29th January 2010 - Preliminary Clip

This is the groups video for the preliminary task. In this video i was the camera man for the conversation shots.

The parts about this video I like are the shots leading to Sophie walking to the door as they are continuous and work smoothly with the cutaway shots of Josh. I also like the tracking shot following Sophie entering through the door and sitting opposite josh as it adds more continuity to the clip that if a cut was used to show Sophie entering and then a shot of her sat down.

There are a few parts of this video that could be altered to improve it. The first would be that when the conversation is being filmed there is a lot of echo, it would sound a lot better if the clip was filmed whilst keeping echo to a minimum. The second bit that i would change is that only straight cuts were used and more variety could have been used to make the clip more interesting.
