Preliminary Sequence

In this post I will be analysing and evaluating my Preliminary Sequence, Feed the Fish. This task was set as a group, which consisted of Inoshan, Tina, Fahad and Iveta.

As a group we decided that we liked our establishing shot as it set the scene very well, the timing which we had was very good as we can see the character (Iveta) walking into the building as the camera pans. However, the camera seems to jump around a lot and isn't very steady for the first 6 seconds of the sequence. We felt that the first cut was perfectly timed as the character opens the door, and the screen then cuts into the character entering the room as the door opens. We felt that if we placed the camera low and at an angle it would show an importance to the character as the audience will have to look up at the character. The scene then cuts into the character walking up the stairs and the camera tracks the character as she climbs the stair case.

On the other hand our peer review wasn't as well as our group evaluation. We got many negative feedback as they commented on the background sound was 'Unusual' and the scenery was not good for a meeting, they requested that we used an enclosed room with less background noise and with less background lighting.
