Preliminary exercise evaluation
Looking at feedback given on our preliminary activity by the other group, I think the comments were fairly positive. These were comments on our camerawork. There was only one shot that was slightly unsteady. Each shot was framed correctly. The other group thought there was too much space between the heads of the characters and the ceiling. The eyeline matched correctly. Every person was clearly visible. The 180 degree rule was broken but it was not un easy to watch.
These were the comments on our editing. Our match on action was successful. There were no jump cuts visible. Our shot reverse shot was successfull. The pace was steady but the other group thought our title sequence at the end was slightly too long. Our transitions were invisible. The only thing we need to change is the gap between the end of the video and the title.
Looking at our sound, the other group thought most of our diaalogue and sound effects were fine but the dialogue was at times muffled.
Lastly, looking at Mise en scene the other group said our lighting was good but our background and setting was not appropiate.

"Announce as much ambition as possible at the start"
John Schlesinger:
"A good sharp shock"
J. J Beinex:
"Accept to wait"
David Finchers "Se7en" titles "Hits you over the head". It was made as the beginning of the film
