Premininlary evaluation
The original idea for the evaluation is basically our final production through the fact that we were set in the café with al casino and Paulie and they then the conversation was then happening for the short time we had in order to film it, Paulie basically thou owned money to al casino because he helped keep the Mafia away from Paulie and his family but he needed that money to pay off the ransom for his daughter. The group was split up successfully in order to complete different tasks or roles to make it successful and effectively to a set time frame. Emily in our group shared roles in order to complete tasks like the story board etc. but individual roles included mine which was the actual acting in the acting role play as well as the treatment. Ishmael then did the cool sheet and did the camera movement to get the different camera roles along with Emily when trying to do the different shots e.g. match on action.
If we would change anything it would be to spend more time on task in order to be more prepared to finish the video to the best of it possible ability.
Personally I believe that the most help piece of production paperwork would have to be the storyboard as it created a structure for the actual production as well as provided us with the different set ideas of the camera angles and how in theory it would look and what we were targeting to replicate.
The main person responsible for the main execution of the final idea would be Emily due to the fact that she was the one that actually designed the storyboard as well as playing a major role in the actual filming of the different scenes to capture the different shots. I believe that it did work and went to plan as we recreated the scenes that we designed and the final production was at a high standard.
I think that our technical skills in the production were utilized to a high level and were used into good effect into the use of camera angles etc.
