3. Project Overview
In this section you will outline the aim of the project/task and give an
overview of the activates you undertook to complete it.
4. What was the theme of your project and
what attracted you to it?
My project was centered around football mainly the premier league, it
hosted questions about who the interviewee thought was the greatest
premier league striker. The reason I chose to focus on football is
because its not only the career path I want to go on to work in but also
one of my biggest interests that I thought I would be able to branch an
interview/mini-series from.
5. What research did you undertake and how
did it help develop your project?
The main research I did for my project was watching and analyzing
Football documentaries. I watched through the pele documentary, this
was useful as it featured a solo interview of pele, this helped give me
an idea of how to set the cameras, angles and the sort of lighting and
look I want to go for. I also analyzed amazons all or nothing series for
both Tottenham and Man City. This helped with inspiration for how to
layout the match clips, angle to try and find and the voice overlay
mixed with the match clip sound.
6. How did you develop and improve your ideas
throughout the project?
One of the ways I developed and improved my ideas was through
viewing other content similar to what I wanted to create, I would try
my best to mimic and recreate the ideas I liked from these pieces.
Another way I developed my ideas was asking for feedback and
suggestion from peers, this allowed me to take on their ideas and
criticisms to improve it as well as having a proof viewing of it at
intervals so things I had become used to like slight sound
inconsistencies were picked up and able to be fixed .
7. What was the outcome of the project/task?
• The outcome was creating the first episode of a web miniseries which
had to be centered around a topic you were interested in and feature
an interview from a contributor.
8. Personal Response
This section will explore your thoughts and feelings about the
experience. This will help gain a understand of how your personal
feelings may have impacted the final outcome.
9. How did you feel about the project before
you started?
• I was excited as it was a lot of freedom and it was mainly down to us
on what we wanted to create and more or less how we got to
produce it.
10. What do you think about your project development and
how did it help you to refine your idea?
• I think the planning really helped me to bring my project from an idea
to an actuak piece of working. Especially while looking at available
clips as this really helped me to narrow down my original plans.
11. Did you collaborate on your project or engage
contributors, etc?
• My only contributor was Antony who let me interview him about his
personal choice of who is the greatest premier league forward of all
time.
12. How did you feel when the project was
completed and why?
• Honestly, I felt quite proud as I was happy with what I created. I think
it was well made and worked well.
13. Evaluating the project
In the previous sections, you have been commenting upon the project development. The
evaluation may include some similar information but it will also include critical comment.
An evaluation must include information about the good and bad points of the project and it
is important to be honest. Finally, you should make a judgment about the effectiveness of
the success of the project
14. What were the good points about the project/task and what did you
learn from them? [try and think of at least 3, more if possible]
• Interview - I think the interview went well, it was fitting, and I was
very pleased with how it looked in the end.
• Editing- I was happy with the way I cut between the shots and clips. I
think it made it smooth to watch and enjoyable.
15. What challenges did you face and how did you
respond to them? Try and think of at least 3...
• The main challenge for me was not being able to complete the
original plan due to contributors no longer being available, I overcame
this by just doing a solo interview and focusing the entire video
around that one interview.
• Another challenge was the mic not working on the day and only
having a limited time to film, although we never really overcame this
we just used the cameras mic for the audio. This is something I would
like to change about the piece
16. What were the negative points about the
experience, and what could you have done to
improve them?
• The most negative points were interviewees no longer being able to
make the recording and the microphone not working on the day
which resulted in bad audio. If I had factored in these potential issues
I couldve booked a recording earlier on within the time frame so that
I was then able to rebook later in the timeframe.
17. How would you rate the final piece? [think along the lines of
poor, satisfactory, good or excellent...justify your rating]
• Overall, I think the piece I created was of good quality, it featured
what was needed in the brief and I think it is rather enjoyable video
to watch. It flows nicely and isnt overly complicated. However, I think
the audio quality of the interview lets it down
18. What is your opinion of your final piece? What
elements do you think are successful and why?
• I was personally very pleased with my final piece. I think the most
succesful element was the interview, I was very happy with how it
was shot and looked as well as the answers Antony was able to give.
19. How well did your project apply the characteristics
and conventions of the medium you worked in?
• I think it fit the usual conventions well atleast for the interview
aspect. The angles and the set suit the medium well and allows a
professional look.
20. How did you design appeal to your target
audience?
• It was heavily oritentated around football. It featured well known
players past and present and was centred around a current world star.
21. Analysis
In this section, you will focus on the details of the project and make
sense of what happened in the project. You should demonstrate how
your decisions informed the project development and the success of the
outcome.
22. In what ways was the overall project a
success?
• I think the film was a success as it featured the needed elements and
is enjoyable to watch
23. What elements did not go well and why?
• The audio was my main issue with the piece however this is due to a
technical fault rather than an error in planning or production
24. How did your skills develop during the portfolio? [remember,
skills aren't just technical, remember things like organisation,
time management, communication, etc as well]
• I think my ability to edit simple pieces together and my ability to
setup and frame a video piece definitly developed even it was purely
confidence and I feel what I have made is better.
25. What feedback did you get from your peers
and viewings?
• A lot of the feedback I asked for and received was small
improvements for either sound balance and levels aswell as small
context additions.
26. What would you do differently in the future
and why?
• Make sure to have a working microphone aswell as try and fit in a
second booking for if interviewees can no longer make it.
27. Action Plan
This section will identify what you would do differently in the future and
identify ways you could develop.
28. How could you develop your skills for future projects? Please
identify the appropriate resources and courses. For example,
webpages, tutorials, books, short courses and qualifications.
• Practice making highlight reels and overlaying sound and other clips.
• Practice my portrait photography and videography.
29. What personal attributes could you develop to
ensure you are working at a professional level?
• Time Management – getting work done on time
