Strengths
I think our preliminary task forfileld the necessary criteria that was to film a short sequence, having somebody waking in to a room, having few lines each and incorperating shot reverse shot. I think our final edit, shows these objectives quite clearly. I think the music added atmosphere to the piece and made the end more emoitonal. The cuts which were main in the editing process I think, at some points gave the piece a sophisicated touch and helped the peice to develop.
Weaknesses
I think the main weakness of the piece is the white noise at the start of the clip, due to the fact that we forgot to record a minute of ambient sound. This really is enhanced when we start speaking and actually sounds like its a "broken record" rather than ambient sound of the scene. Also some of the shots, like the establishing shot between me and Charlotte, could have been cut to be a smaller take rather than a good few seconds because in our final edit it looks really unnatural and we are just sat there staring at eachother. Also the ending of the scene, when I am upset, i covered my face which I need to avoid doing in futre, however this was because I had the tendacy to laugh during certain takes.
Improvements/Suggetions For Future Projects
In the thriller task later on in the year, I need to refrain from laughing and also make sure in the editing process that we have realistic time limits on certain camera shots (to avoid unnatural scenes). Also if we are allowed to do this, email the copyright records of a famous or copyrighted song that we could use in our piece, therefore people can relate to the song and it will hopefuly add familiarity to the piece.
