Evaluating the AS blog short video

This video shows kieran talking about our AS thriller blog, and some of the positives and negatives we felt came up throughout. Because this video wasn't particulary long we have produced some screen shots of the old blog also which we will evaluate in more detail.

 This is one of our posts on the blog which consisted of a detailed plan of when we was going to shoot certain parts of our thriller. It includes where, when, and what time we will be shooting. By sticking to this schedule it allowed us to keep organised with what we was doing and not waste time at locations. This was one of the positive posts we decided when looking through because it really helped us out when shooting and everyone in the group knew what was going on. We will be making another one of these this year for our music video.

On our blog we had quite a few videos; this included us in the group 'chatting' about planning, locations, music etc but we also filmed audience feedback from teachers and students. This was a quick and effective way to store the information at the time yet I feel now looking back and watching each video that we would definitely need to plan out what was going to be said before it was filmed to avoid fillers and awkwardness with not knowing what to say as this made the videos look unplanned and unprofessional. Using videos to keep information would still be a good idea for the blog this year on our music video as it is media rich and spontaneous speech however we will need to take the negatives we found from last year into consideration before doing this.

 

This shows a screen grab from the short trailer that was made for our opening to the thriller, we felt that this was one of our stronger posts on the blog as it really fitted in with the whole blog and acted as a 'teaser' to the official Thriller opening we was planning throughtout. This short trailer was made on an Ipad app called iMovie ans allowed us to use different effects, cut ins and words. We will probably be using this again this year in our prelim or if we again use a teaser of the real video.
