First draft evaluation

My overall opinion of Elliot and Myself's first draft is that it is of a low quality due to various different reasons, such as it has no opening credits, some areas of the scene have no sound, and the props/clothing didn't fit in well with the actual theme of the movie. Some parts of our opening scene were completed to a high quality but I believe that they were overshadowed by the lack of quality in other areas due to the camera not being focussed and through the editing process being rushed.



 The first problem with the first draft of our opening sequence is that we were over a week late on the deadline which meant when we filmed it, we rushed ourselves rather than taking the time to record it to a higher quality. Due to this, some of the shots in our opening scene are blurred. In the first shot of the garage scene, the camera is supposed to be blurred to express how the character is disorientated as it is a POV shot, but it is unclear to the audience whether this is on purpose due to the camera being blurred in other shots throughout the opening scene. We also had to rush the editing phase so that we could upload it as soon as possible, I felt that this massively hindered the overall quality of the final result of the first draft becausewe were unable to include the credits onthe opening sequence and we left some shots unedited which made the opening sequence First Draft end up being completed to a low quality.

Another problem with Elliot and myself's first draft is that during the filming stage of the production, we didn't use a tripod and decided that we would film every shot with a handheld camera, this reduced the quality of the shot because the camera struggled to focus on the shot due to the constant movement.

On the contrary to my previous comments on my First Draft, I also felt that there were some positive aspects in the First Draft, such as the sound bridges used fairly commonly throughout the opening sequence which I feel had a positive effect on the scene. Also, I feel that the garage shots were successful, we originally planned for them to be out of focus to give the perception that it is a POV shot of someone who has just awoken and therefore their vision is blurred.
