Evaluation for my Video Profile.
I was set a task to produce and edit a video profile about my goals, my aspirations and myself. I was very excited and enthusiastic to complete this task as I found it really challenging and because it was set during the end of the term, I figured that it was a really nice way of reflecting my two years at The City Of Westminster College.
What I think went well was the visual quality of the video and I think that the Sony SLR camera I used to film played a huge part in the quality. At first I pretty much doubted my editing skills. I knew that using any editing software was one of my weak points. However, I started using a new editing software called ‘Sony Vegas’ and I found It much more easier to use than ‘Final Cut Pro’. I think that the way I cut most of my shots went quite well however I could have added more insert shots of my lips or legs moving as I wrote in my script. What also went well were the timing and the location. I just about filmed it before the sun went down in my back garden and was worried that I would have had a few interruptions, however this didn’t happen and it was a successful 1 hour and a half of filming!
What pleased me about making the video was that it was enjoyable, which motivated me more to get it done. My friend also helped me film a few sections of the video profile which I was very pleased about because having to get up in every shot and sit back down in the same spot wasted a lot of time. The equipment I used pleased me too. When I first starting thinking about how to film my video profile I had an idea to do it on my webcam at home, but as I started to film I started to think that I could do a much better job. Therefore I took out an SLR and better equipment at the college.
The aspects of the final video that I am most pleased about is the feedback I had got from my classmates. Amir said ‘It made him want to cry’ when he saw his picture on my video profile. It made me smile; it will definitely be a video to look back on in a few years time.
Although I am very proud of my video profile I know that there is a lot I could improve on if I had another chance. There were a few shots towards the end that I was not pleased with at all and part of it was because the way I was sitting did not compliment the camera shot. Another thing that I know I could really improve on is the sound quality. I did not use the microphone to my full advantage and over estimated its ability and I could have also spoken a bit louder. Also, I could have improved on a lot I could proudly say that I am proud of what I have done and how I edited it.
