What
Went Well:
Camera Shots:
✧ When
it came to figuring out the angles for the cuts, each member of the team were
good at contributing and explaining why the shot would be effective if it
were
e.g. a closeup - to intensify the camera shot and reveal more detail of the character; and many other variety of shots to dramatise our comedic theme.
✧ Keeping within the 180 degree rule, shot/reverse shot and the 3 second rule, we were able to effectively edit our footage and make the finished product look appealing.
Close-Up Shot:
✧ We used close-ups to
concentrate on the hand opening the door to the interrogation room- showing
very little background to gain the audience's attention and dramatise the
effect of the bad cop entering the room.
Low Angle:
✧ We focused on using
this angle more often when the 'bad cop' was moving through the corridors to
make the audience feel inferior and give power to the character; preparing the
viewers to expect a dangerous personality.
The camera uses
tilts vertically as the character approaches to follow and magnify the height.
Composition:
✧ Planning
the short opening scene was also something I enjoyed and worked well with, as
each team member shared the types of movements to make in our Storyboard (see
below).
✧ Making decisions was also very
effective as everyone was contributing and compromising within reason, such as
the movement of our characters and the camera.
✧ Forming
a script was also fairly easy, as the prop of the cash, alongside the scene of
a ‘Police Interrogation’ was a good combination. Location was also effective- a
classroom- as we were able to use lighting to our advantage and create a more
intense setting with our props.
Editing/Sound:
✧ Mise-en-scene: We've added lighting to dramatise and set focus on
our character (convicted- similarly to an 'Interrogation' scene in
reality/TV.
To
Improve:
✧ We should’ve used the equipment for the camera, as
a lot of our footage didn’t come out stable- even though it does add effect of
a dramatic exchange between the actors, it would’ve helped to set a
professional scene for when we introduce the clock at the beginning.
Changes For The Future:
✧ We
would definitely use more equipment and work better in communicating the need
of using the tripod more often, as the unsteadiness of the camera ruined the
professionalism of our product.
✧ Also,
managing time well with adding more detail to our cuts would evade the problem
of rushing our editing with sound and add more details and props to portray our
characters better.
Editing was a struggle at the beginning:
✧ When it came to cutting and choosing
where to place each cut-scene, we struggled to come to terms . But eventually,
we got the hang of it; so to improve, I’d practice using the software to get
learn more advanced techniques.
The
Completed Film:
✧ The
seamless transitions between cuts worked well in exaggerating the personality
of the “angry officer”.
✧ Also
the music worked well in emphasising the mood and intensity of each scene-
we’ve exaggerated each scene to fit in with our choosing of a more
Comedic-genre.

Storyboard
Importance:
✧ They’re
important for the planning of angles and key details which may be missed if I
were to improvise.
✧ They
help with the structure and sequencing of the film too and so it’s organised
and helps build a bigger picture in everyone’s mind.
