Evaluation

Firstly what this task consisted of and what out intentions where to do and create a 30 seconded clip therefore we needed to use these key aspects of editing :

Match On Action

Shot/Reverse Shot

180 Degree Rule

The planning processIn my opinion I think with the my group the lack of communication had a impact on the planing therefore the editing go to plan. However, the creation of planning did get completed, furthermore if the planning was not finished on time the task would have not been finished. Therefore this helped take action further when actually filming as well being more prepared of what to film and what to use.
In particular with this planning I think that there was still a lot of  room for improvement as not much was done properly and this had a problem on the  Planning had to consist of a: script, shot list, storyboard and ideas of mise en scene. As the planning was done last minute the shots had to decided on the shot, which meant we has to improvise with shots that we had to create on the scene.

Strengths:

1. The 180 degree rule was used correctly
2. Managed to include some continuity editing
3. Type of shots used (such as handheld shot) gave the video the action codes we wanted to achieve.

Weaknesses:

1. Some shots (such as dialogue scene) was out of frame. 
2. Background, non-diegetic audio was too loud thus making the dialogue scene inaudible. 
3. Lighting was off during some scenes (couldn't see characters).
4. Editing was a tad bit too fast paced, causing it to be quite confusing and fast for the audience to understand what is going on.
5. Subjects were too close to camera in the shot/reverse shots.   
6. Make more use of the DSLR - use more extravagant shots 
7. Planning was done last minute - a lot of improvisation

How I will improve for my actual film, i shall use a better sound quality to help understand the genre this will also allow the and also have better communication with my group peers to make sure that everything is being done correctly with in the group which will mean that the content will flow and make a better experience for the audience viewings and pleasures. Furthermore some of the shots where out frame which meant that we did not have good communication with the cameraman or just the fact we did not know how to zoom out with the lens, this in particular was because the fact that it did not have that feature thus it prevented the actors to be out of frame.

However, all in all we did mange to make a 30 second clip that had minor issue which was because the editing was done in such short amount of time, therefore if more time was give I presume we would have gotten rid of these technical issue. Also when editing we all managed to start making our clip which meant we was not technically working in group. This then lead us to think we should think about our future group working as this could mean a critique in groups when deciding for next exercise.
