Preliminary Film Evaluation


For out preliminary film we were set the task of producing a short film with the following requirements:
  • Someone entering a room through a door showing continuity
  • Someone sitting down
  • A conversation taking place

For this me and Ross decided to use the idea of a poker game. We made a storyboard planning out the shots we were going to use and then developed these and improved them.


Here is the final storyboard showing the rough position of the actors/camera and describing the type of shots used.










Our film follows the guidelines set but was made into a longer scene that could be built upon for our film opening coursework. It uses many camera angles and shots such as a very high shot to imitate a CCTV camera and a rotating pan shot as well as over the shoulder shots and close ups. The main success of the film was that we included lots of different camera angles and shots and tried to be creative in the shots we used. One failing is perhaps some of the shots didn't work as well as they could have due to continuity with the lighting ect. but we couldn't re-film them because of the time limitations. The continuity in the lighting wasn't so successful because of the light in the room and how it was too dark for some of the shots so we had to change the lighting however some shots show good continuity, for example when Tim enters/leaves the room. When filming I need to work on using lighting. Also when editing I could work on using more sound effects or experiment with music. Having created a magazine cover and a film i feel more confident with a film because i think this was more successful and allows me to be more creative with my coursework.
