Evaluation of Preliminary Task

We started practising filming with a camera for the first time through the Preliminary Task. This was a practise for our real final filming and a good experience as it gave you an insight into how to use the camera, and how to practise using a variety of different camera angles. It is designed to show our progression from the initial task to the real short thriller opening. In our Media class the different groups viewed our Premilimary Task and evaluated it by giving us critical information back.
The information we received was the camera was shaky, they could not properly hear the dialogue as it was not that clear. Another group said that there is Good match on action and a good arch shot, however the camera is shaky, and the dialogue was hard to hear also. The lighting was also too dim. Consequently the comments we received from the other groups concluded that the camera was shaky and the dialogue was unclear.
During our Preliminary Task our group had some problems with trying to include all three of us in the Task. We also made plenty of scenarios before producing the final Preliminary Task as run throughs and practising the different camera shots and angles needed. We did also have some problems with keeping the camera steady.
