for the final cut we were making sure that the actors head was not cut off the screen during filming as this looks very unnatural.
For our final cut we made sure the camera didn't move and held it steady, this is because we know that you cant achieve more than a band 2 if your camera moves. Also we dratiscly reverse shot as we held in near the shoulders rather then away.
We added a establishing shot when me and prianka were walking down the corridor to get realism
Level 1: 15/60
ReplyDeleteA lot of work is to be done in your understanding of how to use the camera to engage the audience and subsequently your shot selection and the reasons for them. I have the sense you have simply pointed the camera to film, instead of pointing the camera to really construct meaning in relation to the plot and story.
You attempt match on action but it is not executed well, and further understanding of this technique is needed. There needs to be more fluidity across the shots to engage the audience into the idea of time passing. Your sense of clipping and timing in the editing process needs a lot more attention to detail to make the sequence seamless. Continuity is lost as you move from characters walking to a shot of the feet which start from a standing position.
There is no actual SRS evident, and this particular technique is one you need to address. Your technical understanding of camera use is in need of a lot of further consideration. SRS is from the POV of each character and not with the character in the middle of the frame not a simple two-shot. Thus it should be shot over the shoulder of the character. 180 degree rule is fine but your planning should try to convey your understanding of this rule better.
You evaluation of the final cut is simply too short with a lack of technical evaluation on the assessment criteria. I am very very concerned as to your knowledge of technical codes, media terminology and language. I expect to see an A level response with a clear understanding of what you have done here Aman.
