Evaluation on pre-lumiary

EVALUATION ON PRELIMINARY


The pre-luminary video that we had created included match on action, 180 degree rule shot and shot/reverse/shot. Within our video we included a small amount of dialogue and over the shoulder shots.

 

We worked in a small group of three. We had a day of filming and a day of learning of how to edit our material on iMovie.  As a group we came to a decision of basing our pre-luminary film on the TV show “Made in Chelsea”. From doing this we wore the type of clothing that the character in the show would wear eg fur coats, and high heels. We decided to use the 180 degree rule shot as it helps to establish the position of each person, and get the feel of looking at one person from the other's point of view.

 

The next shot that we decided to use was a Two Shot. Two-shots are good for establishing a relationship between subjects. The two actors have equal prominence in the frame; the implication is that they will provide equal input.

 

As a group we felt that we created a detailed story board which included what shots and what camera angles we would be using, we also did not need any extra filming time as we completed the task during the lesson. I also feel that we learnt the lines quickly and capably which helped us to film the pre-luminary more efficiently, and we learnt how to use the camera effectively.

 

However we found some parts of the filming rather difficult, for example when we finally uploaded the video the IMovie we struggled to edit some parts of the film which limited our time to finish the movie. To overcome this error next time we can spend more time working and learning how to use IMOVIE. We also struggled to find a room within the school which had the correct lighting for each of our scenes, to avoid this next time we shall try to book a specific room which we feel will look most effective within our thriller opening.

 

I have gained many skills and knowledge from creating this pre-luminary for example; I have learnt how to use some parts of IMOVIE which I shall be using next time for when we create our next movie. I have also learnt how to use the tripod, and the camera that we used within the thriller opening.

 

To conclude I have fully enjoyed creating and editing our pre-luminary. When creating our next thriller opening I shall be making sure that I know how to use IMOVIE to edit our movie in an effective and professional way.
