Evaluate your initial footage


In order to evaluate your own footage, you need to upload it and find one frame to focus on.

Task: Paste your chosen frame from your footage next to the same frame from the professional footage. Complete the following tasks:

  1. Framing - comment on the framing of your shot in comparison to the original. Could it be improved? Why do you think the professional shot is so successful?
  2. Lighting - does your lighting work. What kind of set up have you tried to use or did you rely on ambient lighting? Why do you think the professional shoot used the lighting it has?
  3. Mise en scene - comment on whether your costume choices were close to the original and what changes you could make to improve your shot.
  4. Camera - while impossible to see from one shot, you could comment on your camerawork. Did you use a hand-held camera or tripod? Is there any movement in the original shot which you have found difficult to match?
  5. Actors - did your actors work well in front of the camera? Comment on how precise you need to be when directing others in a professional shoot context.
