Creative Media Practice - Production Project Evaluation

In my last blog for Creative Media Production I want to talk about my presentation and how it went about my project production

Time Planning:

Images: My time planning I felt was just something I had to do when I could as I had to concentrate on other work and I also had work commitments that I could of done without having. I felt that doing my project that once I had finished it I would then be able to reflect about it in my presentation. I began by giving myself the weekend to collect my images for my main picture. Unfortunately I was unable to do this because of different reasons in the ground. I done all my research before had so I knew everything I wanted to do and include. After not being able to collect the image I didn’t want to use just any image off Google. Ian was kind enough to tell me that he had already done something similar and had a few images I would be able to use.

Shooting: I gave myself 2/3 days of shooting so I could ask different people that would be happy to be filmed and have something to say about the topic. In these days I wanted all my footage uploaded and ready for the fourth day so I could edit. I decided to use premier to edit my work, I felt this was the best idea for me as I had a better knowledge of it so it wasn’t as time consuming. If I was to shoot again I would have sorted dates and times with the people I was filming and collected some more footage to include. Maybe starting the project earlier would have worked better because I would have giving myself more time to reshoot any shots I needed to.

Location:

For my locations I really wanted to film in the ground so that it worked with what I was trying to produce. I think I worked with what I had and the people I had gathered then I would go to them and get what footage I need. I felt this was a downfall in my project because it would have really made the project overall. I feel I worked with what I could and still got the footage about what I wanted them to talk about.

QR codes:

I think this was the easiest aspect of the production project, I think if I was to create them again I would have not printed and stuck them on the image, I think this made it look less professional. I feel I should have used Photoshop to edit the QR codes into the seat so it looked like the QR codes where already embedded. Other than that I think this was easy enough to do and they all worked first time with no problems.

Presentation:

I think my presentation went really well and I think I explained everything I could in as much detail. I think if I had the opportunity to present again I would make more notes on things I would like to talk about and I would slow everything down, and find a way to cure my nerves. I really think this is a downfall for me because in front of people in bubbly and then on presentations its like in a different person.

Overall I think  if I had the opportunity to do it all again or expand on what I produced I would just fix everything up, I wouldn’t change my whole project because I think it worked well and it done what I wanted it to. I felt the videos could have been filmed using a different camera as I was a bit disappointed with the handheld one but I think it was a good chance to use it and gain a knowledge from it. My aim was to produce something that I feel could had been placed in a museum or maybe a bus stop where the bus route goes towards the ground. I think someone would enjoy looking at this before taking a trip there and experiencing it for themselves. I really enjoyed this project and would thoroughly enjoy doing it again!
