Evaluation of practice task

Strengths:
Editing - The film was edited in a way that everything went in a linear structure. 
Mis-En-Scene - Location was good as it matched the school scene, the outfits suited the scene as they were casual and matched the school feel.
Sound - Dialogue was clear and every person could be heard
Camera - Also we done a variety of takes to choose from which we were able to use in the final cut.

Weaknesses:
Lighting - Lighting kept changing from scene to scene making the film look unnatural and peculiar.
Sound - The sound was echoey as it was bouncing off the walls which makes it seem unprofessional. 
Camera - Bad camera angles that didn't match the scene e.g. when talking to each other should be using eyeline match
Focus

There were both good and bad points in our practise short film task. A really strong point was the editing as our film was edited in a really good way because the events were clear from the beginning and it was in a linear structure. From the editing, we learnt how to make the film flow in transitions and we gained greater skills such as adding storied text at the end. For mis-en-scene, the location was effective as it matched the school scene and we shot it in a cafeteria. Also the outfits suited the scene as they were casual and matched the school feel. For sound the dialogue was clear and every person that was acting could be heard with clarity. With the camera, there were a lot of different shots such as bird's eye view and shot-reverse shot to use in the final cut which shows the variety of different shots we know. 

However there were quite a few weaknesses and one of them was a problem with lighting. The light kept changing from scene to scene making the film look unnatural and peculiar. Also, although the dialogue was clear the sound was a little echoey and kept bouncing off the walls which makes it seem unprofessional. Some of the camera angles did not match the scene, for example when talking to each other we should be using eyeline match. Also the camera went out of focus on some shots so we need to work on that.
