Cinematography video feedback and learner response

1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher.

*Hugely entertaining, great use of sound, was 1 minute long for brief- lots of credit here.
*Major EBI is thev labels- quite a few not quite right (medium/ close-up e.g.) which is a good lesson in cinematography.

EBI
*It was too dark to see
*At the end, it was a closeup shot instead of a extreme closeup
*Couldn't see some shots


4) Learner response: think about what you learned about cinematography making the video and also watching others. What will you do differently when you start the coursework in the summer? What tips or tricks have you learned from others that you can use next time? Are there any specific aspects of camerawork that you need to revise or practice?

Next time, what I will do differently is revise my camera shots and angles in more great detail so that in the Summer when the when the brief comes out I won't lose any marks for making minor mistakes such as camera shots or angles. What tips I have learnt from this lesson on cinematography is on how to film better and more easier with the camera angles.
