Our preliminary task was to film and edit a short scene involving match on action and dialogue, whilst following the 180 degree rule. Overall, as a group we are pleased with our first attempt however there are a few aspects we need to work on for our final opening two minutes. In order to follow continuity, Eve’s hair needed to stay the same the whole way through,it started with all of it behind her but does not finish in this way. Although it is not that noticeable, it is something we will keep in mind as it breaks the continuity and makes it seem less realistic. Another focus point would be the angle in which we film from. Although the close up shot on the door handle is effective, it jumps slightly from the previous shot, making it less realistic. Looking back, we have realised if we moved lighting to the left, creating a wider angle it would have looked more effective and made more sense as you would have been able to follow what was happening. Again, this is not a major issue as it was still clear what was happening, however to improve it is something we need to look at. Lighting was not something we gave much attention as we didn't have much time, however it worked in our favour as well as against us. The lighting coming in from the side of the blind works effectively as it moves across Eve’s face when she goes to sit down, making it look sophisticated, however once she has sat down, this is not the case. The block of lighting across Eve’s body puts her face in the shadow and her body is the dark which confuses the audience as it has no purpose. The shadow on the floor behind works effectively in setting the scene, however lighting is a main issue we need to focus on and learn more about as it can successfully help us gain certain settings and evoke emotion if used properly. The final point we need to work on was the Mise-en-scene. Although Charlotte was supposed to be a person of authority, her swinging on the chair suggested a childlike manner taking away from the sense of authority the dialogue suggests, however again this is not a main concern just something to take note of.
