Composition exercise

Strengths
We followed all the shots on the story board and finished the filming how we predicted.
We made it easy for the viewer to follow what was going on by making the shots simple but effective.

Weaknesses 
The continuity of the film has a few shots that jump, where maybe the tripod jilted.
The panning shot at the beginning moves at a different pace in which the rest of the shot does.

Our Practical Continuity and Coverage Preliminary Exercise



A few problems occurred whilst viewing our imported video. We noticed that whilst filming, we forgot to focus the camera which made certain shots of the film fuzzy. We also noticed that during 0.10 the camera moves slightly due to the actors being cut of the film, this would be avoided for the real filming as we would select location of the camera more sufficiently. Another problem was that during 0.20- 0.22 we aimed the camera into daylight through a window, causing the shot to be extremely bright to the viewers.

However, we stuck to the 180 degree and the 30 degree rules, which made the shots look slightly more professional than if we used any degree to capture the shots. We stuck to all the shots on the lego sheet, so we followed the task properly.
