1 minute video evaluation

Q1: What have you learned during the making of your preliminary task?

•Technical aspects: (Editing software) I  have learnt how to import clips from my documents onto premier pro. I am also able to select the clips I prefer, arrange them in order and cut some of the sections. I have learnt how to add effects to the clips to complete a smooth transaction. Also I have know how to brighten up my clips, and to slow them down and to speed up. Finally, I can export my final edit ready to be uploaded.

•Management of time: From completing this task I have learnt that I can manage my time reasonably, my group planned everything out step by step the first couple of weeks so that we had an understanding on what we needed to do and who was doing what. Our next stage was to get all of the clips together over 2 days, this left us with a week to edit the video and add sound. Overall my time management proved to be a success as our task was completed on time.

•Group work:  I have learnt that I can work well within my group to share any ideas that I think would be effective in our final piece. We all communicated very well with each other and all did our jobs that we assign each other successfully.

Areas of success.

•In our group we planned the task out very well, at the start our group did a story board on what we are going to include into the video and who is going to do each part, also we planned out which other people we would need to help us by taking part in our video.

•Another thing that went really well was that we managed our time very well to make sure we had a finished product on the deadline. 

Areas for development.

•In our group the only thing we all struggled on together was editing the video because it is new to us all. We all tried doing different things on the programme and it ended up quite well but still has room for improvement which we will keep practicing to make sure its better each time.

Feedback from others.

•3 good things.

The use of good shots including ECU and establishing shot.

Two different songs that go well together and switch over well.

Clever ideas from the story board.

3 things to improve.

A wider range of camera shots could be used.

Use of editing to improve the video

Make the sound cross over a lot smoother.
