Film Composition Reflection

My film composition certainly had some weak points that could use some work. The camera work was distracting in a few instances. Particularly, in the leading lines clip, the zoom caused the image to get out of focus. Next time, we can try to test the zoom beforehand so that we can be sure we get a clear shot throughout. Our informal balance shot was also shaky and partially cut off one of our heads. We can fix this by taking our time to check if the camera is able to include all the elements we need.

The editing was also problematic in some instances. The titles could've been the same font to offer a more unified look. I also felt that some of the editing of the clips was abrupt and did not turn out as expected. For instance, the framing shot was intended to include pushing our prop out of the shot as the ending, but this couldn't happen because the five seconds were used up with the other action. This also relates back to our camera work and planning, as the walking portion took longer than expected. This can fixed by planning better and reshooting if necessary. Lastly, the video ends without a black background. Adding the black background to the end would allow the video to fade out rather than quickly stop without warning.
