Preliminary Evaluation

 

Preliminary Evaluation

For our narrative of our preliminary evaluation, we decided to use two people talking about a girl they had just kidnapped. We used the setting of a car park near our school, and we used the far end of the car park as its surrounded by trees, and its isolated, giving it a creepy feel. Instead of using a room for the character totalk in we used a car, as we felt it gave a the right feeling for our storyline, as its about a gangster gettimg shot then dumped at the end, which a kidnapped woman in the boot.

We made a shot list to help our filming session go smoothly and it helped us stick to the script. Our filming seeming went great and we got all the shots we wanted, however we did have to change the script a bit, as the actors changed their lines a little bit to suit the character they were playing.

I was pleased with our match on action aspect used in our film, when our kidnapper is walking to the car door - while filming outside, then we see him get in the car - from filming inside. I was pleased with our use of the shot/reverse shot, which we used alto when our character were talking, and the 180 degree rule used to follow our kidnapper round the car.

The things i have learnt from pur preliminary task is that we needed to keep to the shot list, as we did multiple shot of the same thing, which was annoying as we could obviouly one. I also realized you must make the actors do exactly the same thing each time or else you don't get good continuity.
