.
The opportunity to change things for the recording would be god as the mistakes made could be improved to show a better quality and performance to the video for a chance to adjust things from before. I would also change the length of the clips so the next time i would over film so i get more footage in-case there is an error with the just the normal footage.
The strength of my work was being able to film all the shots in one day and complete them during editing. While editing the match on action was a good strength as it seemed to have been completed very well. My creativity was a strength as i placed the camera n the floor to look at my feet walk passed as if to say i was really there. The digital software i movie helped me improve my overall film as it enabled me to edit and cut part of excess footage out that wasn't needed which helped improve my encounter production to also show strengths in my work.

This shows my feet walking passed the camera on the floor.

The last image on the storyboard matches the image above my feet walking passed the camera on the floor.

During post production i had planned to have complete all the shots that were on my story board so that they would make sense and help the film follow on. I had planned to use different techniques and cuts and effects to improve the video.
I was creative through putting the camera on the floor watching me walk passed however my creativity could have gone further by thinking out of the box with the thoughts for what was going on during the encounter. I could have furthered my creativity when editing the film during my workshop session.
The overall weakness of my work was shown in the shots were i hadn't over filmed and where at time the shot reverse shot had failed so part of the conversation where it was filmed form my shoulder of me talking cause not enough footage was over filmed to be able to catch all the what was going on. Another weakness to my work was the story boarding as not all the shots from on the story board was been able to be shot during the filming, the character in the film was also changed from a boy to a girl and this meant the dialogue had to be changed to now suit that situation.

This shows where some  of the filming had gone wrong as some of it was not fully filmed.

This shows where i was talking but the shot wasn't able to be taken from over Chloe's shoulder as not all of that had been filmed.

To improve my work overall I'd begin to over film shots so i can edit them further and to also add effects to set the scene and atmosphere better in the video. To show an improvement i my work i would ensure all the shots taken have been over filmed so there is extra footage to be edited or change if needed. I would also add music to change the atmosphere and add more shots to make the film a little  bit longer so the production doesn't just end so soon.
