Preliminary ERRORS of the making of the video.

• Script mistakes- Actors remembered abit but not all of it.
• Camera shots were missed such as the Big Close (BCU).
• During the making of the video people were in the background so we had to wait abit, so then we had little time to film.
• Actors lauging/ Camera Crew aswell and background noise.
• NOT all props were with us i.e. the sun glasses.
• Pronunciation of the words in the script.
• Some parts of the video were blurry and not in focus.

Q's and Ans

Did you observe the 180-Degree rule?

Yes

Can you explain the 180-degree rule?

The 180 degree rule is if there are two people having a conversation the cameraman will stay on one side of them and no switch sides so the audience doesn’t get confused

Q and A

Does your film use continuity editing so that the sequence of events are clear and easily understood by the viewer?

Our video is edited to make it as clear as possible for the viewer; we used shot/ reverse shot to help with this. We also have a narrative speech at the end of the video

Have you followed the directions in the brief? (A character opens a door, crosses a room and sits down in a chair opposite another character. An exchange of dialogue occurs.)

We have followed all our briefing directions from the script we created; we also tweaked it a bit when filming for a better look. Our two main characters exchange dialogue in a corridor before one character enters a room.

Have you used match-on-action?

In our video we see one man open a door entering a room; the next shot sees him walking into the room and up to a computer screen.

Can you explain what match-on-action involves?

Match-on-action involves switching between camera shots in a video scene; this can be done when an action sequence occurs or when a person moves into another room/scene. It also means when one shot sees something occurring and the next shot sees the effect of the last scene- for example somebody throws a ball the next shot shows a person catching the ball.

Have you used shot/reverse shot?

We used shot/reverse shot when our two main characters are speaking to each other, to do this we filmed the same scene twice from different angles to be edited into one scene.

Can you explain what shot/reverse shot involves?

Shot/reverse shot involves the same scene but switches between different angles, such as when two people are speaking. Every time a person speaks the camera focuses on them, it will then switch to the other person as they begin to speak.
