Evaluation of College Video first cut

Content

I think the content and mise en scene in my video is good, it shows a lot of the areas in creative media in interesting ways, I believe it makes the course look very interesting and could attract potential students. Although the second to last shot isn't very good and I should have shot it again, it pans to nothing, revealing nothing so it's pointless. This is less the ideal for the client because there is such a short amount of time to work with none of it should be wasted. Obviously my target audience was students in years 10 and 11 that are interested in this subject, that's why I used all the shots of the different equipment as well as the different work spaces, this is to give the target audience a taste of what the course is like, I also included the canted shot at the start to show the attractiveness of the college, I also like this shot because it shows the support beams on the ceiling which make the shot look nicer, which makes the college look cooler and more appealing to the target audience. I also really the crab shot that reveals the colleges logo in adobe premiere, I think this shot looks professional and clean.

Camerawork

I think for the most part the camera work was good for this video, it's creative, it uses creative shots and styles, making it look more professional which would make the client happy. Although a few shots are out of focus which I would make sure didn't happen if I were to do this again. This won't be good for a final version especially because it's a media subject, where you learn how to use cameras. There are a lot of moving shots iin my advert, this is to make it feel a bit more exciting, so there's always something interesting to look at. I really like this arc shot and the way it speeds up in the middle and slows down again, I think it helps the flow of the video, and it really fits in with the style of the advert. The crab shot to reveal the editing software is really good because it's quite slow so it's a bit of a mystery as to whats getting revealed. I think it's also good because it showcases the slider that I used

Editing

The editing was good for the most part although some parts of it were over exposed which I could have maybe fixed in post and the choice of music could have been more fitting I think. Although over all I believe my edit was good and represented the college in an appealing way. There were some shots that I had to use the warp stabiliser effect on because the shots weren't completely stable, this has worked out on most of the shots its been used on but there was one or two that distorted a bit. I didn't use any kind of effects.

Sound

Apart from the music there isn't any sound, this makes the whole video sound very good because there's no recordings that could have gone wrong, personally I think it would have been better to include a voice over from a teacher so they could explain what's happening and give some more insight into the subject, this could have made it seem a bit more professional.
