Preliminary Video

This our premlinary video consisted of lauren powell (actor) , Ryan Rheeston (actor) and Me Craig Fallows (Camera man and editor) .

This is our Preliminary video, within the video are camera techniques such as shots and angles, we had followed the 180 degree rule and also included over the shoulder shots, all of these techniques we have learnt in AS media lessons which proved effective in our preliminary video. We had recorded the preliminary video with a classroom in the school where we had used chairs and tables, we had set out the table and chairs the way we wanted so we could first practised each shot and the movement of the camera so that we had good footage to edit so we didn't have to go back and do it again. I think that the video overall was a good job we had done as a group as we had used the knowledge we learnt in lessons which was the camera angle & shots, over the shoulder shot and also the 180 degree rule.  With the video techniques being used in our video I felt that the camera movements and angles was a good aspect as when you watch the video their is no shots where it disorientate the viewer, another good aspect was the camera zooming in on props as I think this was important for the viewers to know what the object is so the choice of zooming in on objects was another good aspect of our video.Within our video we had used props, one of them was a briefcase, without this I think that the video would of been very plain and dull without that props and also the viewer watching might have lost interest if we didn't have props.


Their are a lot of things we could of improved on such as people in the background talking in which I think as a group we could have stopped that from happening. The dialogue or storyline was very hard to make out and also follow what was going on in which I think it could confuse the audience as from the noise in the background it's very hard to follow. Another improvement was the props we had made, the prop was a piece of paper which was a contract but as you could see it was just scribbled pattern to make out it was writing, we could of improved this by making a contract on a computer but with the time given we would not of had enough time to film the video. Within the video could of been more talking, more dialogue to give the storyline more structure.
