Evaluation.

There are many factors to consider before deciding if our project was an overall success.

The planning of our practical work went very well, considering there was a number of absenses from group members. We first outlined the camera/filming techniques we would need to use and added them to our blogs, this gave us a clear idea of how we needed to use the camera and where to position it etc.

We then came up with a birds-eye plan of the area in which we would be working. And keeping in mind the Line of interaction, we roughly planned the position in which our camera would be, this made it much easier when it came to the practical stage.

One of the most important things about our planning was the risk assessment. Aswell as being a legal requirement, it aslo gave us a clear idea of all the hazards and potential risks in our work space, and what we should do to avoid these.

I thought the filming and editing stage of our project went particularly well. We managed to get a number of good shots on all parts of the role play, and the camera work itself was particularly pleasing. It looks as though we placed the camera in exactly the right position on most occasions which made the final outcome a much higher quality. Things such as eye line level and tracking were enhanced through the camera work.

The editing stage of the project was a great deal more complicated that the other stages that the project inlcuded, but once we had a basic understanding of the software we could easily edit the film in the correct places to make the scene run smoothly and make it a high quality. Making sure to include techniques such as match on action etc.

Overall I think the project went well, and I am pleased with the final outcome.

Risk Assessment of film setting.

Hazard - Glass could smash and cause cuts. We must be careful.
Hazard - Slippery floor could cause slipping. We should wear appropriate footwear and don't run.
Hazard - Various objects could be knocked or tripped over and cause harm. We must watch where we are walking.
Hazard - Lights without correct covering. Could cause burns. We must not touch the lights.
Hazard - Radiator could cause burns if too hot. We must not touch it or try to control the temperature.
Hazard -Electrical Sockets can cause electric shocks. We must not touch with wet hands or any metal object.
Hazard - Door Stop could cause trips. We must watch where we are walking.
Hazard - Media equipment lying around could mean risk of trips. We must keep the equipment tidy and organised.
