Edit Workshop Evaluation

After planning and story boarding our scenario we started filming. When filming we had to ensure and take precaution that we included the relevant shot types and rules which was a Shot/reverse shot, a match on action shot, the use of the 180-degree rule and the principle of the rule of thirds.


We made sure we included a match on action shot. The way we displayed this is when Ms Howard (The pregnant woman) is about to sit down and when she is entering and leaving the appoint. In the example displayed the first shot is a long shot of Ms Howard about to sit down and the next shot is of her actually sitting down. This makes the shots more fluid and allows the viewer to see the shot from a different angle.


We also made sure we kept to the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds makes the shot more professional and presentable. We used this rule throughout all of our shots.

 
We kept to the 180 Degree rule. It was important that we kept to this rule otherwise it would cause confusion and disfigurement of the fluid shots. The 180 degree rule is a good way to make shots more fluid. We used this principle throughout the short movie in all shots that were relevant to the rule.



During filming we did come across some problems but we kept level headed and resolved them. Some problems I came across were: The acting from our characters were poor at times so we had to re shoot a number of shots many times. Another problem was finding a setting to film our appointment scene. This was soon resolved but took some time that we could of used to shoot our short film.

 If I was to film again I may of made the shots and situations in the story more simple so we could have had less problems on the way. However I was pretty pleased with my outcome so I would not really change a lot.
