CRITIQUE REFLECTION Within the design of the film, I feel like I used a variety of Principles of Design, various camera angles and movements. However, I could have used a few more different shot types in the film In terms of the technical quality, the tripod was used effectively, and the lighting was good. The editing of the film was done well and the transitions from one clip to another were smooth and seamless. However, the audio quality and sound levels could be improved upon as the audio in the film could not be heard very well. In the performance of the talent, the concept, acting and quality of the performance in the film was done very well. I do believe that the costuming could be improved as the costumes were not very consistent throughout the film. Overall, I believe that editing and camera work are my strengths, and I could definitely work on improving audio levels, variety in shot types and costuming.

HOW ARE DIFFERENT CAMERA MOVEMENTS USED? 1. Crane Down Shot: Moves the viewer into the story or scene. It gives the f eeling of falling into the character's world or being dropped into the scene. 2. Crane Up Shot: It gives the viewer the feeling of how small the character is or how large the obstacle is that is to be overcome. 3. Crane High to Low Angle Shot: It makes the character look strong and imposing, creating fear. It gives a feeling of authority. 4. Handheld Camera Shot: It creates a feeling of uneasiness or danger. 5. Quick Pan Shot: It changes the emotional direction of a scene. It reveals something dangerous or something that the character is going to overcome, sending the viewer in a different emotional direction. 6. Quick Push In Shot: It creates a feeling of surprise or shock. 7. Slow Dolly In: It creates tension and helps the viewer become more intimate with the character. It might be intended to make the viewer feel uncomfortable fo...

Elements & Principles of Design
ELEMENTS OF DESIGN LEADING LINES Leading lines are a compositional technique where human-made or natural lines lead the viewer's eyes through a photograph to the subject or the heart of the image. VERTICAL LINE S Vertical lines represent growth, strength and confidence in photos. Just like with our body language, when we stand up straight, we appear more in control, confident and strong. If a subject is leaning against a vertical line in an image, they look supported. HORIZONTAL LINES A horizontal line is a straight line that runs from the left side of the frame to the right . Horizontal lines give the impression of stability because of their relation to the horizon and the ground that we stand on. When you combine that with a material known for it's strength, you can produce a photo that really stands out for it's stability. DIAGONAL LINES Diagonal lines are a compositional element that stretches diagonally across a photo . Th...
