L03 Our single drama video and evaluation

Evaluation

Overall our single drama went well as it was made to a poor standard however we feel as a group that it could be improved in some areas, as it can be improved at the scene where Gift and Anthony are walking through the doors where they come to a standstill and all of sudden start having a conversation. This scene could be improved because it jumps from Gift and Anthony walking to them suddenly standing still and having a conversation making the video look unproffesional. We can improve this by adding another clip in between showing Gift and Anthony walking slightly more and showing them standing still and having there conversation.

Another scene which we could improve is the training session scene where Gift and Anthony are Training, we could improve this scene by making the scene shorter as we feel it is too long and we can improve it by doing more match on action and using more camera angles in this scene to make it look better as a whole.

Also the camera angles used in our film could be improved as we never used a wide variety of camera angles meaning that our film looked dull and does not meet professional. To meet professional standards we could go back on each scene and use a variety of camera angles in order to meet professional standards.

Also we could improve our overall film by adding effects to make it meet professional standards as adding effects would make the film look more entertaining and professional and we could use relevant music for our film as the music we used was completely irrelevant to our film meaning it could be changed for something more suitable to our film.
