Depict Short Film Reviews

Walk   by Edwin Mingard  The simple description for Walk is 'a young woman leaves her friends and heads into the city at night'. I feel that this description is lackluster, I see a vivid short-film that personifies the city, the underground train station and also skyscrapers. It makes you look at things in a completely different way. The everyday clothing and ambient lighting makes the film even more relatable, the constant change of perspective gives a better outlook on what's happening. Although, it’s not always clear.

CHANGE OF HANDS - Induction Task

In this task the main focus was on continuity, we needed to ensure there were no errors which made the film less immersive. Overall we found this task relatively simple yet a few things showed us how difficult continuity can be for example in certain shots due to us using auto-focus the focus changed in shot. To handle this we could make more shots then perfect the focus in each one to make the film more fluent. We originally had establishing shots although they didn't make it to the final cut due to not remembering that those shots actually took place, this is easily solved by putting all of the shots into a single folder so that no shots are forgot. Another error was caused when placing the gun, the point wasn't kept so it had to be fixed in post production. Other than that I feel that we did really well, we created a tense film that made sense even when it lacks dialogue.
