The areas that was successful in the digital technology at the start of the scene 0:08 we had clear 180 degree rule that was used successfully through out our encounter. Also the shot reverse shot was very clear as each person spoke the camera reversed back to them. At 0:22 in the encounter then match on action was successful as it flowed without any trouble making that the most successful part of the film.We edited all of our work on the mac using I Movie. I started off struggling with using this as I never edited any film before the encounter. I then found it easier as time went on as I tired to edit it until it was accurate and to make sure that it flowed successfully. On I Movie I included effects like on the jump at 0:26 I made the shot go slow motion adding a more of a agent feel to the encounter. Even though I thought the encounter was successful as there was a range of shots I still believe that there was room for improvements. Part that was less successful was in the digital technology was at 0:59 as the camera as the film film did not flow as we did not film enough to edit it down accurately. If I could do it again I would make film flow through all of the film and not just at the start of the film as it does not flow greatly. Also I would include more sound effect when the is the fight section at 0:52 of them fighting to make it more effective and add music at the start of the scene while the agent is running.
The successful creative parts of the film was that made our encounter unique was that we had to make a storyline of someone entering the room and having a conversation with another character. It had to include the 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot and also it had to include match on action when you character walks through the door. To make our story line more unique we made it about agents and change it to be more interesting by making the storyline interesting and making the character running down corridors to fight the bad person. We made sure we added match on action but we included it at 0:22 and 0:29 when the agent is jumping down the stairs. As we also was creative with the wide range of shots that we used like at 0:33 we used a point of view shot when the agent was running to make the audience engage more with the agent while he was running. The less successful parts was that the storyline started off good but after 0:35 it felt as it the story line could of got confusing for the audience and never made it as good as it could of been.
When I came to edit my piece I found out that some of the shots did not flow into the next shot. This would be because the actors would be one was at the end of one shot and then they would move for the other shot. This made it the edit at 0:59 less successful than it could of been as it did not flow greatly. The parts that we found successful in our post production was the match on action as the had a great flow to the match on actor at 0:22 as we done this shot more than once to make sure that it was successful while we had to edit it. In some shot we found out that the start of the dialogue was missing so we had to re film to make sure that it was more precise for the preliminary task.
For the research and planning what was successful as we wrote a clear description in each shot of what is going to happen in each shot. We included what the lighting would be like, the duration of the shot, the shot type, the shot angle, the sound and the setting of where the shot is going to be. This was successful as it made it easy what the shot order was going to be and we looked at each shot making sure that we done it the same as we done it on the planning paper. The setting the we used made sure that we had a natural lighting so that we would not have to include any artificial colours in our encounter. Research that was done was that at 0:15 for the shot reverse shot to get an idea of how that shot is like we looked at many films to get an idea of how films used it. This gave us a clearer understanding making it easier for us when we was filming it. For the encounter we don't not manage time as well as we could of. It seemed that we need more time editing our encounter as I left that till late. The filming time was good as we had enough time to film the mistake that we found while we was editing the film.
For the preliminary task the editing could of been edited to make the encounter look more effective. I believe that the in the British Social Realism film that the editing was more accurate. I also believe that i improve on the camera shots as we used a range of shots in the BSR film making the film engage with the audience more for example at 0:50 in the BSR film we done a close up of the the boy cleaning the knife so it could get the audience attention. For the graphic in the BSR film they had a meaning why we decided to use that colour for the credits and the title to connote that his life is in a struggle. The time management for the BSR film was good as we did not need to rush while we was film or editing or final piece and because of this we make sure that it was more precise.
