Cinematography

This is a demonstration movie of what we have tried to recreate within the camera shots that we were meant to do. Within the movie, there were some parts which made the demo. alright and the other parts which could've been improved completely. One part in which needs some form of improvement is within some of the scenes, as they have the background noises, in which could've been removed in order to improve the quality of the film that me and my group have created.

Some of the parts in which had new scenes, had some awkward transitions, so one moment it could be in the corridor and in the next, it could be then within the outside, in which creates a very weird feel and unprofessional. When we were trying to create the movie, it was an accident which we were rolling with, the comedy bit was a bit of a mistake at first, but once we were recording more, we decided to roll with the comedy bit and tried to make the scenes hilarious to watch, in which we have tried to envelop the sense of comedy in our demonstration with also the music that we have used, as we have incorporated music into the video to try to increase the comedy that is involved within the video.

We have attempted to try to add as many camera shots as possible, all in different styles, the low and high angle shots, the pan, zooms and all the other various styles, in which I have tried to incorporate, the editing was a bit, off. It could've been a bit more cleaner, one in which could've put a little more care into the video, as there were some jagged editing within the first few scenes that we have incorporated within, they could've been shot to support the full transition of a clean form within the film.
