unit 62 - evidence of editing intercative media video

The image above is a screen shot of myself inserting text into the video to describe the story of that segment of the video. the reason I chose that font is that it would stand out against the forest background in the video however the font shown in this screen shot is different then the one shown in the final video.

Below is an image of how I have labelled the footage of the video.

The way I labelled the footage was numbering the shots that of certain things that came in a specific order for example the file "Pill Box 1" is the first file featuring the Pill Box bunker in Thornaby Woods

When I had labelled the footage I deposited the selected footage which had been cut down to relevant portions I depositied it on to the time line to be rendered and exported once all of the selected footage had been put together and further cut down.

Once all of the footage had been cut down put together and captions added on to it I then set it to render so it could be exported

Once rendering process had been complete it was time to export the completed video so it could be provided to the rest of the group.



Unit 26 - digital video Evaluation

The finished product is a definite achievement of the assignment's original assignment. The video when seen by the clients was approved and the clients say that it was better quality then the videos they already had on YouTube. The video was well edited highlighting the well done Camera Work which the clients compared to industry standards.


In regards to the Production skills used in creating the finished product every member of the production team edited their own version of the promotional video my version had text narration included. during the preproduction of the video we had our own tasks to complete. my contributions were researching legal and ethical considerations in making films featuring wild life and nature. If I can make a small admission I do think I could have been given more to do during the project.


The constraints that the video had during production was finding a non-copyright restricted and free to use soundtrack for the video that would work well with all of the sections so that the finished product wouldn't seem disjointed.


The leader of the group was Daniella Cooper who managed the team extraordinarily, the communication across the team was not the best however as I made several inquiry's to see if there was anything more for me to do, however that may just be me not speaking loud enough. When the clients were presented with the finished product they were extremely impressed so I believe that we exceeded their expectations.


The clients were suitably impressed with the finished product except for that one shot was quite jarring and the logo featured in the video needed changing to the current logo of the client organisation. One of the Client representatives also stated that the video was on par and even better then if the video was produced by professionals

Finished documentary

Over the past several months I have been producing A documentary about myself more importantly how I deal with autism
Please note that while the video is over 20 minutes the documentary part of it ends at around 15 minutes

I hope you enjoy

My placement offers little but necessary amount to the customers as we were tasked with creating a promotional video for the whole project.
My placement was to aid in the recording of the one of the guided walks through Thornaby Woods.
the health and safety considerations were quite substantial as we were in a woodland area as such when drafting the risk assessments the things that had to be considered were slipping on the mud, tripping over roots and stones on the pathways and water damage from potential rain. aside from editing the footage captured the shoot took the better part of 2 hrs so around 1hour and 45 minutes

Unit 6: critical approaches to creative media products - Task 1

Quantitative audience research
Quantitative audience research is commonly used in Market research in order to find out what the majority desires. Film and television production companies use this determine what kind of products their target audience's desire. For example with the recent Dark knight Batman Trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. The other companies that produced comic Super Hero movies tried to make their movies more dark, even though in the source material is rather light in content like Spiderman.


Qualitative audience research
Qualitative research is where a select group of people which share common key characteristics discuss their likes through a focus group. It allows for topics to be further explored in further depth and details.

25/11/16 - Documentary interview - Mrs Gaughn

On Friday 25th November 2016 Myself and Chloe Handley interviewed Mrs Liz Gaughn for my Documentary. Mrs Gaughn is the Learner support Manager for All Saints Academy in Ingleby Barwick  which is where I attended Secondary School. The questions included what did she do day to day, what kind of students does she interact with And what was her first impression of me.


About 2 minutes into the interview we were interview by one of the school care takers closing one of the windows
after we started the questions again we changed so it was me having a conversation with Mrs Gaughn. about what triggers my anger and then we moved over to the couches to speak about the nostalgia about being back in the building of the secondary school I had attended.


it was a very successful interview all and all
