I liked the way a variety of shot types and angles were used, such as the close-ups and high angle shots. These were done well to show the expressions on the actor's faces, even though the acting was not as emotive as it could, and should have been. Dave could have shown more signs of panic and worry over being unable to find Craig.
I liked the cinematography aspect of film-making, however I feel it is an area in which I am less able than the rest of my class, and the person I am to work with will probably be better at organising and directing the shot types and camera angles, so I hope to assign them that task.
Editing:
I liked the cut away shots for continuity as they looked effective, as well as the transitions to black, though there were far too many of the transitions and I do not intend to use as many in the project I am to create. The scrolling credits used were effective and looked good to finalise the product created.
I enjoy the editing process of film-making and I feel I am good at finalising a product and making the decisions as to what should be included and removed and I feel I would be good at making a film look smooth and flowing after the production of it has been finalised, so I hope to have this task when creating my own film.
Mise-En-Scene:
The mise-en-scene was very amateur looking and it was very clear that the shots were only filmed in and around college as well as the clothing of Dave and Craig being incredibly different to each other, which makes them seem less close as friends than they are designed to be. This could have a knock-on effect on the narrative and make an audience less responsive to a film, so I will make sure this mistake isn't made in the future.
Mise-En-Scene is my least favourite topic area of Film-Making and I am not very good at finding props, locations or clothing especially which fits with the ideas I have, so I will hope to assign my partner with this task as I expect they will have clearer ideas and so we will both end up with a far better final product because of this.
Sound:
The sound is very clear in parts, however there are lots of extra sounds and background noise, some was added pointlessly and serves no purpose, and some of this was also unintentional but left in the clip anyway, such as when Dave is on the computer there is a lot of noise from the people who were in the room when those shots were being filmed.
I really like the sound aspect of production and I feel that even though in this chase task the sound is of a poor quality, I can create a far better overall product with the sound of a high, clear quality.
