Project 7 - Evaluation
- 3. Research • When doing research, I researched into lots of similar products to my ideas and I based them off what I researched with my own twist of a story. • I used my research into to audience to try and find topics that would best make a story that would be enjoy to view and that my audience finds enjoyable and entertaining • I think my weakness for my research is I didn't research into other topics of topic meaning that I may not have found other videos to do with the product I'm using that people would enjoy watching. I also had a small audience for my research, and I could have expanded my audience
- 4. Planning • When planning I referenced back to existing product and used them a rough idea to make my product and used them as foundations to plan and brainstorm my product. I decided to record something that is unscripted and not planned and tell it as a story to the audience, through narration and other things. • I think the weakest thing I had when it came to planning is I'm heavily depending on that I get a good recording and that I have a story that I can tell. I had only a rough back-up plan, but I had no research about it so if I had to fall back onto it, I would have had real issues in the future.
- 5. Time Management • I spent my easter break recording the footage for my product, so that I wouldn't fall behind when doing work at college and I could spend as much time as I could on production. • I spent a couple weeks working on research and other power points for the product, getting them out of the way knowing that I could spend more time editing the video. As well as working on editing the video in my free time outside of college to spend as much time working on the video to make sure it is made to the highest quality
- 6. Technical Qualities • I'm happy with how the video tuned out I think that something that is short yet shows the rise of power of a force and how you become blind by negligence and that can lead to your downfall. I enjoy recording me playing I found that it was most enjoyable, I feel like it gave me the most creativity I had when I was making the project. It also made me feel like I could make something that I was happy to make and that I would personally enjoy to make. I also enjoyed editing the video, I found it something enjoyable as I hadn't done it in a long time, and I found it refreshing and different. But I think the main concept of the video relied heavly on me getting something that is worth a story and that would be entertaining for someone who has no clue about the topic to watch.
- 7. Aesthetic Qualities • I think that my work was creative and unique because it is a story that only I and my teammates/be I played with experienced, and I feel like I moulded it into a story that I care about. • I think I could improve it by making the in-game setting smoother as well as making the overall audio (people talking) more balanced as I did find myself having issues balancing clips of people talking and the in-game audio. For example, Bailey would be louder than Scott when he is talking, but I couldn't adjust that in the clip
- 8. Audience Appeal • I made a video about a story that people can relate to (maybe to something personal or some story they have heard before). I then made the video as suspenseful, and as action packed as I can. I used the info I had gathered from my research to guide me when I created the video to make something that I would target my target audience best. I think I was most appealing to my audience through action, I tried to show the most action-packed parts of my recording in the video to appeal to my audience
- 10. Feedback 1 • What did you like about the product? – I liked the fact that it quickly told us a story about how two friends built up power and became neglegant to all other threats to them until they we're blindsided by their ignorance • What improvements could have been made to the product? – I would have shown/told more about the story and what happened
- 11. Feedback 2 • What did you like about the product? – I liked the action in the product I found that the action parts of the video made the short video fun and enjoyable to watch • What improvements could have been made to the product? – I would have extended more on the action as well as the story I would have thought that having the story where we see the revenge of the people in the story
- 12. Feedback 3 • What did you like about the product? – I liked to moral of the story which was to not let power corrupt you and it makes you blind to things • What improvements could have been made to the product? – I would have expanded on the story more as I feel like it needs more development
- 13. Peer Feedback Summary • What do you agree with from your peer feedback? – I agree that I should have added more to the story and that it need to be devolped on more, but I wanted to make something short and easy to understand • What do you disagree with from your peer feedback? – I think that the quality of the footage shoul dhave been improved, I think I could have made it a lot better looking when I was recording the footage
- 14. Peer Feedback Summary I think I would change the quality of the footage and develop the story more, to the aftermath and events leading up to the true end of the story (our revenge). I would also add more stuff to the video when editing the video
