Evaluation

My preliminary task of making a documentary had many positives as well as negatives. For example, it had good music, cut aways and mise-en-scene. These were all keys points in my task which I personally took a lot of time thinking about and producing. It was framed properly, with the mise-en-scene positioned properly. The lighting was good and effective and suited the theme of the documentary. However the bad points needed to be improved and could not be repeated in my coursework. This included not using a tripod. This caused the filming to be shakey and didn't look professional. The interviewee wasn't facing the right was and it also made the documentary look very unprofessional. The cut aways needed to be over the actual interview, not at the end of each question and there should have been a music bed throughout the whole documentary. Also, I should have used cuts from each frame rather than a cross fade.
