Evaluation

Our team worked very well together, we had constant communication, we kept each other frequently updated, and we also let each other handle different aspects of the filming ahead of time so we had a game plan and knew what to do.

My partner made sure to do all of the filming, including booking out the equipment and getting a location and someone to interview.

Meanwhile I ended up doing all of the editing, so in the end we both did half of the work, she did the filming and I did the editing.

I feel we personally hit the brief, out advert is one minute and two seconds long (two seconds over the preferred time) so we were very close to our target. We asked the appropriate questions, most of which were included in out presentation from task 1. We also made sure that the music was appropriate in tone and made sense, we then added the right clips over certain parts so it had more to look at as opposed to just footage of someone sat and answering questions.

Personally I feel that where we went wrong was only during the editing but due to the filming, it seemed that the clip we had used had some visual bugs with it, such as some pixilated moments and we are not sure why that is exactly. To counteract this, we put some clips over the footage as to try and make it seem like it's not so visually distorted. This actually made our advert seem less dull and bland by comparison, so it stopped the visual issue with the clip (odd since the audio was perfect).






Here is two bits of feedback, one of which was a perfect rating (which I would partially disagree), and one which is a tad more detailed.

When I said I would disagree, I mean in the sense that, we barely had any shots, as in, we had one, personally I feel we really needed more than just one long drawn out take, granted we made it work out in the editing process but it was risky since we couldn't re-shoot.

I also feel that our editing wasn't perfect but it was better than just slapping the one thing we shot and exporting it as a film, I feel we handled it fine.
