LO2: Rushes Evaluation of Segment Rushes

Screenshots of Edits







Setting Up Appropriate Equipment
Within the video it is evident that the appropriate recording equipment is set up. This can be seen from how stationary the camera is, showing that it is attached to a tripod. The tripod was used to keep the camera still and make the final product look more professional. 

Our correct use of equipment is also evident through the use of camera lenses. The appropriate lenses were acquired to give a full, wide-angle view of the set and other visuals. Shot composition was arranged to present the viewer with clearly visible shots of the required subjects; again, this knowledgeable approach to how equipment is used makes the completed product appear more professional.

Following Script/Storyboard
The storyboard and script were provided as evident through previous blogger posts. Pre-production documentation was prepared, allowing us to clearly and effectively film content; This is noticeable through certain shot types which share many similarities with the content shown on the storyboard and script, which also demonstrates how planning, apart from a few developments, has been followed to complete the final film. Developments and alterations were necessary due to new, creative ideas and/or unforeseen circumstances. One example of this is that the display table was smaller and a different shape to what imagined it to be, which caused the floor to be as visible in pieces of footage, especially panning shot; This issue was resolved through close-ups and editing shots to be bigger, cutting out edges where the floor was visible.
There is also proof that planning was followed, as we had no concern about the footage's background because we initially decided that other audio would replace it. 

Following Safe Working Practices
Safe working practices were followed correctly and can be observed through the written risk assessment, which cautiously anticipated any possible dangers when working on this project. As a precaution when filming, we cleared the surrounding area or working space of cables and any other possible tripping hazards.  

Following Production Processes
We followed to the production processes by acting upon the storyboards and other pre-production on site. Evidence of this is how errors and unanticipated positioning were changed on site if they were not suitable or were not as anticipated. 

Fit For Purpose
The work process (explained above) meant that our content created during these rushes is suitable for a magazine show. In our rushes we have set up appropriate equipment and suitable settings. 

It is also fit for purpose since this is a magazine show where the theme is video games, and the genre is clear by how we have gaming related prizes (controller thumb pads for video game systems) and have used the studio set which is looks like a typical magazine show set related to gaming. The prizes relate directly to the purpose of the show being a gaming related show allowing the user directly interact with the show achieving its purpose as a magazine show following typical styles and conventions.

Another example of how our product is fit for purpose is that it used suitable equipment to create professional looking footage of the highest quality making the footage used fit for purpose. Some of the shot compositions can show how the final product has produced a professional standard due to the appropriate equipment used creating a piece that's suitable fits the styles and conventions of a magazine show, we have followed these conventions through are pre-existing knowledge of magazines shows and adding our ideas to the storyboard

It is also evident that meaning is enhanced through the rushes; this is because we used planning to set up the equipment to clearly show the audience the prizes. This created a suitable image, which creates a suitable and presentable tone to the show, this is also re-enforced through the shots used, using zooms and panning shots, which are all shot types that would be traditional used when showcasing items. Therefore we have followed the conventions of magazines shows and making it fit for purpose.
