Companies Involved and Their Logos

Here are the logos that we had to use for the videos that we produced. We needed to credit each of them somewhere within each video, as each of them contributed in making this project work.

























































The Junction had asked us to make them some promotional videos and also a documentary about making the promos and working with the Junction, Bournemouth and Skillset. Bournemouth have worked with us to help us to get good videos out of this project and to get a new experience from getting feedback and help from the students there. Skillset have worked with the Junction to get the project up and running and they have funded the Junction with the money to make it all work. Long Road has worked with us through our teachers, helping us to get the evidence that we need for the project and to get project the done efficiently. They have also supplied the equipment, as well as Parkside have also supplied some equipment and this has all helped to make sure that the project works well.

Feedback From Bournemouth Editing Students

During our time at Bournemouth we were advised by post-graduate students who gave us feedback on our documentary and for the others feedback on their promo's. We were really thankful for this feedback as it has helped us make our video a lot better and to the clients needs. Below is the feedback that they gave us and which points we have completed.

- Put a sound track within the interviews
- The introduction of each of the interviews should be tagged at the bottom left of each shot, to introduce the person(we have completed on the footage we have)
- The introduction needs to be established
- Good use of band footage and maybe use of more would be good
- A montage may be good to set up the feel of the venue(we have one completed for the end but needed one at the beginning)
- Simon Bates, use footage that links with what he is saying
- Maybe some transition footage in between the interviews to breakup the structure
- Good use of titles to break up the structure
- Shots of the interview needed more to be used more to breakup the footage of editing
- Shots of screen edit - too much
- First five mins need to be broken up so it make it less boring
- Setting up a feel of what we to get from the film, basic introduction
- Faster cuts to give more structure and a smoothly flow to the documentary(we have almost completed, being re-edited while we bring in new footage)

Day Trip to Bournemouth

Today we have been on a trip to Bournemouth university and we were there to receive some feedback from the media students there, to collect some footage for the documentary and also to edit with them and get some advice.
We started off by getting some lunch with our £5 vouchers and then headed off to the media block to get directed to what we were going to be doing the rest of the day. Once we got into the media block, we all gathered in a room and they informed us about the day and welcomed us and we then were sent off into our groups, each with one media student.
We went off into an editing room with our student and he played our rough cut of our documentary of Vimeo. He then gave us feedback on our video and advised us on ways in which we can make it a lot better. Once he has given us all of his feedback, he then offered to show us some tips and tricks on Final Cut and also to show us Motion software, which is similar to After Effects. This was very useful to us as we learnt a lot of things on Final Cut which are quite simple but make a bit difference and we also learnt that Motion is a similar way to get good effect without using the complex After Effects.

This was really good experience, it helped us a lot with our project and also for future projects that we may do. It has also given us a taster of university and prepared us a bit and given us a step up possibly above the others students going to university to do media.
