Continuity Piece - Final Piece and Evaluation

The storyline chosen, while perhaps not as good as it could have been, allowed us much room to experiment with different techniques and forced us to adapt to situations as they arose - all good experiences to help us with our final piece. It allowed us to experiment with a number of different camera shots - from angles used and how to use them, to movement. The camera shots, I felt, worked well despite the simplicity of the piece and gave us ample experience to work with on later pieces. We also had to deal with editing, a harsh learning curve, but we managed to deal with complicated matters such as timing, which I feel we tied in perfectly with the music. The use of Metallica and The Bee Gees worked perfectly with the comedic twist - changing from a serious tone to a much more upbeat song in good timing with the twist. I feel this helped to make the film much more interesting than it would have been without the twist, the film on a whole proving successful with class-mates who watched it. I felt that for our first effort at filming, the video was a good attempt - a better storyline would have much improved the final product, but the manner in which we worked together as a team and the techniques in filming and editing alike made the video a worthwile project.
