Mini Brief Evaluation

Mini Brief Evaluation

Our mini brief begins with a black screen this is a P.O.V shot of Adam knocked out in the medical room and the non-diegetic sound of heartbeat in the background is to signify the heartbeat of Adam. too improve we could've made the heartbeat louder in order to create a greater effect on the audience so they know exactly what is going on.

Also, another mistake we saw was the the mise-en-scene in the background, which was that when the doctor walked through the door it was slightly open but in the next shot it was completely closed. The problem for this again is that it ruins the continuity editing we wanted to achieve. This technique is to create the effect that the whole scene was filmed in one shot. But having this mistake again creates a unprofessional effect again. On the other hand in this shot we used match on action editing technique which was very effective is showing the setting and matching the action together.

Later on, another weakness of our scene is that the player, Adam isn't shown in the shot properly and is off shot slightly. The problem this causes is that our attention is draw away from the main character so then the shots are not effective in creating a sad conversation with bad news.

Lastly, the end shots are poor and sounds are completely irrelevant to the genre. The shot in the picture above is bad because the actors are in the wrong place in the shot, our main character Adam is half cut out of the shot making him not the focus which was our aim. Therefore, the audience is drawn away from the sad conversation making it less emotional.
