Preliminary Exercise Evaluation

The purpose of the preliminary exercise was to practice taking shots, editing and operating sound equipment, we were to use the experience gained in this exercise to streangthen our quality of other assignments. Overall the sequences were relatively smooth and the action was easy to follow, there was good continuality and the sound was clear. A few things needed to be improved though, the establishing shots of actors walking down the corridor were too long and drawn out, I should have kept action in the grid as there was too much space above actor’s heads and bodies sometimes and it could have done with a greater variety of shot angles and sizes also a few small background noises were not edited out.
