Evaluating our final video:

After editing our video we watched it back and identified the strengths and weaknesses of the video. The main strength in our video was that we followed the brief, this meant that our video included the 180 degree rule, and had more than 5 different shot types and 7 different cuts. We also included our own props which was also part of the instructions we were expected to follow. Another strength in our video is that we have a successful match on action shot. A example of match on action shot is when Hollie drops the box and then kicks it the action is all connected and works out in sync. However, when we were editing this, we did have to flip the camera to make it fit the 180 degree rule and so that the box was coming from the same direction. The use of the jump cut when me and Hollie got up and put our sunglasses on. The jump cut was intentional to emphasise the actions we were doing and to make it more dramatic. However, there were many weaknesses to our video. One weakness was that we noticed when we started editing was that we had not filmed all the action in different angles which made it harder to edit and match cuts together without making it look to jumpy. Another problem which occurred was that we did slightly break the 180 degree rule, however we did slightly get away with it as it was not too obvious. Our targets for next time is to make sure that we film all the action in one go from lots of different angles and to make sure we think before we start filming so that it is easier and quicker to edit.
