Evaluation of 'The Prisoner'

Evaluation of 'The Prisoner'


I am proud of the way my 'The Prisoner' video turned out and there are a few things that I particularly liked about it but there also things I would change and wished I had noticed and thought about before and during filming.


Strengths of 'The Prisoner'


  • 00:00 - I used an estabolishing shot as my opening to set the scene of my video.
  • 00:03 - The use of titles at the begining of my video is effective 
  • 00:14 - I used a tracking shot by getting the actors to walk along the road whilst my mam drove beside us and Bethany shot it
  • 00:57 - I think this shot is particularly effective of Bethany walking through the woods

  • 01:17 - This over head shot is also effective as it indicates that the 'Number Six' is voulnerable

  • 01:50 - The way I have edited the car coming into the yard works and flows really well
  • 02:24 - effective over the shoulder shot puts you right in the centre of what is happening.
  • 02:59 - I really like this shot


Weaknesses of 'The Prisoner'

  • 00:19 - tracking shot becomes a bit jerky
  • 00:40 - The fade between the titles and the main film is too short
  • 01:09 - the shot appears to be blurry but the day I shot the footage it was raining and there was condensation on the lens that remained after I tried to remove it

  • 01:27 - Fade is too fast
  • 01:29 - first few seconds of this shot are out of focus
  • 02:24 - I made a mistake in this shot by leaving my bag on the work bench

  • 02:28 - In the background of this shot there is a gap in the mise-en-scene as there is a notice about holidays
