Preliminary Exercise - drug deal gone bad




During our lesson today we were editing our video what we made for our project. our video was about a drug deal going wrong. what happened during this scene was that as the drugs were getting sold i took a picture as they were doing it so i basically caught them. This was very interesting because it makes the audience want to know what's going to happen next for example they may wonder what i am going to do with the picture whether I'll show it to someone so they get in trouble right away or will i blackmail them.

During this clip i think we have our advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages are:

1. It is edited very well
2. Catches the audiences attention
3. Good use of dialogue
4. Unpredictable

The Disadvantages are:
1. Unintentional jump cut
2. the sound was okay but not the best quality because there was no mics.

During this video we made a huge mistake by using jump cuts which made our project look non realistic, this is a huge disadvantage because our film is meant to look realistic so that the audience would believe its true and they would be more interested. If there was no jump cut then this would look more realistic which will catch the audience's attention. Also during this video we located it in a classroom and we had many props, two of these props were the fake drugs and the camera catching them in the act.
