When producing this video we decided that we would need to include all the props that would work with the actions we would need to film. We decided we would film in school; one of the empty rooms at the time was on the top floor. We decided this would be good as it had a door which Match-on-Action would work well. There were stools we could align for the sit down shot as well.
What I learnt from making this video for the task is quite a few things that I would need to improve on for the main project.
The first problem that came to us is that we hadn't really scouted out a location before shooting day so we had a problem with finding a place quick enough and also finding one that would suit a story well enough. We also noticed that when we got back to the computer there wasn't enough lighting for the shots so it was hard to see at times.
I also believe that some of the editing wasn't done very well. I couldn't find a very good door knocking sound therefore recorded my own. It gives it comedy value but this isn't the aim of the piece.
If I was to do it again I would scout out a location before hand and also make sure lighting is good. I would also vary the shots and angles to make the movie more interesting and less Amateur. I would also spend more time on the editing, finding songs on the Internet and other sound effects.
The sound quality in this task was also very poor. The camera microphone isn’t too good and to get rid of the background noise we would have to use a boom microphone attached to the camera, which we did not have. We tried re-recording the audio back at the Mac but it was hard to fit it right so we didn’t bother. In our main task we would have to learn to get a better quality sound and learn how to record audio more precisely.
180 Degree Rule - We kept to this rule when shooting the dialogue seen. This was to avoid confusion for the Audience when watching.
Match-on-Action - Two cuts that show the same action continuing on in each cut.
Shot-Reverse Shot - This shot was used in the dialogue to show the reactions of each of the characters after each part was said. It is when the camera looks at one character, moves to the next, and then back to the original character it was pointing at, usually showing a reaction to what has just been said.
Feedback gained from this clip was again, both positive and negative. Our target audience liked the editing to create atmosphere and also how the music comes in with the video clips.
Negative feedback was mainly about how we had bad lighting. We did not take White balance into effect and also how the screen on the camera is brighter than it would be on computers
