Evaluation

During this project i discovered my strengths and weaknesses.

Strength i discovered were

  • Coming up with creative ideas for example the different camera shots we used as we thought it was more effective.
  • Being flexible with each other for example working round our different time tables.
  • Our planning as we went into detail and also evidenced it on our blog through out the project so we didn't forget what we had done that day.
  • I thought that when were working together that we was a good team as we helped each other out and instead of us doing the same thing at the same time we worked on different things for example Harriet would go out and film and i would be in the editing room looking at the footage we had to see if it was enough.
  • I developed more on editing as i wasn't that confident in the start.
  • I thought that we had a good partnership with our client.
Weaknesses

  • I thought we could of been more organised then we might of not had to rush our work so we could of hit the ideas more that our client gave to us.
  • I could of been more professional when it came to work with our client
  • That we wanted more shots with the students working in the classes as it would of made our video more effective. This could of been due to our lack of time.
  • I think that i should of got more involved into the project had more commitment.
Next time i work on a project i would be more organised with my work as the outcome to not doing this we fell behind and had a lot of work to do at once. I would also be more professional when i work with a client as its not fair on them as they are giving up there time for us and we should of respected that more. Also with the organisation we would of made time to more of our ideas so that would definitely be something i would do in my next project.
What i discovered in this project is that i have lots of creative ideas, i enjoy working this way and i am thinking that i would like to do something based on that in the future. I also noticed in this project that my planning is really good and that i go into great detail about how i want things to be but in this project i didn't follow it through which next time i will.

We showed our finished product to our client and Sarah said that she really liked our video and i asked some questions:

  • what do you think we could improve on?
Sarah said that she liked the video and the only couple of things she would of done would of been put a list of courses in the video and to have more of the beauty side of it instead of the hair side. And the music that we used was really calm and she said she liked that but that is more beauty more than hair as beauty it is more relaxed and hair is more manic as in the environment they have. So i came up with an idea that we could do separate videos for example we would to a promotional video on hair and then another one for beauty but we would join them together so the could loop on the television.

  • do you think we promoted oasis well?
Sarah said that we did promote oasis really well and she is very pleased.

  • what do you think our strengths were making the video?
Sarah said that our strengths were the ideas we used for the video for example the camera angles we have used. And the use we made of the new salons showing them off as they are modern and up to date.

  • how do you intend to use this video as promotional material?
She said that she was going to put it on the television in reception and distribute the video to schools so the pupils can watch it.

  • will we need a budget for that?
She said that was a good question and yes we will she is going to work it out and how many copies she wants then she will get back to us.
