Simon Bates Feedback

Now that we have all finished our promotional videos and the documentary, Simon has sent us feedback on what he thought of each. He has sent us a table showing each section of videos and what he thought of each and how we could improve. The first image that I have taken is focused on the feedback that he gave to our documentary and the second image of the feedback that was given to the promo videos.

I think that the feedback that he has given to us for our documentary is quite positive and all feel that we have done quite considering we had a lot of issues throughout. We will be taking the feedback that he has given and taking it with us when we complete other project, if we go to university and for future careers. This experience has really helped us to learn to work together in a small time, effectively and to good standards. It has also given us the experience of working with someone in the industry and they have opened a lot of door for us.

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)

Feedback From Simon(Junction) - Documentary Rough Cut

After we completed the rough cut version of our documentary, we asked others to give us feedback on what we had produced. We started by getting feedback from the class and then we managed to get feedback from Simon who has commissioned us. Below is the feedback that he gave us based on the rough cut that he saw.

"Visuals looks clear and mature.
Audio sounds good.
Interviews with the students, Junction staff, lecturers interviews. More, e.g Nick would be great, Sandra at Long Road, Jonathan at Bournemouth for interviews.
Demonstrations of students working alongside Junction and Bournemouth staff, Some good footage but more of the Samba and CRaM conference would be great.
Interviews with students who are going to Bournemouth and how Long Road has developed the link. Needs more of this
Information for other consortia on how to schools and FE colleges should engage with employers.
More on: students saying how important this is to the success of diplomas, at the end of the day this is why students do diplomas!

Class Feedback for Documentary - Using Prezi.com

I have decided to play around with other ways of displaying my work so I have looked into working with a site called Prezi.com. This website allows you to make one big presentation on one big poster. You can zoom in and out to all areas, different angles and shapes. It was hard to start off with but once you get the hang of it, it can be quite rewarding.

Here is the link to my presentation, if it doesn't show in this post as a presentation.
