Sound Evaluation
The story based around this sound exercise was to create a short argument. The argument was shown on the reality TV show Jeremy Kyle. This argument was between a mother of a sick daughter and her best friend. They were arguing because the best friend is taking the mental patient for advantage.
During this sound exercise it was beneficial to use the microphone. Also using the 'Master Shot' and the 'Over the shoulder shot'. These are the main things to use whilst filming a conversation. We also explored many camera shots such as 'Pan' and 'Point of view'. As we was editing, we made sure to include all of these techniques.
We was able to create all of the following techniques. We created the 'Master Shot' simply by placing the camera on the tripod and being able to fit both of the people in the frame. The 'over the shoulder shot' was created when having a conversation. As the person in the conversation was speaking, we would film the shoulder/head of the person that is being spoken to. This was because it shows who the conversation is between. It then is used in the same way as the other person replies. We added in some camera shots which included 'Pan' and 'Point of view'. We used the 'Pan shot as Jeremy started to walk from one side of the frame to the other. This was to show his movement. The 'point of view' shot was used to show the camera man chasing after someone. This shows the point of view of what they see as if you was them.
I think looking back at our footage that we did use each technique accurately. However, I think that we did not really use the microphone as well as we could have done. I think that every scene where someone was speaking, the microphone should have been closer in able to get a more clear sound. For next time we would definitely make sure that the microphone is closer to the person speaking to get a better sound.
Overall, the most positive elements of our film was the way we used the 'Master shot' and the 'over the shoulder shot'. I thought that the way we was able to use both of them and make it look accurate was done very well. Also whilst editing these together was done very good as there were no faults. I think to make improvements we would make sure that the microphone was closer to the sound which would produce a more clearer sound.
