MY MOBILE PHONE DOCUMENTARY EVALUATION

By Jack Ettinger

MY STRENGTHS

• My strengths are that Their is a good variety of shots in my documentary. The song is relevant to the theme and topic of the documentary. There is good light in my documentary. Good uses of graphics. Some of the cutaways were relevant to the answers. The camera is eye level.

• My strengths are that the interviewee was looking of the camera and to the left of the frame. She gives good answers and rephrases or repeats the questions. The editing from the interviews to the cutaways has clean cuts. The documentary follows well. The Title and the end sequences are framed well and the right lengths .

MY WEAKNESSES • My Weaknesses are that the song was to loud at times. Fades in to fast. The

camera work was eye level in the interviews. Their were long pauses. The background for the interview doesn’t relate to the topic. Their is lack of variety in the cutaways, as they mostly feature the same people in the same location. The cutaways are to long or to short .Their are jump cut to and from a interview clip.

• My weaknesses are that a cutaway is out of focus. The microphone is visible in the interviews. The camera is in the opening title and ending in the phones reflection. The graphics are to big. The interviewee looked at the camera .The sound level in the interview as her responses go from to quiet ,to loud. The music from the dance studio started at the end on the interview. The camerawork is tilted in the interviews.
