Matt's Evaluation

Evaluation of Preliminary Matt Coghlan

I believe our preliminary was a great success, the only problem was a slight continuity error in where our actor is shown opening a door the walking through from the other side, although the doors do not match up. Although this is not very noticeable and doesn’t hinder the film’s effect.

We felt it was very important to use a range of camera shots to keep the audience engaged and excited.  When editing we also varied the order of the camera shots so we could avoid having to of the same shots in a row. We also only used straight cuts this could be seen as a negative thing although we felt it was necessary to keep the pace of the film.

To avoid continuity problems in the actors clothing, we choose to film all the scenes in one day, this made great continuity.  For our next project, the thriller opening I think we could improve by using different types of cuts, and using artificial lighting to create a mood.
