Quality of editing so that Editing was good generally This could be done by editing meaning is apparent to the where we used various particular camera angles and viewer shots for example motivated shots at good and relevant shot to see Jordan’s speed in line with the on- reaction to Genie’s mum not screen movement and genre. leaving her nothing which I Also by matching particular felt was the best shot of the emotions to its right type of clip. On the other hand the editing for example a hocked editing for when Jordan face maybe shown with a enters the room was reaction shot. average but it could have been better by not editing it as fast. But also I believe that the editing was good enough for the viewers notice what the topic was on and the emotions connecting towards it. Quality of using sound with Silence was used for this This can be improved by images and editing clip to match with the topic, matching the pace and tone appropriately for the task set; most effectively used to of which the diegetic or non- Jordan’s reaction at the end diegetic sound is going to the of the clip.

I just feel that our Also we should decide first attempt to film the clip decisions as a collective as was unsuccessful because we already have been doing. of the scenery where the background was loud, so maybe our planning to where to locate and film the clip we should think about more. However organization was good where we all meet up promptly. Group dynamics i.e. how did Very well we co-operated We should constantly work as your group work together well and successfully I feel a group and make joint met the demands of this decisions to make this a task good and promptly. successful project and help Also I feel that we all add out each other. something different to the group. Other points of evaluation I feel that the speech from By doing practice run through ( e.g. equipment related etc) Jordan was poor on one of until we get it as perfect as his lines where he stuttered we can.
