Analysis of Past Students Work

T1-29 (2009/10) :

  This group managed to keep a steady shot effectively possibly using a tripod at the news report scene which needed a steady shot as it was a formal representation of BBC news. However, when the shot was focused on the man walking towards the end of the clip, the camera was handheld and slightly shaky as if the audience were following him.

All material shots were appropriate to the task and the editing consisted of a montage of various locations possibly relating to past or future events, the music that assisted it made the audience feel melancholy. The mise en scene was done well as the costume was appropriate and the also the location was very accurate. Furthermore, the effects were successfully done as they managed to insert the BBC logo and strap line to make it more realistic. The shot transitions were limited which may have been their aim as it makes it more straight forward and does not distract the audience's attention. The title was not distinguished effectively from the names of those involved.





U1-33 (2009/10) :


The start of the clip was handheld and a little shaky and it was hard to tell what was going on but was effective to create a little tension especially with the fact there was no music over the top and just the sound of heavy breathing. Shot distances were used effectively such as the over shoulder when the man is attempting to restrain the other, and high angles of someone being ill.
All material shot themselves was appropriate though didn't sync in  well with clips they had used from other sources.

Mise-en-scene (location) of start was good, running through unkept land to get away from the infected. Editing was fast pace to create a form of tension. Title at the end of the clip creates impact with the bang of the hand on the glass of the door.
Transitions were limited though worked well with fast editing as it didn't break anything down, effects at start of FBI symbols made the problem of the plot line seem very serious and dire.
