Practice Practical Assesment

For our filming practice assessment we were asked to film a short 2 minute piece snippet to the opening of a scene. The criteria specified that we had to show a character entering the room and 2 lines of dialogue between 2 people.
I think my group managed to fulfil most of this, however there were several weakness’ that needed to be improved on. The majority of other groups noticed the same problems in our piece such as the lack of shot reverse shot, which should have been included in our conversation section and therefore we needed to go back and re-do.
However there were also many strengths such as framing a shot, editing and transitions. This was because we framed the feet walking towards the interview room, which was the main feature of our piece. Transitions were used a lot to get from one setting to another e.g. from outside down the lane to entering into the extension block we used a fade out and fade in effect.
This analysis of our practical piece and what other groups thought of it helped me to see what went well and what areas we really needed to improve on. This assessment has been very good practice for my real piece and I now know that I need to follow the criteria very carefully and make sure I am doing what it is asking to gain the best grade that I can get.
