Final Piece Class Evaluation







As a class we, once again evaluated our openings group by group. I am extremely pleased as our teacher has given us an A grade (provisional) because camera work was excellent, editing was generally good and we worked in a good location with good choices regarding mise-en-scene. As a group we circled the classroom leaving 3 significant positive and negative points on an A3 sheet of paper, in full ours were as follows:


+good tilt shot


-last 10 seconds wasent as smooth, in terms of editing


+ good POV shot


+ music was alot better and much more engaging


+ pace of editing with music and narrative worked really well , editing was generally really good.


- narrative was a little slow and not engaging


+ effective tilt


+ smooth transitions (editing)


+ good variety of shots, kept audience engaged


+ good choice of location


- font of titles could of been better


+ steady camera work




In addition to this, the points that could be improved are the last 10 seconds could be improved, narrative was a little slow and un engaging and font titles could have been better. For even more peer assesment i set up a facebook group as it is easy to access and can reach a wide range of people (the target audience) the link is: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/group.php?gid=73724238731&ref=nf

an example of a facebook comment:



Furthermore, as an individual i feel that i have improved greatly within organisation, camera and in some aspects editing. These factors will help me within A2.

final editing and filming


Today and yesterday we finalised our opening, we took into account the pointers that our teacher gave us and improved accordingly. In addition, the editing went well with all of us contributing and picking up flash skills, to make our titles- this overall makes the final piece look more effective and professional.

Now we just need to get a peer evaluation, target audience evaluation (via. facebook) and find out our grades, both as a group and as an individual. Furthermore, we changed our backing track to something more sinister and matched it more to what is happening on screen. I am pleased overall with the work we have created, and hope that the peer/ teacher evaluation goes well.
