Eastenders

Evaluation:

This movie was a clip from Eastenders. It was a typical scene from a TV soup because it used different types of camera shots which a normal TV soap would use. Also the way the scene was set out was like a normal TV soup as well; i.e. the telephone was on the wall like a typical soup etc. We used 3 different camera angles these were; mid shot, close shot and reverse shot; we used all of these shots because these were in the real version of Eastender and by us having the same camera angels it would make it seem more realistic. The film we did was very accurate too the real version in my view; we used all the camera shots that the real version did. Also we had most of the rite lines in the scene as well this would of added how close are version is to the real version. We had a few weaknesses and strengths these were;

Strengths
• Worked really well as a team and made sure we did all the work to a high standard.
• We did all the camera shots correct and to a good standard.
• We edited it quite well with music at the start and at the end.

Weaknesses
• It took us quite long to do the camera shots therefore leaving us less time to edit it the video.
• The acting we did was not as good as we wanted it to be; so if I had to improve it I would re-take some of the bits to make it look professional.

I have learnt a little bit about mise en scene; I Know that It literally means staging. It is the way in which the elements in the film are arranged by the camera. We had 1 lighting in are film and that was from the outside; we did think a little bit about the lighting; because in the real version it was all natural light so we decided to have natural light in ours as well to make it more realistic. I have learnt as well by me doing this film that it is important to make it continues; if it is not continues nobody watching it will get what is happening in the soup. As well as soaps are all about continuity and we need to follow this rule to make it seem as close as the real version. One only thing that could have been better in are soap was the editing; we had not much time to edit it because the filming took us so long so we had to rush this therefore it was not as good as it should have been. If we had enough time to edit it properly we would have proper scene changes and the proper eastenders opening with music.
