Isabel Wong Assessment Evaluation

Use of Camera
-We have all our shots steady except the the POV shot which is showing the view of the running vampire
-By re-watching the sample video for several times, we've made enough notes on planning the
 shots, so we framed the shots quite appropriately and had some nice angles of filming since we've done plenty preperation work.
-We've used various shot types in the film, including: mid shot, long shot, POV shot, close up
-We've made use of the composition techniques quite well, but there was an error occurred
 in the shot which shows the drunk girl walks near the lamppost. The girl and the lamppost should be
 placed a bit rightward in the shot, then the girl is left more room to move leftward.

Use of Editing
-We've applied the rules of continuity quite well except the shot right after the POV shot
 It doesn't make sense that the vampire has already stopped in the POV shot whereas the vampire is
 still running to the girl in the next shot as the vampire is supposed to stand still in that shot.
-The shots flow together quite well but the different brightness of the shots shows the mistake that
 we've made on choosing the time of filming. We should choose an earlier time to do the filming or else wait until the sky gets dark, but we have to make use of some extra lighting then as we know we should never film without any extra lighting in the dark.

Selection of Content
-The selection of costume helps sharpen the difference of the characters, for instance, we had the vampire wearing in black costume to show his identity and evil characteristic. The vampire also wore the make up with extreme dark eye circles and pale face, this even let the audience realize who is going to be the victim in the film.
-The alcohol bottle is quite well-selected. As it was easily to be broken into pieces which didn't take us long to finish the close up where the bottle being broken.
-Ketchup is a nice choice to be used as fake blood.
-The location is completely matched with the location in the sample video, where there are trees, a path, lampposts, these are all we need for our filming and there is no extra unwanted object in the location, then we didn't have to spare extra time to clear or decorate the location.

Self-assessment
-I've done the drafting and planning of the storyboard and the shots we're going to make use for our filming. I also filmed some shots and edited some parts of the film.
- What shoud be greatly noticed and improved is we should not do our filming in the dark without plenty lighting, otherwise the outcome will probably as dark as ours which makes the audience hardly to get what the film is going on.
-I will make sure the location is light enough if it comes to my final coursework film and make amendment to the editing to make the whole film flow smoother.
