When we had finished our Preliminary task, we had given another group a sheet so they could evaluate our task. From receiving the results, we found out that they were fairly positive towards our task and how we produced it. Within this, we had found out that we had used a good example of match on action when both the characters walked through the door, shot reverse shot when one of the male character was talking to the female to then the female looking up at the male character and 180 rule when changing the camera angle parallel to each other when the shot reverse shot was being used. We had also found out that we used a variety of shot types being Track shot, Over the should shot, Medium long shot, High angle shot and a Tilt. In addition to this, we had found out that the group had understood our narrative but also the sound fits if the action. For example, the door closing shut.

From further positive notes, we had received that at the beginning when the male and female character are running down the corridor, we had used a good sense of camera work and once both the characters went into the deserted room, the dim lighting gave the scene a eary atmosphere. In addition to this, we also had some negative feedback but with this we can elaborate them into our official film piece. One of them was that the sound track was too loud and they could only just hear the audio speech so with this, we will quieten the soundtrack but also have a voice over. Another feedback was that we could have used a flashback instead of the male and female character in the room which would give the audience a better understanding of our film and what was happening for this to happen. To apply this into our official film, we will firstly think about having a flashback before we have a room scene with the male and female character in it. Overall, the camera was shaking a little to notice so next time, we will us more of the tripod to create a crisp and edgy scene.
