The Evaluation

I used the 180 degree rule when i was recording Connor and Zahir, I imagined there was a circle but with a line directly through it, this made me stick to one side of the circle, using this stops the audience from getting confused

I always used the rule of thirds because this rule should never be broken, how I maintained this was easy, all i did was keep the person i was recording their eyes a third of the way down doing this allows all the focus on the person you are trying to record.

I used match on action when Connor was opening the door, we did this by recording him opening the door fully on one side then recording him doing it again but on the other side of the door, when showing it from different sides of the door and making the door open smoothly in both scenes this allows the scene to look like it has two cameras but there isn't actually two its just how smoothly the scene runs

The challenges I had when filming was when we began to film the tripod we had got given would not stand up straight so we had to record our film in a certain way but  we had overcome that as it wasn't actually that bad where we couldn't record, but in the future we will get tripod that will stand up straight so we can record perfect.

Our main challenge during post production was because of personal reasons, my team didn't come in with their storyboards so in order to move on we had to redo our whole storyboards when we could have been recording, so when we done all our storyboards we really had one day to record our film so we felt rushed but in the future we will give the storyboards to someone who is more responsible and will come in no matter what.

My overall strength when recording was i had a good strength of planning what we would have to be doing during our film and i was able to tell my crew what they had to do when recording to make our film look much more better, also when recording i had good camera work of using all the shots that we needed too, i am also someone who likes to continue doing things until they are perfect and as an outcome of that our film looked really good.

Overall weaknesses was when we began to get into the dialogue of our film my crew would speak fast and hesitate, from this I believe they are camera shy so when filming you could see this in the end product where they couldn't act normal and they began to make their body all stiff and this really made the film not look as good as it should have done.

For improvements if i had the same crew i would try to make them feel as natural as possible so our film looks as realistic as possible as no one wants to see people looking forced to do something they can't do, also i will continue to take the job as the responsible one as I haven't missed one day of school yet where as my crew have missed a few lessons each.
