Preliminary Task-Analysis; By Jack

The preliminary task, in which we created a short sequences, allowed us to see how we could effectively use the camera, for example camera angles, in preparation for our final product.
Several of our shots were slanted, due to improper use of the tripod, also, in several mid-shots, the characters had their heads out of frame. This was due to the size of the room but also due to not having the camera at the right level. 
During the conversation scene, the characters are not positioned in the center of the shots, and the angles were too high. They should be more on face level as to get a better image of the characters emotion.
One of the transitions we used did not really fit in with the theme of the narrative, the 'burning out' transition did not really suit. Simple transitions we used, such as the fade out transition are much more effective and suited especially for opening sequences.

Good evaluation of this task. Hopefully, this will prepare you for your real project now and you will be able to minimise errors.
