Our brief was to film some sort of an accident. Our group did a girl tripping over onto a boy and the two having a romantic connection.
What went well:
♛ Our group had a good establishing shot which gave the audience a sense of space. It also gives them certain expectations of the 'film' after seeing where it is set (high school drama) and seeing the actress walk out raises questions in their heads as to why she seems to be in a hurry and where she had just come from.
♛ The pan in the second shot worked quite well as it was like the audience was following the girl on her journey. It was neat and allowed the audience to know what direction she was going to and where to focus.
♛ The third shot, where she trips, we did a close up and tilt of object she tripped over. Using the tilt made it seem disorientated and almost uncomfortable which gave us an idea of the upcoming danger.
♛ I think shot four was good as it showed the reaction from the actor so the audience could work out his feelings towards the actress. It acted as a reaction shot.
♛ Overall I believe we had a good concept for our very short film.
What didn't go so well:
♛ The fourth shot didn't have a match on action so it also didn't coincide with the rest of our clip.
♛ Between shot one and two there is a jump cut as we see the actress walking in the first shot then the second shot starts with her standing still and then walking so there is an error with continuity there.
♛ Between the fourth and five shot, we broke the 30 degree rule which again caused a jump cup thus breaking continuity.
♛ The last shot didn't flow well with the rest of the shots so it didn't make sense to the audience what was actually happening. There was a lot of static in the frame too.
