Evaluation

I have made a video about being individual and how women don’t need to change themselves to fit in and that they can still be themselves.

My first idea was based on a person going for an interview and not getting the job because if their looks. That idea was too difficult to act out with what I had, so I needed to change my idea and I came up with the individuality idea. It still has a similar idea but the whole set out is different. Also I was not going to have any sound other then the laughs at the end of the film. However as I was editing the film I decided that it would be better with a soundtrack as it would tie the piece together more.

I think that my audience understood my idea of the film because all the questionnaires have the same reason and it is the one that I intended. That people can be individual.

Next time I would have better camera skills as some of the shots were a little shaky and not as smooth as they could have been. The lighting changed at the end because I had used two cameras and the first did not have white balance.

Strengths in my video and instillation I felt was that meaning. It was a good idea and each person asked understood. So that meant that the meaning was clear. Also the soundtrack was a strength; it was made on garage band. The audio was meant to be the laugh at the end and that was it; however music made it more complete. My audience all mentioned the sound as something they liked. I think it was edited well and all the relevant parts filmed were put in and in correct order.

Weaknesses of my film, was mainly the filming. My first camera when it filmed something, the play back was jumpy. I had to get a new camera and film the scene again. This time I had done white balance. The lighting was different because the first camera had no white balance. When on the computer the footage was fine so I used it for the ending to my film as it was the best footage of the scene. Also my filming is a bit shaky and not as smooth as it could have been.

In conclusion I think my idea was good and people seemed to understand and enjoy it. My weaknesses can be worked on and improved for next time.

Production.

I did all my filming on Wednesday 26th November. I could have been done earlier, however my first scene didn’t play back correctly on the camera. The tape was new, so I thought the camera was the problem. When it was played back on the camera the picture was jumpy and didn’t play right. So I got a new camera and re-did the scene that I had shot. Afterwards my filming when to plan. The only other problem was the actresses; at times they were not concentrating and laughed a lot so the filming took longer then planned.
When I filmed with the first camera it did not have white balance. The second one does so at one point in the film the lighting is different.

Post-production.

Originally my film was going to have no sound; however I decided that as I made my film it would be better with music played over the top. I had lots of scenes with laughing and times where the people were not paying attention. I had to edit all these out. I found that the editing went well put I did have to cut out a lot. I didn’t have many problems with editing. The only thing was the white balance before where the lighting is different and I can’t edit it out.
