Evaluation Activity 7-By Yharnna Joseph

Looking back at our original Preliminary task , I believe that as a group we have made  Gradual improvement , in terms of our ability to film and edit.
I believe that when comparing our final opeining sequence to our Preliminary task , the main difference that becomes more or less so instantly recognisable is the quality of filming by the camera man ( Louise Jarvis). In our Preliminary task the camera is shakey and at times unbalanced , which creates an unprofessional feel to the footage. The reasoning for the shakey filming was that we used our tripod incorrectly throughout the Preliminary task , however to prevent this in our final opening sequence we ensured that we used our tripod correctly and efficiently.
I also believe that the effect of non-digetic music throughout the course of our final opening sequence had an immense affect on the sequence, for instance if we had composed a non-digetic instrumental for our Preliminary task , it would have been a lot more eye-catching for the audience .

The image to the left displays two screen grabs from our premilminary task and our opening sequence merged together , to display Long shots which are presented throughout both films .A Long shot generally Displays the image as approximately "life" size.
It corresponds to the real distance between the actual audience and the screen itself . These screen shots include the full shot which shows the entire  body of both charcters, with the head near the top of the frame and the feet near the bottom. While the focus is on characters, plenty of background detail still emerges: as the long shot also establishes the scenerey and setting, in both screen shots we can see the corridor and hallways.
However when comparing the two although we show great improvement in our opening sequence , it appears that we used as many shot angles such as shot reverse shot , this is most likely due to the plot of our opening sequence , that there wasn't exactly two charcters contronted directly for example in our premilminary task we used shot reverse shot and the 180 rule to create the effect of a conversational style.
 In our premilminary task there was also plenty echoing throughout the filming , to prevent this we ensured our filming location was completely empty and using more Editing on our Final sequence.
