Evaluation


Maisie

The skills our group were asked to deomonstrate during the premilary exercise were to demonstrate a good standerd use and evolvement of camera work such as shot reverse shot,holding the camera still while filming when neccersary, using and holding the tripod properly and understanding the meaning of shots and the difference between them.Our group Props such as chairs, that were layed out a certinan way to mimick a police stations interview room, actors and actresses tone of voice when being filmed for example talking on one level with authority,Also a plastic bag was used in this exercise as a evidence bag that was shown to the suspect being interviewed it had a good sense of realism.
I have learnt that technology from the process of constructing our film is that the editing of the excercise can be very difficult to get accurate when cutting parts out of scenes and when experimenting with non-diagetic sound effects our group discussed to add can be difficult consdiering I myself i have never used this type of softwhare before.i have learnt that holiding the camera to get a certian type of camera shot needs alot of effort to get accurate and that editing on the laptop is a long hard proceedure.
The most significant contribution to the construction of the film was that I came up with the idea of a suspect being interviewed in a police station,I myslef wrote the script of the premilary exercise by freestyling and imgaination.I contributed by organising the set of the exercise and getting the appropriate layout so particular camera shots were spot on.The target I would set our group for the main task would be to balance out the camera work so we have all took part in being in control of the camera, to be more focused, being more serious when acting because it will take up less time when editing on the laptop, making sure camera shots are obvious to identify when being watched by us and the audience and to be upto date with all work so we are well prepared for the real thing.

List of coventions for chosen genre- Aminah Sultana

For our genre me, Maise and Kadeem have chosen it to be Romance and Comedy. Maisie is going to play the girl, and Kadeem is goin to play the boy. the girl is getting ready for work and she walks out of her house and is rushing to the bustop. where as the boy is putting on his helmet and getting on his bike to go somewhere. the girl is rushing to get the money out for the bus and spills her money on teh floor. the boys is riding along and sees her trouble and decides to help her. as he helps her pick up the money she tells him to go away and then they look at each other and its love at first sight. when he gives her change, he gets up to walk away and she stares after him, not knowing were she's going, she bumps her head into a lampost. he looks back at her and starts laughing, she laughs with him.

location considered are Maisies houses for when she is getting ready and a bustop for the bustop scene.

Preliminary Excercise Self Evalution- Aminah Sultana

In our preliminary excerse there was me, Maisie and Kadeem.
The skills i demonstrated in the preliminary task was the use of shot, reverse shots in camera angles, zoom in and pan, when i was filming the part in the interview of Maisie. i also participated in acting as the suspect in the interview. the skills i demonstrated in editing was the use of jump cuts, shot reverse shots, also the use of transitions.
The way we used props, dialogue and effects to make our film more creative was that for Maisie she wore smart clothes for her role as the police officer interviewing the suspect (me) and i wore ordinary clothes for my role. The props we used was a glove inside a plastic folder as evidence in the interview because the suspect was being questioned.
The technologies that i learnt was that how to use shot reverse effectively and the transitions during editing.
my contribution was filming whenever Maisie was being filmed (Maisie walking through the door, sitting down and questioning the suspect). i also contributed in the editing of the film and i also was acting as the suspect in the interview.
the target i would set my group for the main task is that we would plan more effectively. make sure that everyone is present at the meetings when we are planning our task and when we are filming ang editing. i would make sure that we plan thhe props and dialogue more carefully and try to get better camera shots.
