Evaluation of preliminary film

Preliminary: Evaluation of preliminary film

For a first time filming I think my preliminary film went well; I stuck to the 180 degree rule and used a range of camera angles, I used shot-reverse shot when the characters walked through the door and the soundtrack sounded good as a non-diagetic sound.

Unfortunately the cameras don’t pick up sound too well so I decided not to have any dialogue in there but the soundtrack worked well and I think as it got louder it built up tension.

I think what worked well was the range of camera angles used, the soundtrack and the editing with the fade in and fade out on both the video and audio- I think it made the video run more smoothly and linked the shots well.

What could have gone better is the actual filming of the shots, as the camera wobbled slightly in some shots, and without any diagetic sounds the narrative was quite vague and may not of made sense to anyone.
