Preliminary Task Evaluation 04/12/15 -

Preliminary Task McGuffin  - 

Audio:
The audio is acceptable and we have input various other sound effects. Although, there are a few moments where the sound could be slightly louder but this can be fixed in 'Premiere Pro' during the editing process.

Video:
The video camera used was a 'Sony Handycam HDR-SR7'. The video is, for the most part, good. However, there a few scenes especially the over the shoulder shots that are out of focus. To improve this we will be practicing the shots with the correct composition in the studio in preparation to re-shoot on the date of Tuesday 8th December.

Additionally, there was some outside footage that we wanted to re-shoot but due to weather conditions we have been unable to.

Lighting:
We used 'Soft Box' lights with the settings on '1/8' to create an eerie atmosphere but we also needed enough light to show the characters within the scene, therefore, this was a happy compromise.

Improvement: 
We re-shot our video footage on Tuesday 8th December to replace the blurry footage. We will be editing the final footage on Premier Pro on the date of Friday 11th December.
