Evaluation Part 8

In this part of my evaluation, I will be looking back at my preliminary task, The Encounter and discussing how i have progressed from doing that to my final product. I feel as though, from the start of Media A level when we did the encounter, my knowledge was basic but i feel as though, back when we did that task, our creativity to make it was succesful as we used the correct shots at the right times and the shots were filmed well. Also our editing skills when we were doing this were basic, but were were still able to put match on action in there but when i look back from when we used match on action in our final production, it is easily visible to see a huge difference in the flow and consistency of the match on action and you can see how the skill has improved a lot. Also our preliminary task wasn't very original whereas in our final production, we kept to the brief but made sure our narrative was original and unique. In our preliminary task, we made sure that we didnt use pointless transitions and made sure it had a good flow and i think that was a success as we had that mind set from then and in our final production, i kept that in mind when we were editing and as our project was a BSR, we had to make sure it was as real to life as possible so using transitions wouldn't have done this and wouldve ruined our production. One thing that we didnt do there that was a good improvement this time round was we didn't change the speed of the production then but it didnt really make a differennce but we couldv'e used it and made it faster so that it creates more tension on the stare off scene. In our current project, speeding up some scenes woould create a more tenser atmosphere and for this genre, to show the grittiness hard lifestyle, this was an essential to the BSR genre.
In our preliminary task, we tried to do match on action with Kieran walking through the door to the canteen at  00:10 and after looking back over it i can see a real difference with our match on action used in our "CLASS A" production, where at 1:23, we used a match on action with money being thrown on the table and it flows a lot better and it goes well and it is easily visible to see the comparison of how jumpy our preliminary exercise match on action was to our "CLASS A".

This is from our preliminary exercise at 00:10 where we do the match on action but it doesn't seem to flow well.

This is from our final production at 1:23 where we do the match on action and it flows better and looks a lot cleaner.

If i was to improve this next year, i would like to try working more on match on action to make it flow better with a range of different shots and not just for a film production, but i would like to try it in the music video we are making next year as i would've had a better knowledge on match on action and i would have clearer ideas on where to use it effectively.



Here below is my Preliminary task, The Encounter.
