The document provides an evaluation of a group's film project. It identifies several areas that could be improved, including stabilizing camera shots with a tripod, framing shots to use space more efficiently, ensuring proper focus and lighting that remains consistent, selecting appropriate settings and positioning of objects, using more editing to enhance the film, ensuring sound and images are well synced, paying attention to actors' positioning and movements, and maintaining consistent framing of actors within shots. The evaluator notes one strength was the group worked well together with no issues. Examples are provided for most areas that need improvement, along with recommendations for how to address the issues in future projects.
1. PRELIMINARY EVALUATION SHEET
Quality of Summary My honest evaluation-
what was done well and
what was not of good
standard? Try to cite
specific example and
moments from your video
Examples of strategies,
good practices and skills
that my group and I will
put into place and
develop to ensure a main
production of high quality.
Quality of holding a shot
steady
It was done well during the
establishing shot, but in most
other points of the extract
the camera is at least slightly
shaking.
Use of a tripod to make sure
the camera does not shake.
Quality of the framing of shots Too much empty space in
frame.
Make sure that the frame
contains less pointless space.
Quality of shooting material
appropriate to the task set-
i.e. the content of your film
pre and post editing was
consistent with the exam
directives
At times it was very out of
focus, there was also an
inappropriate setting, as
there were chairs still on
tables and bags in the
background, which throws
off the mood of the extract.
Make sure that we properly
make sure that the camera is
properly focused. Put all bags
and such somewhere where
you will not be able to see it.
Quality of selecting mise-en-
scène including colour, figure,
lighting, objects and setting;
Lighting is very inconsistent,
sometimes the room is dark
and sometimes it is light.
There are four major lighting
changes in the extract.
Setting and placement of
objects is extremely
inappropriate for the theme.
It is very obviously a
classroom with no attempt
to hide the fact, plus you
can see chairs that have not
been put down and
people’s bags and jackets
on the table.
Make sure to set a constant
setting that is appropriate to
the context before shooting.
Decide what kind of lighting
there will be in the shot and
do not change it at all. Put all
personal items somewhere
where they will not be in the
shot.
Quality of editing so that
meaning is apparent to the
viewer
There was little use of
editing, other than the
tracking shot up the stairs.
Make it so that there is more
use of editing to enhance the
quality of the film.
Quality of using sound with
images and editing
appropriately for the task set;
The sound was consistent
with the imaging, except for
one point in which Person B
cannot be heard.
Make sure that such mistakes
are not made next time, and
make efforts to correct them
if they do happen.
Quality of positioning and
movements of actors
Movements of actors are
generally okay, except for
when person A sits in the

Quality of group planning,
meeting targets, organization
Group dynamics i.e. how did
your group work together
The group worked well
together, there were no
problems and everyone
listened to each other.
None.
