No

This footage was a lot better than the last, here the
character moves as if observing, however footage
may need to be cut due to it being too long.
Footage is well done and of clear quality however
its too long, so during editing it may need to be
cut or spilt in two scenes.
Great quality, however the camera is at a slight
angle and cuts of the characters body at a point,
also wind audio can be heard in the background.
Great quality, with great camera tracking however
the wind is very strong in this scene and can
interfere with shot.
Unwanted background is found in this scene where
the tripod is besides character, also character

towards Graces screams.

Yes

Camera could not pick up hand, however it could

be two separate scenes where everything is normal
and then the next shot could consist of showing the
hand through the phones reflection.
Camera found hand in phones reflection
effectively, completing our shot to a good
standard.
Excellent quality of footage which can be used for
our production.

the right side, leaving the camera shot.

A long shot of the path that

grace took, from the POV of
Abby.
POV of the phone looking up
at Grace as she walks
towards it.
POV from killer as she looks
at Grace about to pick up
phone.

Yes

Good quality shot of character looking straight

ahead, the unfocused background shows the
unfamiliarity of the location.
However scene was too steady so it doesnt look
like a POV shot from the character.
Good footage, especially how the character is seen
as unfocused from a far than walks into the shot
focused.
Ok footage with effective shaky shots as if the killer
is drawing nearer, however the shot is too quick
and walks in quite close to character.

Yes

Good quality shot capturing a focus pull well, the

angle the camera is in draws audience in closer.

Yes

00:05

Abby walks into shot next to

Ellie.

Yes

The focus pull captured here is very effect; the

camera captures this technique in a very
professional way.
The previous scene would need to be cut a bit to
show Abby walking into shot but overall a good
quality shot.

The footage was great and the zoom in was steady,

angling inwards towards the picture in a straight
shot.
The focus pull was hard to achieve in this shot.
