Edit Workshop Evaluation

Use of techniques

• 180 Degree Rule
• Rule of Thirds
• Match on Action

In my media work i had to include the 180-degree rule , the 180- degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the relationship between a character and another character being on one side of the camera at all times. An imaginary line is normally drawn showing the camera man where he his able to move without breaking this rule.  For example if there is two people talking , one in a green shirt and the other one is  red shirt. The person in the green shirt should always be on the right and the person in the red should always be on the left. This is so it doesn't confuse the audience.

                                                                    



We also had to include the rule of thirds in my media work , the rule of thirds is when the eyes of all the characters sit on the top horizontal line. The image on demonstrates the rule of thirds.

                                      



match on action was also applied in my media work. Match on action is when something happens in a shot. The scene is cut and there is another shot of the action carrying on. For example if there was a shot of someone kicking the door down , there would be a shot of the person kicking the door , then maybe another shot of the door being pushed open.

 Challenges during production

when filming the production me and my partner had a few problems. First problem was the space. Considering we was filming in a small office we could not film all the shots we wanted to. For example when one of the characters was going to sit down we wanted a panoramic but it was to hard to film because of the space. if we would of planned out the space we needed it would of been a much better shot.

Another challenge of production was making it seem like we filmed it in one go. Because we filmed in three different days we had to change the setting to what it looked like before. This was a challenge because we was using a office that didn't belong to us and it was in use. We had to look back at our shots that we done before and change the setting to what it used to look like. We also had to wear the same clothes , this become a problem when one of us would forget to bring the right Hood or trousers. This meant we had to delay the filming and wait until we had the right clothing.

Also the main problem during the production was the acting. Me and my partner both played parts in our own production. We both wasn't very strong actors, and this could be shown in some of our scenes. it also delayed us a lot because we couldn't make the shot seems realistic enough. Also because we was mates , we hadn't seen each other act before and when we saw each other out of our comfort zone we would laugh a lot which would consume are filming time.

Challenges during post-production

One of the main problems i had during the editing process  was the speed of the film. some parts of the film was very fast and had a lot of things happening at once , however some parts where very slow and boring. As a result i cut down some of the parts and put them in separably making one speed flow throughout the film.

Strengths 

One of the strengths was the comedy of the production. when others saw the final piece they would laugh when necessary. This comedy aspect was purposely put into the film to give it our own input.

Also the friendship i had with my partner made is easy to get along with. when ever i had a problem i could easily ask my partner for help and he could do the same. We both had the same idea and we could easily communicate after school and in school. We both had good creative ideas , which helped us plan easier. We also both wanted to succeed in this project so we done our very best.

Weakness

We didn't have a lot of weakness , the the main one was the clothing, because we didn't shoot everything at the same time we needed to wear the same clothes. This was hard because clothes can get dirty and not be wearable for the next day. This delayed some filming time.
