Evaluation of Preliminary (Ciara Nolan)

WWW:

Shot reverse shot was used effectively as we ensured the shot exactly matched the shot beforehand. In this case, Maria was walking through a door, so we had to make sure that she used the same hand each time and was wearing the same outfit, otherwise the shot would not have looked realistic. Therefore, when it came to editing we cut the scenes to ensure the shots flowed smoothly into one another. This meant we accomplished continuity editing successfully.

As well as this, we shot each scene 3 times to confirm the shot was in focus, the white balance was correct, and we were meeting the criteria to the best of our ability. This also enabled us to get different angles of the scene which proved to be very helpful during editing. Through editing we were also able to add music that corresponded to the atmosphere of our film. 

EBI:

In the scene whereby Jodie and Maria are having a conversation we unintentionally broke the 180-degree rule. We only noticed this when it came to editing, so I have learnt that next time I need to ensure we are following the 180-degree rule and if next time we notice while filming we will be able to correct ourselves by filming that scene again properly. By breaking the 180-degree rule this made that particular scene quite jumpy and makes it look unrealistic in the eyes of the audience. 

At the start of filming the white balance on the camera was incorrectly set, which created an unsightly blue/green colour cast. Therefore we had to change the balance to ensure when filming, it was a realist colour.
