Feed The Fish Evaluation

This pre-production exercises was not done very well due to many reasons. When it came to planning the exercise we did not have many ideas and we lacked the knowledge to produce a very well edited and filmed production.

The main  issue that we faced is continuity editing. While filming we did not have a scheduled which meant when we filmed on different days the actor did not have the same cloths due to the schedule being very hectic and unplanned, this limited the production and did not make it continues.

Another thing that added to the continuity issue was the editing style. The cuts that were made were not very smooth and the sound was not faded in and out due to lack of knowledge, this made the cuts very sharp and obvious which meant it did not make it seem continues.

The planning issue meant that we did not finish the production on time but due to this we learnt that everything has to be planned for our final production so we can finish it on time and make sure we still have one or two weeks after in case anything needed improving or re-filming. 

Understanding of Camera Shots and Angles

The Hunger Games trailer has many different shots and angles that are placed for many different reasons.

Extreme Long Shot:

The extreme long shot was used right at the beginning of the trailer as an establishment shot. The shot shows the setting of  the outside of a modernized city which gives the audience an idea of how the movie is going to be like and also shows that it is set in the future.

Long Shot:

Long shots are often used to show the relationship between the character and the background, it was used the trailer for that exact purpose. As it is shown below the character is using the back ground therefore the director has chosen to use a long to add to the scene and make it more understandable for the audience.  

Medium Shot:

Medium shots are used generally in conversations, the expressions of the characters is also shown to add more to the scene. A mediums shot is used in the middle of the trailer, it is only shown for a second. Even though it was shown for such a small amount of time it still had a very big effect on the audience as it showed a lot of emotions and how the character was feeling.

Close Up:

Close ups are usually used to make the audience concentrate on one thing as they are not distracted of other things in the scene. In this case it is used to focus on a facial expression on the main character. This makes the trailer more dramatic as it shows how angry and upset she seems.

The Hunger Games uses different camera shots and camera angles as they show different things. This doesn't make the movie or trailer boring as the different camera angles and shots portray different meanings and make each shot unique and more interesting.
