Evaluation of Preliminary - Developed

For our Preliminary Task we used a range of camera angles to add different perspectives. For example we used Shot Reverse Shot during the conversation which provided different angles so the audience could easily understand who is speaking and familiarise themselves with the characters.
An Over The Shoulder Shot was also used during the conversation so as to imply that there are two people involved in the scene and that they are talking to one another. Our group also felt that an Extreme Close Up Shot was essential throughout the clip as it told the audience a story visually. It was effectively used at the end of our video so it clearly expressed frustration in our character without the use of dialogue by using an extreme close up of the face.

The locations we chose were also key in our video as it was meant to show how our character (the cheater) was frantically looking for the reviser. Our video begins with the Cheater waiting outside the Arc for the Reviser who never shows up. This use of an open space means the audience can see more than the main character as they have a different perspective which then hints that nobody is actually coming. The Canteen was then used in the next scene in which too is an open space. This meant that the Cheater could run through whilst we use a Tracking Shot so we are following her movements for the audience to see. Because the Canteen is full of people sitting down, it then emphasises how stressed the cheater is because they are running in contrast to others in the shot which then makes it visually interesting as nobody is moving but the character, who is running.

Our group always considered continuity but there was an accidental error in which certain details were noticeably changed - such as shoes. To avoid confusion with the audience we had to re-shoot some of the footage as it was key to our plot. For example at the end we noticed that the shoes had changed - yet it was the main focus of the shot so we had to film it again so that it did not break the continuity rule. However in some circumstances we simply didn't use the footage with noticeable changes as it wasn't essential to the plot and therefore didn't ruin it.
