What was some feedback that you received from other groups?
Many groups told us that the colour correction in our preliminary task was very good and was one of the best things we did in our video . We increased the saturation and the light intensity which made the colours seem slightly brighter . This is a way of enticing the audience to continue watching because its unusual and different . The same colour was used continually throughout which meant there wasn't a continuity error to do with this .
We were also told that a strength of our preliminary task was the upbeat music at the end. This music comes on as we all walk out the door. The music fits in well with the name "Party Talk". Parties are usually meant to be a loud, upbeat place where there is lots of dancing . We added this music to create a lively effect . Groups told us that it made the video seem more exciting.
We were also told that the rolling script at the end and the fading in/out title at the start made the video seem realistic and very creative .
Some groups told us that the overall video was edited well, however we could have been more creative and open minded about the storyline instead of picking something basic to follow . They said we should've been more creative and imaginative as this would've led us to explore different things.
We were also told that we could've made it slightly longer as our video was snappy, short and over very quickly, approximately a minute . We didn't manage to squeeze in a 180 degree rule shot either and we missed out some camera angle shots because of the timing and how quick it was over .
Another negative was that apparently you couldn't hear us very well in the video. This comment will encourage us to be louder in future videos that we will make, however it could have been a camera recording fault.
Evaluate your contribution to the groups work
As a member of this group, I had quite a few contributions towards our preliminary task video. The first included actually starring in the filming as a main character and helping come up with the ideas needed to make our work the best it could possibly be. I was extremely flexible with this and was open to new ideas, and ways we could improve the task even more. I have learned how to stay confident in front of the camera when being filmed, which is a key skill to have in media as you are constantly filming and creating new video tasks . My one key criticism of this part of the task would definitely be that although we were confident with the camera, there is potential to be better and more flexible with the camera without stuttering, giggling, wasting time and forgetting what to say.
Another contribution towards the preliminary task that I made was editing the video . This was my favourite part as it allowed me to be creative, explore different techniques and become familiar with the software we were using. I used the software Adobe Premiere Pro to do this and managed to add slide transitions, rolling credits at the end , opening titles and altering the saturation/colour of our mise-en scene. The skill I have gained from this is definitely the ability to edit videos whether that includes changing certain aspects of the clip, adding certain/different effects or cutting out pieces of film that weren't of any use or relevant to keep. This will benefit me greatly in the future when I come to use the software again. It has enabled me to go a certain depth by exploring the basic editing techniques . This will now allow me to explore and develop better editing techniques for future videos as I am now familiar with how the software works and how to use it .
