Blog Post 2 - Prelim Evaluation

I think the skill that I developed most was my planning skills. I've already had done editing and filming so they came easy to me.  The planning was also easy but it was the writing it down which I developed as I'm so use you just remembering it in my head that I don't need to actually write it down. I also developed my skill in planning dialogue as I'm so use to improvising as the scene happens. 
I think my best skill is editing. I am a perfectionist when it come to editing so I always try to make it the best I can, even through in the prelim there are some Tibet mistakes if I had more time they would be gone. I am less good at planning. I tend to go by memory because that's just the way I am it also means I can add things on when I get an idea. This can be bad as I may forget things and planning did help with the prelim.

I was very successful with capturing all the shots needed (e.g. walking through the door, sitting down and conversation). We also used a wide range of shot angles and shot types. We wanted to get a variety to show what we could do. We also made sure to get shots from different places and match them together so that even though it was 5 shots, it looked like one flawless movement (match cut). We also used shot reverse shot to capture the conversation. So one person would be captured doing there whole dialogue then we would film the other. Then we edited it all together into the places they should be. 

All the aspects of the prelim were good except for two parts. The dialogue quality and the framing. The framing was not right in a few scenes. There's on shot where the characters head should be in the top right third when in fact it's in the middle right third so that was wrong. The dialogue is also hard to hear and not good content which could be improved on. They were the major issues that were wrong with the prelim.

I would change the dialogue in the sequence defiantly. It wasn't of a high enough slandered for my liking. It also wasn't true to the scene like it didn't feel right. I would also change the framing slightly just so the head was in the right place,so it didn't look so wrong. Other then that I actually like the prelim.

​Storyboards. They are important, they really are they help you keep on top of what you've shot and not shot. It gives you direction and helps if you forget anything. It's also not strick, like while shorting you can add something in that wasn't  there but you would think would make the scene better. It could always be added to the story board after, it's only there to show you your basic idea and help everyone understand what's being shot.
