This session the group edited the vox-pops that the group filmed last week in town. My role was giving Hannah ideas how to put it together and which order things should go in.
My contribution today was basically giving Hannah advice. Personally, I think that we should have chosen a better subject to interview people on, and ask them more questions, because we didn't manage to film many people when we went out around town, and so therefore we didn't have many vox-pops to put together. We achieved to put together a good piece of filming together, with good music and good titles. We didn't manage to make a very long piece of film. We started to build up on ideas on how we can improve next time.
It was enjoyable to mess around with the music and the speed of the person speaking. We discovered that older women are better at being interviewed because they are more reliable at giving good answers, whereas most of the men that we filmed were immature and not giving many very good answers. I learned that the type of music that you have in your piece of film depends on the subject you are talking about e.g. you wouldn't have very dark and ominous music when talking about circuses and happy things. I have become better at taking sections of vox-pops and mixing them together and putting them in a good order. As a group, we found it quite hard but managed to do it eventually. The hardest part was coming up with the right sort of music to go with the piece of film. I was satisfying to find a good piece of music in the end. My stengths today were putting the clips and titles in order. I was less successful at putting the piece of music into the work.
In the future, we must spend more time on putting the clips together and a little bit less time on choosing the backgorund music, because that's what took up most of out time. We need to organise it out abit better next time. It's now importatnt that we focus on getting the work done roughly before putting in lots of detail into it. The next step would be to put more detail into it. As a result of today we managed to create a piece of work worth watching.
