GROUP: Preliminary Task - Final Cut

This is the final cut for our preliminary task. We believe that although relatively safe, this film adheres to the conventions of basic filmmaking, and conveys the story in a way that keeps the audience interested and entertained

 

 

 

 

Strengths

• Cutting on action and continuity. The story was clear and easy to follow
• Adherence to the 180 degree rule prevented the audience from becoming disorientated
• Soundtrack used reflected the action

Weaknesses

• Sound continuity often left some shots too quiet or too loud. Some speech was lost
• Shots were relatively safe, no adventurous techniques
• Story was plain and slightly generic

Targets

• Explore new shot techniques and lengths, avoid using the tripod or stedicam shots
• Work on equalising diegetic and non-diegetic sound
• Create an interesting storyline to attract the audience
