So this is the evaluation for my project What The Vegan
I think I am happy with my project because of the editing I have done in the final recording although there was errors in recording it like for example the audio levels not being right before recording and the camera not working as intended.
The things I have changed throughout my project was the way I was going to do my which originally it was going to be a 30 minute documentary but instead due to time and more ease I decided to turn it into a one to one interview with myself and the camera I was using because this way it would be easier to edit and would not take long to get it out and into the public for people to view because having a public opinion on my project would have gave me different thoughts, feelings and ideas to expand in the future and make more projects.
The negatives in my project was very clear throughout my project when I first wanted to do the documentary idea I was looking for camera people when other people doing their projects have started recording and the only thing I had for my project then was a 7 minute interview with my friend. the second negative in my project was the problem with audio I then learned from my tutors in college how to edit audio levels.
I have been researching vegan documentaries and I have found one that I would compare mine to the one I am comparing to is a vegan documentary called SLAY which is a vegan documentary about fashion where it follows investigative filmmaker Rebecca Cappelli as she travels the world uncovering some of fashion’s best kept secrets.
The things that are different to my vegan product is that the producers have a budget of £120k. where as with me I have nothing and are starting with the bare minimum, they also have the ability to travel to different regional area where as I am stuck in one area. They also have a kick starter with £77,713 raised already to get to the goal £120k again.
They also Have a larger production and editing team but on the other hand it is only me as the director, editor and actor.
Also in the documentary description it is stated the vegan documentary is about fashion and a deep dive into the dark side of which most products of made out off animals where as mine is a mixed of topics within the vegan world such as: the different type of vegans, animal cruelty in the United Kingdom and protests which we need to hear more about as explained in my recording of my project.
The things I would do differently in the future is to get more people involved in my next project, try and find a budget mainly around the £2,000 range and enter a competition showing my next project.
I confirm that the attached assessment is all my own work and does not include any work completed by anyone other than myself and sources have been appropriately referenced.
