self-assessment questionnaire

Today we finished editing for our video, while editing we had trouble and had to change it to make the animation better. The good things about the animation was it was over 10 seconds long and had decent music to fit the animation. The bad things about the animation was we didn't use clay and certain sound effects didn't work well so we had to change it.

We could improve the animation by adding better sound effects and also add a better song to make it more appealing to the target audience. The feedback we recived from people who watched the animation and said it was funny and humours but they said that the music was over the top and would be better if we changed it. half of the people who watched it said they liked it and the other half said it wasn't appealing to them and wouldn't watch it if it was on a channel.

After the feedback we received, we then changed certain things like animal sound effect and the music to make it fit the animation. After we did the changes the people said it was more improved and better, and also appealed to them.

Self-assessment questionare

My role throughout the production was the editor to put all the clips together to make a short advert. My team worked and contribute well and we didn't have no problems with anything when planning and filming. When the group reviewed the footage we thought of ways that we could improve the transitions from scene to scene. If we had the opportunity to repeat the filming we would go into more detail with the sound.

Professionally I conducted myself by sticking to my role as the editor and everyone was happy with there roles in the group. The quailty of the sound used in the advert was good in most parts and helped make the advert better. To improve it for next time have more sounds. We could of improved some of our shots by having a tripod to help the shots. The limitations of using a single camera on a shoot was a lot of movement from scene to scene and also you can't see if other angles work. If we had another camera to shoot we could do it in one single take and could compare different angles to see if they work any better.

The types of programmes most likely to use a single camera as opposed to multi cameras would be documentary, films with a low budget and blogs. The things I have learned from this exercise of making a video production is that you got to compromise if things didn't work and also team work and knowing the program being used. We recorded and communicated ideas by talking to the group and bouncing ideas around. We were effective and successful with different methods and skills we used to generate and develop ideas with planning and filming and also had no issues with the group.
