have done? Based on meet the required brief. For example, I have tried my best to use my
feedback from teachers and best equipment and learn how to use them properly as shown in my
peers do you think have research. Even though some shots may have not been of the best
quality. I think that overall the production is at an okay standard. There
successfully met the required
are still areas that could be improved however, like transitioning well

Feedback:
“I think the video is very good and reminds me other dark emotional
dramas I have seen.”
Victoria Parr 18
“I think that the editing could be cleaned up, but I can follow the
storytelling very well”
Peter Andreu 17
“I like the colour grading, but some bits are too dark”
Niall O’Loughlin
“I liked the different shots I thought they were well filmed, however I
think that you could improve by reshooting out of focus scenes”
Frances Carroll
Peter said that the editing could be cleaned up, I agree with this
statement as I could have done more research into how I could more
appropriately use post production to convey the themes I am
communicating in different ways. For example, where could I cut out,
or fade out so that it would have more impact, do I need to cut to the
beat? Could I use post-production to contribute to the narrative? I
think in many ways I could have, but I also did in various parts of my
work for example when the first shots of his view down on the town
are seen the music hits a chord which I think works effectively to bring
attention to the landscape and its significance.
Niall said that he liked the colour grading, confirming that it may have
had the effect I desired, achieving a grumpier and drearier look. He also
said thought that in a few scenes the colour grading wasn’t needed, for
this reason in the future I will try to watch over all the production
before exporting and try not to apply the same adjustment layer to all
of the shots.
Frances mentioned how I should try to refilm scenes that were out of
focus, I think this is an important thing to pay attention to in the future
if producing similar work, to try and avoid this issue I will make sure to
check all footage on the camera and soon after on the laptop to make
sure the footage is good enough before I decide to stop shooting. I
think that this can be quite off putting when a scene is out of focus so I
should try to avoid this, and in hindsight I think the quality of my
project would have been a lot better if I payed closer attention to this.
Verbal feedback:
Do you think you followed the These were the guidelines outlined by BBC 3 and OFCOM that
guidelines well? my work must adhere to:
The second guideline states that the use of alcohol should not be
condoned or glamorised. I do show one of the characters
drinking alcohol in one scene, however, I use it to show that a
desperate time in her life has lead her to a bad habit. She is
shown to be drinking alcohol because she is experiencing
helplessness and loneliness, and I make sure to not imply that
her life improves due to the use of alcohol. I make sure the use
of alcohol is shown in a bad light, therefore it is not glamorised
or condoned.
As I mentioned in the
first section, in the
future I need to pay
more attention to the
focussing on my
camera while I am
filming. It meant one
scene in my
production had the camera focussing on the background rather
than my character Anthony. I should also be conscious of light
levels when I am filming, especially if I am filming in the evening
and it’s starting to get dark quite quickly.
I think I will also try to find more areas to use, in order to do this
I will try to do more research into areas near me that suit the
kind of area I need to use, it may also help to talk to others and
ask if people know areas that might be appropriate for my work,
it is important that I give myself a lot of choice when it comes to
areas I can film because I can use different areas as back up just
in case any issues arise with certain areas or they aren’t very
suitable.
