Video Production Reflection
1. What questions did the judges ask you (or your team)?
The judges asked us what our inspiration was for this project, what we used to make the title screen/lower thirds, and how we used the mics during the interviews.
2. What comments did the judges give your team?
The judges told us we had a good idea, but we needed to have better audio and more b-roll footage for when Corporal Scott was talking.
3. What was the strongest part of your presentation?
The strongest part of our presentation was us telling the judges about everything. they were listening intently to everything we were saying.
4. What was the weakest part of your presentation?
The weakest part of our presentation was the lack of audio, lack of b-roll, and having key things within the bonus footage but not in the overall video. Those were all things the judges mentioned.
5. Write a detailed description your judged event. I want the sequence of actions that you went through!
We first read our competition guidelines followed by brainstorming potential heroes. After we chose Corporal Scott, we contacted him for an interview and he was very open to the whole thing. We storyboarded what we wanted in the video followed by the writing of the script that we used while shooting. We then met with Scott to discuss what we thought the video would turn out to be. Later we met with Scott again, in various locations, to shoot our interview and small clips of b-roll footage. Then we edited the clips we had and chose what to put in the 5 minute video and what just couldn't make the cut. After the editing was done we did some voiceover work and added a music montage at the beginning for the tv show effect. We burned the movie to some dvds and put a few folders together for the judges to view and we went to eastland to present. We sat in the cafeteria for quite some time. Passing the time was done by eating pizza, conversing with those around, and playing cards. Occasionally the speaker would call groups to go present. When it was our turn we were escorted to the room by a very nice woman. The judges were all very laid back and listened intently to what we said. After the video was done playing, they gave us both positive and negative feedback. Positive feedback included things like you guys have a really good idea and I like what you did with your graphics. The negative feedback included comments about audio, lack of b-roll footage, lack of police graphics in the video, and lack of some information in the video. Overall they were very nice and I think we did decent but in my opinion, following their feedback, I don't expect to be high on the winners list.
6. What would you do differently about your presentation?
I would've stressed more about speaking clearly and with enthusiasm, which weren't huge deals during our presentation but it's something that can always be improved.
7. What would you change about your preperation for contest.
I would have to say stressing more on b-roll footage. In the early stages I had ideas for small clips of b-roll that as time went by we just strayed further and further from. It all came down to time at the end and we never got around to b-roll footage.
