My feedback for my preliminary task

WWW-What Went Well

My peers said that I used a great range of shots and angles, allowing different movement to be more effective. It also allowed the actors used to show a range of emotion and body language. They also said throughout my clip, I continued to use the 180 degree rule, which enabled my clip to appear more realistic and more fluent. Also, they said that the acting was of a high standard, which also helps my clip to be more realistic. The eyeline and the sound match was significant for my clip as it really helped to present the quality of my work. This also helped my clip to be more fluent, as everything flowed really well, with no clips overlapping, with a good continuous use of the reverse shot.

EBI- Even Better If

For my next task, there were a few improvements needed in order for my next task to be successful. Even though my different angles in my shots were good, I however need to make sure that my camera is steady at all times. Because if my shots are not steady, than the audience are not able to focus on the body language and the emotion portrayed. They also said that my storyline for my task was not very creative, and was pretty bland. If I had used a more exciting storyline, I could of engaged a wider audience.

My Opinion
I think that overall my preliminary task was very successful, as i focused on using as many different camera angles and shots as possible. I felt comfortable when directing, and I believe that I had much improved from previous tasks that I had completed. As I was working on my own, I didn't have anyone to consult when coming up with idea's, but purely had to be confident in what I could acheive. I agree with one of my ebi's that my camera needs to be steady at all times, as this can lead to a video into looking clumsy, and therefore my I could loose precious marks.
