Evaluation questions

How successful was your product?

I feel that my product was very successful as I think that my product looks very similar to the original on my comparison video. The video that me and my peers chose which is Lorde – Tennis Courts, we thought it was going to be a pretty simple and easy a task but when it came round to putting it together, it took a lot of time and planning and also adjusting the lights which was the key feature in this video as this was the main focus and effect.

What did you learn from carrying out this process?

I learnt a lot whilst completing my product. The main thing I learnt was that it took a lot of planning and thinking before actually filming my video; such as getting the equipment together, booking out the green room and also putting together Ambers makeup and hair which took time, so I have learnt that I need to ensure that I allow extra time for planning ahead. I also have learnt I need to be fully organised when doing this task and plan everything I possibly can and also think of all possibly things that could go wrong and to make other options available just in case. I also learnt how to do certain editing for example flipping the video over and also cutting it shorter as it was too long.

What would you do differently?

If I could do this task differently I think I would plan ahead more and structure the filming a little bit better as we had trouble with the sound as we need 3 different phones as we needed one for the lighting to watch the original video so we know when to dim the lighting and another phone so Amber could copy Lorde on her actions and lip singing, and also another one to play the music on so we all get the right timing. I think also I could change the song that we choice so that we have more chance to edit to practice for our second year so when it comes to completing the main task of creating the video we know and have experimented much more on the editing side of this task.

What skills do you feel you now have from carrying out this project?

I feel that I have many more skills from completing this task such as working with the camera and setting up the equipment and lighting correctly. I also feel that I have gains skills to work as a team, because we all was assigned different tasks to focus on separately then come together and bringing our ideas together to create the final product.
