Cinematography video feedback and learner response

1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher.

WWW: good location, use of zoom, use of mask-mise en scene, use of dissolve, effective soundtrack, effective zoom, good establishing shot, excellent pan- hidden cut- character disappeared, POV tracking shot, effective narrative.

EBI: abrupt ending, more description on blog

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.
WWW: good narrative, range of shots, good soundtrack, good location

EBI: longer description, abrupt ending 

3) Now reflect on your work and write your own summary of the comments and feedback you have received. Write three WWWs and three EBIs.
WWW: pan with hidden cut, use of mask (prop), effective narrative
EBI: more planning and description on blog, abrupt ending, could be longer

4) Learner response: think about what you learned about cinematography making the video and also watching others. What will you do differently when you start the coursework in the summer? What tips or tricks have you learned from others that you can use next time? Are there any specific aspects of camerawork that you need to revise or practice?
When I do coursework in the summer I will try to film more shots then planned, just in case I want to make changes while editing. Another time, I want to try do a dolly zoom shot. I would like to practise match on action shots more as it's important to make a video flow well.

The lighting is mostly low-key apart from the main blast of high-key light which is used to portray the strength of both characters. The actors are places mostly central on the screen and each are posed to make the shot look mostly symmetrical and this framing of them to both be equal conveys that they are similar although being on opposing sides of the fight. The setting is a disheveled/ broken down building and it is in the foreground of this long- shot whilst the main action is in the mid-ground of the scene which shows the setting to be almost enclosing and trapping them in whilst they fight possibly suggesting a negative mental state during the fight. Barbarian Clip   (Horror/Thriller) Lord of the Rings Clip   (Fantasy) Each clip had different coloured lighting the horror movie was more washed out and had cooler toned lighting which represents the more bleak and fr...
