Evaluation of editing

1) How did you use the 180 degree rule, rule of thirds & match on action?

I used the 180 degree rule when Sunita and Bikram were having a conversation in the basement. When I done the shot reverse shot I made sure that I did not change the shot angle such as when I was recording their conversation I kept it on the same angle so I did not break the 180 degree rule.

These screen shots show that I did not break the 180 degree rule, when Bikram walked in (left) I made sure following up from when he walked in that the conversation was still within the same 180 degree I used as Bikram walked in.

2) What challenges did you face during production? What would you change if you were to film again?

I didn't get to change alot however if I had the chance to flim again I would film the converstation again because the voices are not clear. I would also film the setting again because there is a point where the lightning does not match when Bikram walks in so I would record that again to get the lighting the same.

One of the challenges I faced was; when I filmed the atmosphere because I done the shots from two different angles the lighting came out different. You can see from th screen shots at the right.

3) What challenges did you face during post-production? What would you change if you were to edit again?

If I could edit again I would edit when Sunita is miming my voice over because it is clear you can tell she is not talking so I would have suspended it until she turned her head then you can hear the screams. I would also change the editing of the walking because it does not look like it flows.

 3) What are the overall strengths of your work? Why? – creativity, planning and research, digital technology, post production.

One of the strengths is the whole idea of the kidnapping which aloud me to do different angle shots and helped me be creative with the camera. The planning was one of the main strengths because I knew what I wanted to achieve before filming which made the filming quick and simple. 

4) What are the overall weaknesses of your work? Why? - creativity, planning and research, digital technology, post production.

The weaknesses of my work would be the lighting problems, some scenes do not match each other and also the flow of the walking from scene to scene does not flow. The walking should have been filmed without a pause because the feet don't match.

5) What overall improvements would you make to your work? Why?

The overall improvements I would make to my work is I would have filmed before you see Bikram opening the boot so that the audience understands the story more easiler.
