From a directors point of view, i feel as though this example of a cross cut was successful. It clearly shows various points of view of the same situation effectively, with continuity and consistency in both filming and acting. The idea of focusing an every day situation around the idea of a wild western shoot out was dramatic and effective, especially in building tension, which is commonly the aim of cross cuts. Personally, there are only few improvements i could make to thiS. The first would be the eye contact in the short video, which wasn't always complying to the eye line match rule, which ensures realism when it's needed. Also, i don't feel as though my editing in Premier Pro was entirely brilliant, as i found it difficult to time things like sound effects and zoom ins accurately for the impact i intended to create.
Overall, despite the flaws in the project, i think as a group we were successful in using our strengths in media to create a good, focused example.
