Controlled use of camera 1/3
The camera is not very controlled throughout the film. Camera movement is is hardly present and shots are often unsteady.
Attention to framing 1/3
The framing does not appear to be thought through and is badly executed. In many places, tighter framing would have been more appropriate.
Variety of shot sizes 2/3
A number of different shot sizes were used, such as wide shots, medium shots and close ups.
Close attention to mise en scene 1/3
The narrative would have allowed for very interesting mise en scene, however once again, there is a lot of room for improvement. The location is very basic. Costumes and make-up are simple, but effective. The acting is poor, however the main characters are children, so this has to be taken into account. The lighting is not controlled.
2. Editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer
Making selective and appropriate use of shot transitions 2/4
A small number of different transitions were used, however not always appropriate and there could have been a lot more work put into this.
Making selective and appropriate use of captions 1/4
Although existend, the captions used were close to unreadable
Making selective and appropriate use of other effects 2/4
Dark filter put on the scenes set in the past.
3. Recording and editing sound with images appropriately 5/16
Relationship between images and sound is poor. The song 'Candy' is played whilst a young girl plays hide and seek. Voices are too quiet multiple times throughout the film. Cut are generally very obvious which breaks the continuity.
Total marks: 15/40
Level 2:
There is evidence of a basic level of ability in the creative use of some of the following technical skills.
I find that a very low Level 2 rating is appropriate for this piece of work as it is basic throughout. There are some criteria where the candidate proved higher ability, such as including a variety of shot sizes, however this alone does not justify a grade higher than a low level 2.
Here are a number of screen shots from the film to justify my grading:
 |
| 'Candy' by Robbie Williams – not fitting to the little girl |
 |
| These captions are barely readable |
 |
| Close up |
 |
| Interesting shot |
 |
| Captions not aesthetically pleasing |
 |
| Difference between past and present, most likely achieved throuh a filter added in post. |
 |
| Diffrence between past and present |
 |
| This shot could have been a lot tighter |
Watch Hide and Seek here.
