Emily Bland assessment evaluation

Use of camera
- Apart from the shot where the camera had to be hand held to give the effect of looking through the eyes of the vampire, the shots were very steady.
- We used various types of shots so the film could be more interesting otherwise if one type of shot was used then it would become boring.
- We made sure that we had plenty of lead room especially when the vampire was running. However, in the end shot there was too much room around the actors and they were in the middle of the frame, so there wasn't enough focus on them.

Use of editing
- The shots seem to flow together well (the part of the film where there is the close ups of the girl and vampire flowed the best) but the lighting of the shots show that they had been shot at different times. There wasn't enough lighting to film it so we upped the exposure as we couldn't see through the view finder, we no know not to film when it starts to get dark and in the future would film with more light.

Selection of content
- The make-up for the vampire suited our genre very well as he looked very pale and had dark. His clothing was very dark so he could blend in more to make it a bit of a challenge to see him as this is what we needed.
- The location we chose was good apart from that there wasn't enough street lighting to help us film in the dark so a location with more lighting may have been better.
- The actors worked well with us, we had a few times when we had to re-shoot because of laughter but they were soon back on track

Self-assessment
- Found a possible location
- Provided and applied make-up for the vampire
- I also helped by setting up some of the shots and reminding the group where the camera should be (180 degree rule)
- I edited some of the film along with both of my group members
- One major aspect which could be improved is the time of day it was filmed as it is hard to see some of the film due to it being too dark
- What I would do differently: I would make the storyboards clearer so we know exactly what sort of shot we need to be doing without any confusion. I would also film at a location where there is more lighting.
