Evaluation.

I believe that our piece met most of the aims we were given, there were no obviously noticeable continuity errors and most of the film was fluid and made sense.

I thought the script and choice of camera angles worked well and all the acting was fluid and convincing, though we did have a few problems with memorizing the script and had to do quite a few takes of one or two scenes but in the end we were able to get all the scenes done well.

I would have liked there to be some music during the credits but we weren’t able to find any copyright free music. Another problem we had was filming in the short space we had which lead to some tight camera angles but we were able to make it work and find some good angles.

It was our first time using adobe Premier so we did have a few problems getting used to it in the beginning but it was relatively intuitive and easy to use once you get used to it. We had a very hard time capturing our footage initially because of the large amount of the footage we had, which also made it difficult to find the clips we needed.

I learnt a lot filming this, for example I learnt that You should film footage in proportion to how long the film your making so if you are making a 1 minuet film you shouldn’t need 10 minuets of footage, also that before you should film you should make sure that you are very organized to make sure you use your time effectively.

Location recce

 We were looking for locations to film our piece, we wanted an office or a meeting room seeing as our film takes place in an interview.

 We looked at the music office, but while it was an office we thought it would work well, but we soon realised that it was far too small.

 we also looked at the learning support room but this too was far to small to fit all our cast and equipment in.

 We decided that the best room for our piece would be the "Kings room" which was large and well lit, it also is used by the school to hold its real intrviews so we thought this would add an eliment of realism to our film

Another room we looked at was PS3 but even though it wasnt short on space we decided that it didnt look official enough and would look far too dirty to be considerd a real room thatd be used for a job interview.
