Evaluation Of "It's Good To Talk"


Above is my preliminary task finished. The class all watched each others interviews and gave feedback for each of them to improve on.This is the list of things that were wrong with my interview which I must improve on when I create my actual documentary:
- The ending cuts too quickly
- No fades are used
- The rule of thirds is not used properly
- Song choice is incorrect
- There are no cutaways
- Too many jump cuts
- The shot type is wrong
- Interviewee moves around a lot, changing the eye line
- The positioning of interviewee's body is not right
- Mise-en-scene did not link to the interview
- Camerawork used was not steady
- The music was too loud in parts
- Order of answers did not make sense
