We were asked to produce a video on academic honesty which may be entered in an IB competition. We were given a guide to do so which our group, unfortunately, lost therefore there were some rules we didn't follow e.g. abusive language and violence. However, those were only small part of the video so we didn't break the guide lines to a large extent. I think that if we were to do this next time, we should ask for a copy of the guide so that we know exactly what is acceptable and what isn't so that we don't have to correct mistakes.
My involvement in this task was quite important and this task that was given to us has helped me to be a much better communicator since I always put forward my ideas and also considered the ones of others and respected it. I made sure to think about the ethical implication of possible actions, for example, by not creating any stereotypical and possibly racist scenes. I think that my editing skills have improved since this task has helped me to be a lot more creative since I thought of effects I could put in the movie and what would be visually attractive to our potential audience and what would be entertaining. This proved to be successful since we had a good response from our audience today. The song selection, sounds and the transition between them was very well used since it ran together quite smoothly, however, the fading of the music could have been done better.
Areas that could be improve is the acting itself since even though it was good at places, there were some places which could use some improvement e.g. sometimes I was smiling when I wasn't supposed to and sometimes the person filming was laughing. When this occurs, we should retake the video until we get it right instead of just relying on editing to "do the magic". I think that the video could have been shorter since there were some unnecessary parts shown, in my opinion and it kind of lost the attention of some people. The voice of the characters wasn't always heard which was an issue since it limited people's understanding of what was going on so next time we should make sure to play back the video when we have filmed it to make sure the quality has minimum faults. Also, we should make sure to film the videos the right way around since we ended up having videos we couldn't use since they were taken at the wrong angle.
Next time we are to do this, we should use a software we know we can use since it took us some time to decide on one that would be easy to use and high quality.
