Reflection on Preliminary Opening Sequence

After finalising and seeing how my preliminary video turned out, I was pleased with the outcome; however, if I were to do it again I would make many improvements.

I believe that the camera angles worked very well, there is a lot of variety and is non-repetitive. Here are some screen grabs of the footage showing the different camera angles we used.

 These images are taken from when the Interviewer is entering the interviewing room, we used several angles to set the scene as fast paced, there are fast paced edited jump cuts between each image showing a 360 degree view.

Once the Interviewer is seated several over the shoulder shots are used to denote power towards Michael Garrett. in addition we used side on views to connote and emphasise that Michael is uninterested.

 I believe that the scene flows well and the editing is at a good standard. I think that the retrospective flashback scenes work really well, the black and white connotes that it is a blurred memory.

Even better if:

However, if I were to recreate this task I would pay more close attention to the aspects in which we are missing. The video is missing credits, a title and also a production logo; as I have only just learned how to create this. Also, I would like to have payed more attention to the costume and make-up as it wasn't really thought through and doesn't reflect the characters and their personalities (e.g. I would have dressed the Interviewer in something more conservative and sophisticated). As for the props, I would have used more relevant props to the scene for example I should have found a voice recorder to use instead of an iPhone, I will practice more with filters and learning how to do more advanced editing.
