Evaluation – The Package

Evaluation – The Package

I am quite happy with the outcome of this short video however, there are definitely things that could be improved if our group were to re-shoot it. For example, there are slight continuity errors with some clothing and accessories. This was mainly because we were filming over two different days and so therefore some clothing might have been unavailable.  Also a few props were missing in some of the shoots, this includes a water bottle and some keys. Although having said that it is not very noticeable when watching the video.

One of the main continuity errors in my opinion would be the changes to lighting throughout filming in different locations. We did manage to edit a few of these scenes to make the contrast and lighting more consistent. Looking back at the editing choices we made with the lighting, I think using black and white would’ve been better, especially with the music choice as well. I feel like it would have suited the overall atmosphere better.

Even though these aspects could have been improved I am really proud of the video we created. We used a good range of camera angles and techniques which were fun to shoot. It was a little difficult at times to know where to place the camera for the best shot possible, but we came up with interesting ways to get around those issues. Although there were a few continuity errors, over all I think we done quite well when trying to keep things the same considering we had to shoot over two separate days. We also used our editing skills to cover up some minor issues on the POV shots by adding in blinks, which actually went well with the scene.

I think in this task we used our creativity and imagination well as we decided to have an ‘imaginary’ box. This was to give the viewer more of a connection when watching it as they could imagine it to be something personal/ close to them. Even though we didn’t know what the package was we can definitely understand the feelings that were being portrayed by the music and camera movements.
