Complete Video
Throughout my project I would document my progress with my project onto my digital space and comparing my progress back to my original proposal. I could’ve been more thorough with my evaluation as my project went on, it would’ve allowed me to have a more thorough project.
With the evaluation I did do while working on my project helped me make some decisions on the final outcome of the video, for example what content remained in the final video like the RWBY section, I saw how the examples from my research worked and upon comparing I felt like that section wouldn’t have fit, as well as looking at my initial target audience. Although I do feel like my evaluation process throughout my project could’ve been more consistant.
Despite having issues with the production process I feel I have met my aims. I have made a video that I feel is both entertaining and inf0rmative, able to give people a different perspective. Also able to replicate the videos that have inspired me but putting my own style and take onto them.
My work in comparison to my research is like an amalgamation of the different parts I researched, taking the specific parts I researched and used the methods and styles I had researched to make my own video.
Based upon my original idea and presentation the end result is different in ways than what was proposed. I feel my original proposal wasn’t as focused as the end result, I focused on actual examples and my idea felt more refined and specific in the final result.
I feel that my video appeals to my target audience, with my target audience being based upon the target audience for my research examples I feel that since I was able to successfully replicate they style of their videos It will appeal to the same target audience.
The skills I’ve learnt over this course I feel are reflected in this project, with my audio recording skills from the podcast task, knowing which microphone to use and how to best record and edit the audio in a similar way to how I edited my podcast. As well as video shooting, getting framing and lighting correct and ensuring there’s no noise on screen. I feel that this project I’ve worked on is a good encapsulation of my skills I had before the course and the skills I was able to learn on the course and I am proud of how it turned out.
I think that if I where to do this again I’d storyboard the video, so that I’d have a loose plan of how the Finalised project would look and to be able to plan if there was anything that needed removing or adding, as well as being able to see if any more clips or images needed adding.
If I were to rate my commitment and engagement for this project I’d say it was at an 8/10. My reasoning is that this project was Important to me, I gave it as much energy and focus as I could but given things out of my control and my own focus levels there where still points where my amount of work and energy being put in wasn’t 100% and there were points in the project where I’d become disinterested.
I feel that I’ve shown a near professional level for my video editing. While there where things that could be improved upon, given the fact I had to learn a new editing software, I was able to produce a good final outcome, overcoming issues with my editing software finding out how it worked and by the end of the project being well on the way to mastering it. The final edit I’ve put out I feel is close to matching some other video essays of the same style that are on YouTube.
I believe that I have been successful in completing the task I set out to do. I feel that I concurred adversaries and issues that were posed to me along the way and was able to produce a comedic style video essay like I set out to do. I’m happy with the script I wrote, I feel it encapsulated the points I wanted to make and the way I wanted to make them. I feel my performance in getting to this final stage could’ve been better and more professional however I do feel that the way I have completed my task has sufficed for the end goal I have accomplished.
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.
