Evaluation of Another Group's Preliminary

I am evaluating Hannah Hall’s groups preliminary. I think that the first shot of the character walking down the stairs is very good as they use the close up very effectively. I noticed throughout the short film that we did not see the characters face. It was unclear whether this was on purpose or not. I think that as the length of the film is very short, it was not very effective to not see the characters face. For the purpose of the film, it was a better idea to show the characters face. There is also a dissolve in the middle of the film which doesn’t have any real effect to the film. I also think they were better off not having this part in the film.
There are two uses of match on action. The second one use is a good match on action as it is clear that she is entering the same room that was when she the other side of the door. Also the editing was good, as it was hard to see where the cut was from. The first match on action was not as good as the first as first as it was the same door used. It was also not a direct shit of the character walking through the door.
The overall video was good as it stuck to the rules that were set at the start. It used the 180 degree rule, match on action and shot/reverse shot. The shot were all used well because in the conversation at the end, the eye lines matched up so it was clear that they were looking at each other.
