Preliminary Evaluation

Evaluation of: Mobile Phone DocumentaryBY TOM ESKINS

Strengths Interview framed correctly; Off centre, medium close up, subject looking at the camera rather than the interviewee.

All questions edited out correctly and answers made sense on their own.

No background noise is heard in the interview.

Cutaways used are relevant to the topic.

Cutaways mainly hide jump cuts.

Interviewee is sat on a legged chair.

Weaknesses Music bed used is slightly too loud and song choice has lyrics which are distracting for the audience.

Song choice also has explicit language.

Background of the interview is boring and also reflective.

One jump cut left in the final product.

Cutaways are very similar.

Interview is distracted by item in their hands.

Some Cutaways contain very cluttered backgrounds.

Some shots are slightly wobbly and out of focus.

Mobile phones used in Cutaways are hindered by the screen brightness meaning they are un readable on camera.
