Short suspense sequence- Evaluation

Over all, I think the quality of our short suspense video was good, with a mix of sound and video clips. Including a wide range of camera angles with the mise-en-scene being considered in every frame.

During the filming we followed the storyboard closely so we knew what we were doing. However we had to adapt it at certain points. For example we had planned for one of the scenes was the reeds blowing in the wind to increase suspense, However on the day of filming it wasn't windy so we adapted our plans. Another complication we faced was we had planned on changing the saturation on the video clips to create a spooky mood, however this wasn't allowed as we weren't allowed to apply that level of editing skills. This meant we had to carefully rethink our camera angles and positioning. Overall the filming process went well and as planned.

When it came to the editing process it took us time to get use to the programme we were using as we had never used it before. However once we got the hang of it we found it easy to learn the basics which was all we were allowed to do. We found it easy to drag and drop the video clips into different slots and move them around until we were happy with the arrangements and timings. The only difficulty was it took us longer than we'd expected to edit so we then ran out of time to include all sound clips and in the right arrangements. Therefore not as much suspense was gained.

Overall I am happy with what we achieved in the time we had.
