This video is about 2 people arguing over which youtube channel is better and they decide to have a game of rock paper scissors to settle the argument. We used real rock paper and scissors so it was a bit of play on words but still had the same concept, In the end Jack wins but Sid and his ‘gang’ run into the room because they disagree.
To film this video we decided to use the jib for some moving shots, the tripod mainly for still shots as well as a couple hand held ones. I am happy with the shots we got and the way they fit together except for the cut to them sitting at the table. I used a variety of close, mid and wide shots to show the story and engage the viewers. I think it worked quite well to build some tension with the music I added. We decided to use real rocks paper and scissors to be more original with the video and make it different to others.
I didn’t add any sound effects to the vide which I could have done but thought it would be better without them.
Good, Caragh, but you can take this further. In places you make a point, but could say more in developing it. For example, you say you decided the film would be better without sound effects, so you decided not to use them — but what sort of sound effects? Where would they have gone? Did you test them? How did you make the decision that they didn’t work in the film? This is a key target for future evaluations — to review your writing and expand on particular points like this. Again, you say you’re not happy with the cut to the two sitting at the table — but why doesn’t it work? What was missing? What could have been better? You also need to watch your capitalisation and punctuation a little more — they’re minor things, but imagine each blog post is an email to a professional client. There’s nothing a quick proofread wouldn’t pick up. All that said, it’s a good film and there are lots of really creative ideas going on. Spending a little more time on the evaluation would definitely lift your work overall!
