Self Evaluation - Thomas Herd

One of our weaknesses in both our Thriller and Prelim film was the range of shots we used in a single edit, if we had made more shots of a certain scene then it would have made it more interesting for the audience.

We found this was an issue when we had completed our filming for our Prelim. The shots were far too long and I don't think we took enough risks within the range of angles as they were very basic.

During our film, I thought we improved our range however there was a specific shot at the end of the opening where older antagonist was walking through the Gatwick Hangar. We only shot this from one angle which was an extreme long shot with a pan from left to right. We tried to break up the edit by using other footage but it didn't have the effect we wanted to get across to the audience.

The reason why we only made one shot of this was because initially we didn't know we could film in that area. This means if we had done some more research into the location we could have planned better for the situation. this would have meant that we could have used a variety of angles for this shot for example close ups, over the shoulder shots and also, the extreme long shot that we initially used.
