Preliminary exercise learner response

1) Type up your teacher's feedback in full plus a summary of the comments you received from other students in the class.

• Really good sequence - I know it's missing dialogue but you really get a sense of character from the scene. 
• Good camerawork and editing - the framing and movement in the kitchen is excellent 
• The knock on door/music cut isn't quite right - timing just off but it's a great idea. Also, the transition that follows (dissolve) is misleading - just use straight cut.
• Final shot looking through porch is great. Not sure on typography for title though?
• Soundtrack great too!

2) Using a combination of your own reflection on the preliminary exercise and the feedback you were given, write three WWW bullet points and three EBI bullet points for your work.

WWW: 

• Non-diegetic sound used effectively 
• Use of lighting
• Casting of characters 

EBI: 

• Diegetic sound 

3) How effectively did you complete the objective you laid out in your mini preliminary exercise statement of intent?

I changed my narrative slightly in order to make it more gripping for the audience. However, the crime stayed almost the same as planned.

4) What have you learned from the preliminary exercise that will help you in the actual coursework project?

Plan more in order to make sure I take even more shots than needed.

5) Now you have completed the preliminary exercise, will you change anything about your actual coursework video plan? This could include your concept, cast/actors and narrative or technical elements such as mise-en-scene, camerawork or editing.

I would like to change the cast slightly but keep the same narrative for my actual coursework.
