Evaluation Question 5

I asked two students in my school to review my final piece. Each of these students both study in year 12 and go to Harris Academy South Norwood. The person on the left does not study media in any way and is a complete outside party to the subject. The person on the right is currently studying Btec media and so has more of an idea of what should be included in the final piece.

I also asked a student that does not study at Harris. This person is in year 11 and also does not study media at all. She is a complete outside party to the entire process so I know that her response will be genuine and accurate.

The videos were set up in a question and answer format. The participants did not know what questions I was going to ask them so this made it easier for them to evaluate. Because they did not know what to expect, their response would clearly be their genuine opinion.

From my feedback, I could tell that the participants liked my final piece. One of the main features that were popular amongst my participants was the music. I was told that my music was effective as it helped to indicate what the genre of the film would be. Another positive for my video was the way in which the camera was used. The lighting of a lot of the scenes were also said to be effective as it gave a sense of tension which further helped to indicate the genre to the audience.

One area of improvement is the duration of the clip. The clip itself was less than 2 minutes long which may not be reflective of actual media products. If I was to re do this task, I would definitely ensure that I acquire enough footage to make the piece long enough. During the production process, duration was a problem for this piece and it is definitely one of my targets for future pieces. Another area of improvement is the special effects. In future pieces I would like to use more effects to make the piece look more professional. Instead of using similar effects, I would like to try and use a range to make the piece more interesting and attractive.

 

 

 

 

 

I also asked a third person to watch my video. The above video was their response to what they saw.
