CONTINUATION OF PROGRAMME CRITIQUE- TABASAMU BY ESTHER WEKESA

22/02/10
The start of this episode was a very striking establishing shot of a very classy hotel. The rest of the episode employed medium shots close up shots and full shots among many other camera shots, making the production of high quality. Lighting was also well used as the characters were visibly to the viewers.

In this episode I took time to evaluate the lighting aspect only. I realized it was well used to create specific moods in the production. This was clearly indicated when Maya’s friend was hospitalized silhouette lighting is used in this scene. Cameo lighting is also well used in shooting the out door productions.

I secluded this episode to critique the audio aspect of production. There was not much to audio as the work was well done. The characters could be well heard. However intriguing music was not used at the right time and place. Also the right music for various melancholic scenes was not properly coordinated.

This was the most exciting episode since it was evident that the crew was not prepared and the video was highly edited. The actors had not mastered their script and they kept stammering if not forgetting and confusing their lines. They kept looking at the floor manager to take orders of what to do. Shots of the camera were rapidly made that it was rather evident that armatures were operating the camera. The zoom in an out were quite abrupt and generally the production was of low quality.

Light and shadows were controlled appropriately. No hard shadows evident though a few mistakes pertaining the camera shots. Music and audio were both well synchronized and the production was of high quality however I was a bit concerned with how the programme ends it is so abrupt that it is so unexpected for by viewers. If only they would find a genuine ending point for the programme that would be much better.
