Evaluation of AS Blog

The overall feel of our blogging was that it was what brought our marking down, we failed to produce many marketing products to couple with our actual film opening product. This brought our marks down both in the evaluation and planning phases. Another thing that we definitely need to improve on is to broaden our range of media uses for our blog. We only used writing on the blog and occasionally coupled with pictures, but no real change in forms of media. We could have used forms such as video or perhaps just sound (podcast).

Our film opening products itself we thought was very good, although we had plans to make it even better, we failed to add the finishing ideas on to it because we ran out of time. However, we still feel that we did a very good job with our product and we are mostly pleased with the result. We felt that we utilized all the aspects that we had such as location, editing, conventions and camerawork. Combining all of these together, we felt we made a very effective film opening that we were happy with. We hope that we can transfer the skills that we applied well to our current project. A slight issue is that the genre and pace of this new video we have to create is vastly more different than our AS production, therefore we will need to ensure that we are aware of all the new codes and conventions for a lively music video rather than a slow and creepy horror film opening.
