Evaluation.

This pictures shows the two main bits of feedback we received from our peers. Near enough all of our class mates said they liked the way the video seemed to flow, which was our main target really, so this gave us alot of satisfaction. They all loved the originality of the concept and they all knew what we were capable of so it wasn't a great suprise when they saw the standard we achieved. The negative feedback was from one of our slower students, Joe, who couldn't understand whether there was two storylines or one narative and the band. We didn't foresee any problems with our layout but we did explain to Joe that there was just one storyline and the band.

Whilst doing this project we really enjoyed ourselves and if the opportunity ever occurred again, we would happily have another go. One major thing that threatened our sanity was the technology that we used.

As this picture shows we did use a vast range of software. This group of products were generally very good. The cameras were very reliable, Blogger was great, Itunes was fine, Bluetooth was flawless but it was Imovie HD that was the source of a lot of frustration. We uploaded our footage without a problem, we even got the song into the program with relative ease but the main problem was that after getting about a quarter of the way through the editing process the program decided to start crashing every 5-10 minutes which meant we lost all unsaved work. This was easily overcome but it was very irrating but worst of all, when you get into the editing you do find yourself forgetting to press save after every little change. This meant we got a nasty reminder to save and we lost all of our previous progress.
Despite these little discrepancies we had a really good time and did look forward to working on our video. The main thing we learnt and will always remember is to plan what you are doing very precisely and know what you need to film and complete everything punctually, this will give you enough time to edit and set you free from stressful times. Although you do need to plan, I do feel that using a little bit of creativity is also necessary and can often make a project that little bit more special.
