JS: Evaluating Preliminary Task

Strengths: In our first filming piece we have completed, we have successfully integrated a variety of shots, as we have all become more confident when filming. We believe that we have successfully created tension in this task, while also concisely revealing the plot.

Weaknesses: Our editing could have been finer, while a few shots disrupted the flow of continuity. Over a period of time and with more practice/ experience, we believe that we can improve our editing skills for our final piece.

Targets for improvement: We would like to use after-effects when editing for our final piece, which will help significant shots stand out. Furthermore, we will aim to have a faster cutting rate for our final piece, because this is a convention of a thriller film. In additon, we will try to find actors who would be willing to play roles in our final piece, because with better actors, there will be an increased realism/believability to our work. In conclusion, this has been a valuable learning experience that will enable us to improve for our thriller opening.
