can tell that the criminal has
a lower authority as he is
lower in the shot. Another
shot saw the policewoman
with dominance as we used
a high angle shot. The high
angle shot gave the police
woman dominance as it
made her seem bigger.
Quality of shooting material The shooting material I will keep referring back to

lack of respect he has for
her. The policewoman may
have been dressed too

dressed with an interview

stereotypical view of a

Quality of editing so that The editing clearly showed I will make sure my editing is

the hierarchy of the two
characters. in the frame the
criminal is looking up at the
policewoman and the
policewoman is makes no
eye contact with the
criminal. The camera only
shows the policewoman
looking at her piece of
paper. The editing was fast
paced at the beginning
which made it confusing to
tell who the criminal was as
the video went from one
shot to the next very fast,
the character had barely
even began to talk before
the camera shot had
changed.
Quality of using sound with You are able to hear clearly I will make sure you can hear

from hearing the characters. on the camera. Will attempt
to get some non-digetic
sounds when needed to
create suspense in the story.

3. Quality of positioning and The position of the I will position the characters

woman comes into the
room. The police woman is
near the top of the frame
which emphasises her
authority. The criminal is
near the bottom of the frame
which shows how powerless
he is in the situation. There
is a public distance between
the characters, this shows
that this is a formal interview
as opposed to a friendly
conversation.
Quality of group planning, There was a lack of group I will make sure I keep in
meeting targets, organization planning as my self and contact with the other

of my team. I will make sure I
take note of all I need to do
by making a schedule and
checklist.
Group dynamics i.e. how did When the group was We will have more group

a result of this lack of people
one person was led with the
responsibility of writing the
script, another person to edit
the script, two people to
shoot and the same two
people edited the video.
Other points of evaluation The equipment was I will make sure that I will

we used the camera and before hand. I will also have a
computer at the times when full list of equipment and
we needed it. make sure I pre book all the
equipment I need.
