This document provides a preliminary analysis of a film project. It identifies several areas for improvement, including ensuring continuity between shots by keeping characters' appearances and camera positioning consistent. Planning challenges like an overly complicated plot and inability to film all planned scenes resulted in parts of the film being cut. Lessons learned include maintaining character continuity between shots, audio editing skills, and avoiding an overly complicated plot by focusing on the main story.

1. Preliminary analysis

2. What could be improved on:
• The continuity of the shots - As we filmed some shots on different occasions,
some of the shots dont 'flow' very well into the next shot; especially if they are
part of the same scene.
The two screenshots show
how the first shot doesnt
'flow' well into the next shot,
as the character is in
different positions, looks
different and the camera is
positioned differently too.

3. What could be improved on:
• The appearance of the characters -we should have thought more
carefully about the appearance of the characters, e.g what they are
wearing, their hairstyle, etc. as in some shots the characters look
different, which causes confusion within the audience .
The photo on the left shows one
of the characters wearing
different clothes before she walks
into the toilet, however the photo
on the right shows the character
walking into the toilet wearing
different clothing. This links in
with the continuity of the shots,
as it doesn't make sense or 'flow'
into the next shot.

4. What could be improved on:
Other aspects of the preliminary we could have improved on would be:
• Planning - We had planned a lot of scenes to film, and as there were
so many scenes, the plot of the film was complicated and so we didn't
have time to film them all and had to cut certain parts of the film
from the final film.
• We could have filmed some shots twice, as some shots did not go
according to plan straight away.

5. What i have learnt:
• During the process of filming the preliminary, i have learnt:To make
sure all the characters look the same as in the other shots, to ensure
continuity.
• Whilst editing the film, i learnt how to change the volume and pitch
of the sounds added to the film, e.g. so background noise is faded
when characters are having a conversation.
• To not over complicate the film; just include the main plot and key
camera shots.
• Whilst editing, i learnt to
