  1. All of the required criteria are there however it looks abit like you broke the 180 degree rule at one point but it is good that you included them all, it seems like Greg is walking for too long at the start and it gets abit boring at the start because of this. There arent any noticable continuity errors, well done.

  2. Your use of titles was really good, and also you used a range of shots and included all of the continuity elements which were required. The only things I would say are that the sound goes a bit crackly when Greg walks through the door, and the lighting is a bit dull in places. Also, a lot of the video is of Greg walking. Other than that, I really liked the ending, it was funny:).

  3. i didnt really get the storyline of this video, there could have been less walking at the begining, but over all this video meets all the criteria, well done.

  4. This video is very good, however i think at the beginning Greg is walking for a little too long and it gets boring. Apart from that I cant see any continuity errors, well done.

  5. Camera was a little shaky when following Greg down the path however your not really at fault for that as its hard to do and wouldnt be possible to do properly without proper, expensive equiptment. The shot where it looks like Greg is being watched by someone from in the bushes is a good shot and looks very effective however it takes a long time to get into any of the action which lets the video down a little bit. Continuity is clearly shown when Greg walks through the door which is good however the shot after this looks a little bit dark and I found it hard to watch. The noise of the door was also very loud. All in all the video was reasonably fun to watch and quite funny so well done.

  6. This was really well put together and i liked the ending. I think Greg at the beginning is walking to long and drags on also the writing at the start does not stay on long enough to be able to read it. But the way the titles are positoned was very well done and the range of shots. There was no continuity errors, well done

  8. XD phaha by far the best of them all, great story line but what's with the minute and a half of just Gregory walking? You should have spent more time on the action then on the walking. The camera was also really shakey when Gregory was walking and the camera was following him. However the shots with Oliver and William where great and I couldn't find any continuity errors in it :) <3 sgt pepper productions FTW :)

  9. I think that apart from the minute and a half of pointless walking, this video was filmed really well. There are no continuity errors that I can see which is good and you seemed to have met the criteria well. :) I liked how the titles seemed to follow Greg as he walked but didn't really know what they said. The rest of the video was fun to watch and very entertaining but the storyline could have been made a bit more clear. Who were William and Oliver meant to be? Why were you chasing them? Other than that the video seemed to be put together really well and you can tell a lot of time and effort was put into it. Well done :)

  10. Opening shot/ reverse works well. An interesting range of shots and angles are used here; the sound is also quite reasonably edited. Framing is well-considered. At 1.12/1.13, after Greg walks past the cars, the 180 rule is sort of broken (it appears that Greg exits right and enters left, although the angle is deceptive). More obviously, the light is different between these shots (although again you could argue that he has stepped into shadow). The action match as Greg enters the dooe works well, although as Cal has said, you may need to watch the light in shots like this. You can seem James reflected in the window at about 1:41 (although the camera-work is generally very good). A slight glitch at 1:42 (Greg has begun to turn during the previous shot, then finished the turn at the start of the next). Slight audio glitch at 1:55 - editing is a little too imprecise and you lose the start of the line. In general, the continuity matches work well, although there are some issues with light and the mix (you could consider cross-fading the audio in order to make the edits a little less obvious). Overall, an inventive response which included all the elements required by the brief.

  11. This was good video and very funny i would agree that greg did walk for a long time at the beginning but it did add atmosphere to the video. There was good use of shots and included the required shots as well, it would have been good if you could have filmed more with the two henchmen and greg to finish it off but overall good video well done.

  12. A great moive by your group. All the aspects of the continuity task were there and it was very funny towards the end. The reverse shot was excellently done and the action match was clear but I agree it was a little slow at the beginning and sometimes it looked like the 180 was broken a couple of times but still it was a very good video.

  13. I think the walking part it a bit too long and when Greg walks through the door the sound was a bit windy.Your video got great storyline and very intersting. Well done!!

  14. I think this was an overall good video. However i was almost falling asleep by the tim some action came as greg had walked a marathon. Also who are oliver and william meant to be? There wasnt any help for us to discover who they are and why you were chasing them. However it was entertaining in the last part and you followed the criteria well done :)
