Evaluation
I was pleased with my 180 degree film especially when learning about IMovie and the effects we could do because I think sometimes certain effects are needed for films and they make it better.


Positives: What went well with my film I think were definately my actors (Harry Tully and Ollie Biggin) as they improvised the whole scene and acted very professional but it was exactly what I was looking for. When editing the shots for the film I used a medium room voice which made everybodies voice much clearer and sharp but also gave it a little echo effect which I think went really well for my genre of my task as it made more tense but also reacted sometimes police interviews you see on drama shows. I used a vignette throughout the whole of my task as the dark circle made it seem more mysterious but also that it is pin-pointing on one person in pecific which was Max (Ollie Biggin). The slow motion effects and music I think went really well with the pace of the task. Camera angles and shots were done well such as the angle facing both of the two characters as you can see both of them clearly and how they both react to what eachother say.


Errors: I would have liked to work in a different room where it was just a small room for two people to give it more tension but also to give it more of a realistic effect because in my task you can see people in the background at one point and hear another person at the end. Some of my cuts aren't as sharp as possible they do give a good effect as you could see it being a long interview and skipping out bits by doing the dissolve effect but I think they could have been sharper. My credits at the end need to be a bit longer instead of around three seconds so people can see who were actually involved but also make the writing longer when it flashes onto the character saying their name such as 'Max'. It wasn't as long compared to 'The Interviewer'.
