Mini brief evaluation

When filming the man opening the box over the shoulder we made good use of foreshadowing by seeing the ring at the beginning of the scene. However, it did not look very professional as viewers can see that the screen is shaking. To avoid this is the future, I would definitely use a tripod for all of the shots.

When the girl walks into the room, a good continuity was created by use of match on action. On the other hand, the filming from outside was slightly out of focus which is obvious to the audience.

Unfortunately, the sound of the conversation sounded quite muffely so in future a microphone should have been used. Another way to fix this problem would be to remove all background noises.

A problem I also noticed was after they greeted each other, we finished filming then and then it jumped to another shot when it should have been continuous.

Her and the boy greet each other with a hug. However, during this action, there is lots of dead space as the characters as not in the middle of the screen.
This issue occurs again when they both sit down. As you can see, all of the action is taking place in the bottom third of the frame.

  

A good use of the technique, shot-reverse-shot, but again, by using the tripod would have avoided the video from being quite shaky and looking unprofessional.

Also, the music we had added should sync with the climax and dialogue of the script as the music kicks in too soon.

When the girl gasps, there is good use of close up for effect. Also the man is in the centre of the screen when he is down on one knee meaning that that audiences full attention are on the scene.

The mise-en-scene and costumes were not appropriate for the narrative and the audience can see that it is set in a school class room.
