Karlea Baker A2 Media: Evaluation of 'It's good to talk'

Evaluation

We used an appropriate Mise en scene for our interview.
The interviewee was framed correctly. She was on the right of the screen facing the left.
We also varied our camera shots, so for example medium close up to close up.
We managed to get a talkative interviewee, so our questions were answered correctly including lots of information and not short and simple.
There was a good variety of cut aways which related to the interview and fit in nicely with the editing.
The sound of the interview was really clear, we filmed in a quiet classroom so there was no background noise.
The editing and interview answers flow better in the second half of the interview.

For the background of the interview you could see the task bar on the computer screen so the audience said it would be better if it was framed higher.
The camera work was often a bit shaken and to solve this we should have used a tripod.
To make the interview more interesting we should have used a music bed.
The edits in our interview needed to be cleaner as they where jumpy in some places.
Throughout the interview there is not many cut aways, there needed to be more between answers and when the camera shot changes, we needed these to tighten the editing.
We should have used graphics in our interview, eg. introducing the interviewee and showing who produced the film.
Some of the cut aways where not correctly placed on the screen so we needed to edit them to fill the screen.
Lastly we need to make sure that cut aways are not on the screen for too long.
