Evaluation

In the preliminary task, me and my group (me, Leon, Elijah and Gottfried) created a scene where there was a boy who's at school. This boy is very hungry and keeps asking for food, but no one wants to give him any. Can this day get any worse? He soon discovers the answer to this when he finds out one of his friend is talking to his sister!

Match on action
For our match on we used a clever idea where Gottfried (the hungry boy) was staring at his watch waiting for lunch time, and then the watch turned into an Oreo which his friend was eating. We thought this was useful as it resembles how he's hungry and things seem to turn to food the more and more he thinks about it.

Eyeline Match
For our eye-line match we had Gottfried looking at his watch and then we cut it to a birds eye view of his watch.

Shot reverse shot
The closest we came to doing a shot reverse shot was over the shoulder, when Gottfried was asking me for the an Oreo.

180 degree shot
In our task we 'forgot' about the 180 degree rule and as you can see we switched sides accidentally


Personally I think out of the three our 'match on action' was very accurate because we got the right same size and shape looking objects and it was relevant to the plot of the story.

Our 'Eye line match' I also thought was pretty accurate but could have been improved it by cut back to Gottfried's face.

Next our 'Shot reverse shot' was weakly accurate could have been significantly improved by have the characters looking at each other off screen, to have a better effect of 'Shot reverse shot'.

As I said our 180 degree shot was very inaccurate as we switched side so next time we need to remember the rule when we are filming.

The most positive elements of our preliminary task was our 'match on action' and 'eye line match' and we should improve our 'shot reverse shot' and '180 degree shot'.
