Edit workshop Evaluation

In the edit workshop I kept the 180 degreee rule by not crossing/going over the line and I stayed on the same side of the person shoulder to film. There was some parts where I had to cut bits out because there was too much showing on the scene which didn't need to be there. I also tried to make sure I kept the rule of third showing but at times it wasn't possible to show because I accidently cut off some parts of the person body which then ruined the shot at times.

The match on action was most probably the only rule that was done really well, I had to cut away just a few seconds on the clip of the 'door opening and closing' to make sure that it flowed properly so then it was precise.
There were a few challenges that I had to face when we was filming, especially because we had to keep the 180 degree rule and show the shot reverse shot, so at times the clip didn't look right but in the edit workshop I was able to change the shot and make it look much better.

 If I did get the chance to change the film I would most probably change the room that we used so that we could've had much bigger space so then we could've added more into the film and I would also add more close up to show the person emotions on their face.

 During the post production there were some challenges that I had to face, mainly when I was trimming a clip I was getting confused all the time on how to make flow onto the next clip. If I was able to do the editting again I would make the begining shorter because at the moment the begining of the clip drags out.


 Overall the strengths of my work were when I was adding in the fade in and out when editing to cut out some of the scenes that didn't make much sense. The planning (story board) of the film was quite good, we had good ideas down and everything was clear enough for anyone to understand exactly what was going to happen.

The digital technology (editing, video camera)was quite complex to use especially because I only started to use the equipment. The editing equipment was the hardest thing to use out of all the equipment. The overall weaknesses of my work was post production because it was all too much technical things to use and understand for a short time. The overall improvments that I would make to my work is cutting away more scenes so that it is shorter.
