Evaluation of the Preliminary Exercise

Myself, Dan Greenall and Billy Turner worked together really well to create a good final cut of the 30 second film. In the exercise we were practising key skills such as Hollywood editing, shot reverse shot, countdown to filming, hyperrealism, rule of thirds and match on match action. These skills were very important practise because it makes our final cut look more pleasant and professional to watch.
Overall the camerawork was good quality, we managed to get some good shots to put together to practise hyperrealism. This is where I walk through the door and into the room , we tried our hardest to make sure the editing was down to a tee so that the shots flowed we did this by editing in the door slamming onto the next shot just to give it a more professional finish. This also exercised our skill for match on action and this is important as we might need these skills for when we come to doing our film opening. I would say our current at an intermediate level of production skill, this is because although some of our shots were good there were a couple of shots where we broke the rule of 180 degree rule, which means you are not allowed to film over the 180 degree line, however even though we didn't apply this rule it wasn't very noticeable when we edited it.
 
When we filmed our shots we went from a noisy corridor to a very quiet classroom which meant the levels of noise differed and this showed in our final cut and was quite noticeable so if we were to film our shots again this is definitely something I would change.
We originally planned our shots to fit into a thirty seconds which was the required time for the exercise however as we took our shots with a countdown so that we didn't miss any part of the filming we ran over the thirty seconds but we sorted this out in the editing by cutting out what we didn't need.
