Evaluation of the Exchange

The Evaluation
As a class we watched all the exchange projects and evaluated them
here is the evaluation of my groups clip.

The end shot from behind the grate was well done, the use of the handheld camera style as opposed to the tripod help to create and eerie and confusing shot which is essential in film noir.
The costumes-The female character- The heels show everything about her character they give away that she is a sexy strong confident woman the fact that she is wearing a long coat and black tights give and air of mystery and enigma to the piece.
Location- Our location was an underground car park, although different to what was storyboarded it gave and excellent feel to the project it helped to create a dirty and seedy atmosphere which is again typical of a noir.
Cinamatograpy- The grill shot and the heel shot are good and work well in the context of the genre we are trying to portray.
We have good framing (rule of thirds) especially in the over the shoulder shots and the walk towards the male character.
We also followed the 180 degree line rule well and all our cuts and edits worked.
Sound- We feel that our chosen music fits our project well and it is creepy and mysterious much like our femme fatale.
Our tiles are also good and work well in our genre and overall our piece is very noiresque.

We could have improved however, with more adventurous camera shots maybe with a dutch tilt.
The cigarette lighting shot was also awkward as the actress(me) had trouble opening the lighter and lighting the cigarette this could have been solved with a cut away shot to the male character and had we had more time we would have done that.
