'The Accident' Evaluation

The Accident was quiet a realistic story, as it shows the everyday life of any adolescent and it relates to many teenagers. The Accident consists of a variety of shots. The editing of the shots was done to a good standard, however it could have been improved by taking shots that compliment each other, for example going from an eye-level midshot to a close-up. This would be beneficial as in this movie the shots contrast each other as we go from an eye-level midshot suddenly into an over the shoulder shot, this seems like a big jump and does not link in to one another.

The editing should be fluent and the different shots should compliment each other, this movie clip does flow reasonably well, unfortunately it has a few problems as some areas change the shot before the previous character has stopped talking.

The shoot was reasonably efficient as we did majority of our shots in the time we were given, though we had to work fifteen minutes overtime as we had two more shots to take. This fifteen minutes was very unefficient as our shoot was disturbed by peers and background noise. We had to retake one shot over eleven times which was not very resourceful. However overall, the shots lived up to our expectations.

If I had a chance to re-shoot and re-create this short movie, I would use shots which compliment one another and keep the clips flowing. During the editing process I would make sure that there is at least an extra second of each clip before linking them to each other so that it does not seem as if the characters were in a rush while shooting. In the future I would make sure the story was cut shorter and less shots are used, as the quality is more of a priority then quantity.
