3. Research
• The research helped me pick out good features in montages e.g.
mixing the clips to the beat of the music. I learnt that all montages are
different not because there about different movies or shows, but the
way people edit them, for instance if a character is talking the editor
might use text, or use an effect to describe a certain scene. I tried to
use all of these methods to produce a great video.
• The questionnaires help as it let me know what fans and non fans of
the show want to see in the montage and also what they think of the
show. For instance one of the questions was who is your favourite
character and the most popular answer would be the character I use
in the montage.
• Like the questionnaire the interview let know what people thought of
the show, and also what they thought about montages for instance if
they liked them of if they found them annoying. The only problem I
had with the interviews where that they are very similar to the
questionnaires so I would similar answers for questions.
4. Planning
• To plan my product I watched scenes from the show to see what sort of
story line to go for. I also had a look at existing montages on the show to
see if I should do the same layout as them or a completely different
layout. Because there are so many different story lines it was quite hard to
pick one, so I pick the one which I thought would have the most action.
• I also planed it out on a mind map where I just put all my ideas together
and picked the ideas which I thought would be the best for my project. I
think maybe with the mind map I should have spent a bit more time on it
and put more ideas down.
5. Time Management
• I managed my time very well as I finished my power points early I could
start on my product early, so I had plenty of time to complete my
montage. If I had more time I would probably add more effects to the
clips, and a lot more quotes.
• I managed to stay on
track with the time plan.
• If the time plan was a bit
longer then I would
probably focus more on
each PowerPoint and
think more carefully
about what I want to put.
And I would make sure
there where no mistakes
a made.
6. Technical Qualities
This montage is similar
to mine as it is based
on the same story line
and the clips are mixed
with the beat. It also
has fast transitions
between clips. The
difference is that it
doesn’t use any text.
This montage is
similar to mine
because it uses the
same music. It also
has a dramatic feel to
it. But the difference
with this montage is
that the clip sizes are
a lot bigger than mine
This montage is similar to mine as it uses
text and effects, It is also based off the
same story line, and show most of the
same clips I use. The difference is that the
whole montage is a lot shorter than
mine.
7. Aesthetic Qualities
The music and the
clips worked well
together, because
the clips were to the
beat of the music.
And to get a precise
moment in a clip I
would click the space
bar.
The effects helped
describe a scene, for
instance I used a black
and white effect in
some clips to let the
audience know that
they where flash backs.
When ever I had text in
the clips, I would highlight
important words to catch
the audiences eyes.
Though out the whole
thing I was using two to
three second clips but at
the end I used a ten
second clip so it didn’t
blend well with the
music.
I could have maybe
picked some better
music. Maybe more
dramatic music
I only based it off one
character when I could
have probably used at
least three.
The clip sizes worked well as when
the music picked up the pace the
clips where a lot shorter but when
the music slowed down the clips
where longer
8. Audience Appeal
Another reason why I used a
lot of violence is because in
my questionnaire one of the
questions was do you want
violence, and the majority put
yes.
I used a lot of violence to satisfy
my audience (Teens) but it
wasn’t all violence there where
points in the montage where
was just talking to satisfy people
who may not like violence, and I
laid it out like violence then a
quote then more violence and
then another quote so I could
split the violence up so that it
wouldn’t all be violence.
The majority of people who
answered the questions
where male so I based the
montage around a male
character. One of the
questions was who is your
favorite character and most
people put Jon snow which
is another reason why I
used that character.
On the questionnaire people said
that they wanted to see more than
one main character so instead of
just having Jon snow I added
multiple characters to the montage.
I made the video just under two minutes as
in the questionnaire a lot of people asked
for a two minute video and a lot asked for a
three so I compromised. Another question
was how long should each clip be, the
answers where quite varied so I make each
clip a different length, some were 3 seconds
and some were 5 seconds.
10. Feedback 1
• What did you like about the product?
I think that the way the clips all fit in together and the timing he has used is
perfect making each clip used fit well together, I also like the choice in music
it fits the montage and all the action packed within it.
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
I don’t believe that the video needs much improving overall, but the one thing that
may be changed is the text and the colours of the text chosen I don’t think they fit the
montage and do not look quite as professional as the rest.
11. Feedback 2
• What did you like about the product?
– The clip is very good and I think it shows exactly what the show is about in a 2
minute long vide. It includes some great parts including lots of action which Is
very appealing to me and probably most audiences
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
– The one thing that may be changed is the text and the colours of the text
chosen I don’t think they fit the montage and do not look quite as professional
as the rest.
12. Feedback 3
• What did you like about the product?
– I really enjoyed the product and thought the editing was great throughout, in
fact fantastic throughout, I think the choice of music was excellent as it really
went well with the battle scenes incorporated in the film. I think the clips were
excellently chosen as they were timed and used perfectly to the time of the
music. In which it attracted you to fixate your eyes upon the screen and not
take them off.
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
• Not a lot of improvements could have been made for this product as it really was quite good.
But one thing I would say is some footage was quite blurry and hard to see, not a big issue
and easy to change. Another improvement I would give would be the writing could be a
different colour as some of it doesn’t really go with the screening of the film, so it could
possibly be change to a darker colour.
13. Peer Feedback Summary
• What do you agree with from your peer
feedback?
• I do agree that the text colours do no mix with the
video, I definitely should have tried to make them fit
with the tone of the video.
• What do you disagree with from your peer
feedback?
• I don’t disagree with any of the feedback.
14. Peer Feedback Summary
Everyone who gave feedback all said that the text colour does not mix
with the rest of the video, so I would change the font to a more darker
colour or try and add some effects to the text so they fit the tone of the
video. I would also try and fix the quality of some of the videos as some
clips where a bit blurry, or instead of trying to fix them I could look for
some other clips to use, so that it is clear to see what is going on in the
scene.
