Hello all, sorry for the wait, here it is:
Firstly from a personal point of view, i enjoyed making this video more than the first one, i feel also that i am developing my camera skills more and more- despite the continuety project not showing this greatly.
1. Video Length. Having been a part of fellow students projects, i realise that the entire project- but mainly the dialogue- was not done in enough detail. That is mainly down to myself, not planning in greater depth- this lack of attention to detail will not happen again.
2. Lack of action match. This occurred because of the set which i had chosen to use (the lack of a door to open + having no table to sit around, created a lack of scenarios where an obvious example of action match could take place). I tried to show a vague example- with the close up of the briefcase, to show that it had remained in the same hand as in the previous shot, but previous shot was not clear enough- so this idea did not work very well).
3.The movie additional time error. The video is shown to run on for another 2-3 mins on my blog, i am very confused to why this happened. I will definitely look into it, quizzing my media teacher if i get the opportunity.
4. The sloppy p.o.v shot. Very sorry about this. I re-did it at least 4 times, all of which looked the same. Next time i will either try to avoid shooting that shot down a staircase, or i will create/buy some equipment helping the p.o.v shot run more smootly down the staircase.
Key thing to remember is that the more slick your work is, the better your final mark will be. This requires detailed planning and preparation; you can't just wing it. Over Christmas, you will need to spend a good length of time on planning, storyboarding and scripting your work as well as getting your shoot organised; you will need to use your time wisely as you have a very tight shooting window. The stoyboarding will help you solve issues of continutiy, while the time issue is to do with what is called the "work area"; I can show you how to deal with this next time you use Premiere. In terms of shots, you should aim to do as many as it takes until you get a satisfactory outcome; with complex shots, you may need to do some research (for example, to achieve the kind of shot you wanted might have involved rigging a simple stedicam).
