The Lie –EvaluationbyJordan Wardle AS Prelim The intro to the Prelimtaskworkedreallywell, the musicworkedwell withthe introductionof the hit-mancharacteras he enteredthe building,the musicstoppedandrestartedashe entered throughthe door. Thisworkedwell andtherefore hadapleasingeffectonthe restof the introduction.The musicgave anintense feel givingthe feelingof actionanddrama. The match on actionin these beginningscenesworkedreallywell asthe characterwalkedthroughthe doorswith a smoothtransition,almostinvisible toaudience and gave aflowingeffectbetweenthe opening shots. Havingan array of clips arrangedtogetherquickly, speedsupthe atmosphere andportrays actionand fast paceddrama. Once the hit man enteredthe roomwiththe victim, the 180 degree ruleswasnotbroken,until the endwhenItwas purposelybroke toshow the audience somethingiswrong,asthe victim gets murdered.This gave a nice effectasitsubtlysuggestedsomethingbadisgoingto happenanditis inevitable someone isgoingtogethurt. The camera anglesinthe interrogationscene couldhave beendevelopedbetter astheywere lookingdowntobothcharacters,this removedany opportunity touse the downangle shotonthe victim,asit wouldhave beenmisunderstood. There was alsoalotof emptyandwastedspace aroundthe twocharacters whichdrewthe attentionawayfrombothcharacters makingthemless importantas theywere quite small incomparisonwiththe scene. Twoof the importantshotswere out of focusas I focussedincorrectlyonthe shoulderof the hitman,insteadof the face of the victim whois speaking.Thisaffectedthe wayatwhich we saw the final clip,whichcouldhave easilybeen avoided. If I were todo thisPrelimTaskagain,I wouldhave tookmore care in the character placementand setting,asI wouldwantto emphasise the importance of certaincharactersthrough.Iwouldhave alsocheckedto see if the footage is focused correctlyonthe correct actors,to avoidcomplication.
