Preliminary Task 1.3 - (Evaluation)

After completing our editing we had the opportunity to self evaluate our work as well as offering our opinions on the work of others. The chance to be criticized, both positively and negatively, brought to light some aspects of our work that was well constructed and other features that were less so.

An issue that many members of the group picked up on that we, as a group, did not was a problem concerning continuity - at the beginning of the sequence a bottle of Lucozade was present on the desk. However, a shot a few seconds revealed that the bottle had disappeared - The fact that we did not pick up on this error and that others did shows how useful peer-evaluation is as a learning tool.

With pride aside, it allowed us, ourselves, to appreciate the errors in our shooting which included our characters sometimes disobeying the 180 degree rule. It was also pointed out that as our protagonist entered the room he blocked the camera from capturing the antagonists - this taught us to have more attention when considering positioning, of both character and shot. However, as a result, this allowed us to take note of our mistakes and help us prevent making the same errors again when progressing to the main task.
