Remake of Pendant

The shooting of this video went very well, although we came across some problems with the lighting and the bench that we initially planned to film at, had been removed the previous day. Unfortunately, we only caught 26 seconds of usable footage after editing. A few of the shot's wobbled a little, due to poor handwork of the cameraman. Also a few members of the public ruined our shots. We found it a little frustrating that the sun was emerging and retreating throughout the filming process.

Continuity: The continuity in the video was overall very good, however, when the pendant was thrown into the water, the actor used her right hand, indicating it would come in from the right, but the pendant came into the shot from he left. Also, the sunlight changed the scenery a few times in the video.

Composition: The composition was very accurate to the original, although the setting wasn't the same as the original. The camera angles were near to the original but a few of the shots were at a different angle.

Continuity Exercise 2

We remade the continuity exercise, as we thought that the last one was lacking.

Composition Exercise

I think that this exercise went well, although, the camera shook at points.
There is a specific shot where the actor is in the middle, to make him seem more isolated which breaks the rule of thirds. In a few shots the camera wasn't in focus. this is an accidental effect caused by the screen resolution on the camera. At one point the camera jumps from one place to another.

Mel: You have really good framing on some shots, but we need a frame for the point of view, and there are some ad cut offs. When the actor is looking up, have them looking around. More cut away to emphasise the POV. Need to establish POV. Shot/reverse shot!
