Preliminary Exercise

This is the preliminary exercise I completed with James and Christina. My main role within the group was to help with ideas and editing, and to appear in the sequence as the interwiewer.
I believe that we achieved a very huge level of quality on our preliminary exercise.
This is because the camerawork and the shots that we used were consistent throughout and each of these shots was correctly, and steadily framed. we followed the 180 degree and eye line match. However there are some aspects that we would change in our exercise,like in some of our shots there was too much blank space above the subjects, and we might have benefited from having a few more shots, to make the sequence longer.
The editing was also done to a good level, we used successful match on action, when James walked through the door,and a small amount of shot reverse shot. The pace of the sequence ok, however at points there are slight hesitations where we could have cut later.
The mise en scene worked very well in our favour, as the room we were using looked like an interview room, so the background is very appropriate.
Our team worked well together and as we all contributed to all aqspects, including directing, editing and initial ideas.
