The document provides a factual project evaluation by James Cooper-Abel of a video he created about Easter eggs in video games. It summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of each project phase - planning, research, experimentation, production, and the final video. For some areas, it outlines things that could be improved if more time was available and what will be done differently next time. The evaluation concludes with peer review feedback on the video, a comparison to another video on a similar topic, and a critical reflection.

1. FACTUAL PROJECT
EVALUATION
By james cooper-abel

2. Planning
Strengths
◦ The planning was detailed and well though
out.
◦ The mood board showing what I was going
for my video.
◦ The video plan I made was close to the
final product.
Weaknesses
o Some of the plans I made in the
PowerPoint weren’t used in the final
product.
o Planning was too short.
Thing I would improve if I had
more time
One Thing I would improve if I had more time
for my planning would be that I would make
multiple different ones
What I will do better the next time
What I would do better the next time is that if
I did, I format plan for a video a would do
multiple to see which one best fits

3. research
Strengths
o A strength is that I covered a wide verity of
factual video talking about easter eggs.
o I had a clear understanding of what I learnt
from the research and how I was going to
implement it.
o I had biobibliography of every research
piece.
Weaknesses
o I only covered a small amount of factual
videos.
Thing I would improve if I had
more time
One thing I would improve if I hade more
time would be to look at more factual videos
to gain and even better understanding of the
media, I would make for my video.
What I will do better the next time
What I would do better the next time would
be to look at more existing products like the
one I would make to help give me a better
understanding but also help me make my
product even better.

4. Experiment
Strengths
o I was very detailed in how a made my
experiment.
Weaknesses
o I only did one experiment as doing two or
three may have been more helpful to my
project.
Thing I would improve if I had
more time
One thing I would improve if I had more time
would have been to do more experiments as
they may have helped me make my product
even better.
What I will do better the next time
What I will do better the next time would be
to do two or more experiments to really help
see how it could improve my final product.

5. production
Strengths
◦ A strength of my production was the way I
was able to match up my audio with the in-
game avatar to make it look like they were
saying what I was saying.
Weaknesses
o A weakness of my production was I lost
track of the production diary and after I
had finished the video, I had to
streamline the diary explanation of my
production on the video.
Thing I would improve if I had
more time
What I would improve if I had more time
would be to go back and wright some more
into my production dairy in detail on how I
made my video.
What I will do better the next time
What I will do better next time will be to keep
a better eye on my production diary so I can
fill it with needed information of how I made
my product.

6. Main video/final product
What I like about my
product
What I liked about my product was the
way I was able to sync up the head
bobbing of my character with the audio I
recorded creating the illusion that my
character is say what Is played in the audio
instead of a disembodied voice I am also
particularly proud of the thumbnail I made
for the video as I feel it give of a sense of
creativity and shows clearly what the video
topic would be about.
What I feel I could have
improved
What I feel I could've improved about my
product were the explanation of the
easter eggs as I feel some drag on a bit
and some don’t explain well enough or
are confusing and to improve it, I would
go back to those part and if its two long
streamline and shorten the explanation
and the one that I feel don’t explain
enough I would go back and record and
add more information.
Critical reflection
What skills, techniques and ways of working have you used? One skill and technique I learned was the speed option for footage as I used
it to speed up or slow down footage within my video for my explanations of easter eggs which I feel helped streamline the video to be
shorter and less boring for the viewer. Have you pushed yourself or did you play too safe? with this project I feel like I pushed myself as I
had to record footage of over multiple game from different generation of gaming for the footage, I needed for my video and drawing the
thumbnail for the video. What else do you want to learn as a result of this experience? what I want to learn is the best way to tell when
one fact my need cutting down and which may need more information. How did the project go for you? I feel that the project went well
for me, but I feel there is room to improve it. How can this be useful in future? This can be useful in the future as it can serve as a
reminder on how to speed up footage if I ever need to use that edit again.

7. Peer review
Initial thoughts
I found the video to be enjoyable and very informative with clear and easy to understand directions on how to find the easter
eggs.
What you liked
• the way the footage of your avatar syncs with what you
are saying.
• The wide range of game you covered.
• The detail explanations.
What you disliked
• some explanation dragged out a bit
• Some edit didn’t flow as well
Thing you would improve
What I would improve would be to go back to the video
and redo some edits in the video to help it flow better but
also shorten some of the explanations.
