The Prisoner Final Cut


Here is our video which was made by the group and consisted of me, Craig Mullen and Peter Chivers. Throughout the production, we encountered a few problems. Some shots were missing which were so simple like actors entering the room or establishing shots which lack certain continuity elements (one including with me with my hands in my pockets but a second later I didn't). We also picked up a lot of diegetic noise when filming certain scenes s we had to think up a work around which we did by playing some music over the top. It in fact added a much better atmosphere to our film, creating a somewhat creepy and fearful tone as the character who is the integrator walks towards an apparently abandoned area which contains the prisoner. Also, our interrogation scene was nicely filmed by Peter which gave a very good atmosphere with the low angle, focusing on the prisoner while Number Two is in the background who is much higher to show the difference in power between the two. So overall, we did a decent job at filming our scene but simple problems like missing shots and less planning brought it down. It does however, show us what we need to improve on for our next project and make it much better then our last.

  1. You've gone into a good level of detail here, Peter - some useful analysis and a good sense of awareness. Well done. I very much like your opening shot - a shame the camera moves, since it's quite evocative. I see what you mean about the continuity (the hands between 0.35 and 0.37!). The framing of the two-shot is excellent, although you have some scope here to use a couple of close-ups, particularly for the pay-off lines. Some good ideas, though.
