The Evaluation
After we had filmed the exchange, we had the chance to edit them, in the editing suite at college to then show the class the following 2 weeks ahead.
From the class being able to watch our video, they participated in our audience feedback, mentioning the pros and cons of our video.
As i had previously mentioned we originally had an idea when Jon first announced the exchange, we filmed it in about half an hour, only too look back on it and realise how terrible it was. We did not have the right costumes or makeup, and not even the right location as it was already in use, we could have avoided this by having a better plan, by planning ahead Ending up in our group re shooting for our new exchange piece.
When the video was shown too the class there was no immediate positive or negative feedback.
From the begininng of the video we were complimented at the shot of Charlie and Jess near the beggininng, in which they are both in the shot, a close up of both thier heads. We were able to portray the feeling of eerie-ness, and as we were also able to get the sky in you could tell the atmosphere was rather gloomy.
Costume- Again, we weren't very well prepared, Jess' costume did compliemnt the whole enigma of the 'Femme Fetale' her long black trench coat, and heels, also her long hair helped with the persona of her character.
No one mentioned Charlies costume, but we felt that we had achieve making her look like the terrified adolecent.
Location- Our location was mentioned, as a good place for filming The Exchange. As no one else had done it near the docks, most had forgot what atmosphere we were able to create, long pathways and a large open view of the sky along with the water gave us the right scenery for which we wanted to create for the typical film noir look.
Music- As we had filmed our piece again, we forgot about getting a music track for our piece. As we Jon to look through it again, to check it, he was able to add a piece of music.
Although much of the audience didn't think it was suitable for the piece, it was described as sci-fi and as if aliens were about to land.
Cinematography- Our very first scene in my opinion was one of the best, as the camera panned as charlie turned to the right, the wind at the docks was just what we needed, it gave the audience a sense of how cold it was, windy contributing to the atmosphere. Most of our shots went down fairly well, although it was mentioned how there was dead space in ours, meaning we hadn't used up all of what was in the shot, a space in which nothing was happening.
In our piece we came to the conclusion that we needed more footage, this was pointed out as Charlie one minute was one place standing up, and the next she was sitting on a bench. There was no shot to show her going towards the bench. Also she had a note which was pristine in one shot, and the next it was obvious something had happened to the note as it had been scrunched up, this was an accident but we should have realised and done the shot again.
Overall our piece wasn't critizised to a point in which we thought was terrible, everyone had faults and it was just a chance to improve on our next piece of filming.
