Evaluation

After completing my project, i can now look back on it and evaluate how everything went. What went well, what went not so well, what others thought and just everything in general. As soon as we got this project, i kind of had an idea of what i wanted to do straight away which was good as this meant i wasn't wasting time trying to think of what to do.
Once i finished my paperwork it was just a matter of time of when i was going to film. I left myself plenty of time to do this. It only took me one day to film which was pretty pleasing. During the day i had to make sure both my actors were prepared to star in my project and we all had a time in which we would meet up to start filming. Filming was a bit slow to start off with as i was trying to plan out what needed filming first as it was better to film the outside parts first before it got dark. It wouldn't have mattered if it got dark when we were inside.
Once i got going everything ran really smoothly and i was really pleased with how the days filming went.
After looking at my footage i didn't have to re-film anything which was also a good sign and i left myself loads of time for editing. My time management overall was very good i thought as i had planned out when i needed to do stuff and i stuck to it. My actors didn't let me down either so they didn't delay any of my filming.
I didn't have any problems with the equipment either, i managed to use everything with ease so having no technical faults meant that again, my project ran smoothly and i wasn't being held back.
After getting people to look at my completed video, i was left with some very positive feedback. One student commented on my technical ability saying that it is very good. He was also pleased with how well effects were used such as the BBQ smoke. Another comment on the video said how funny and inventive it was. She also said how she liked the way i carried on the original trademark for Carlsberg which was what i was trying to do. This person also thought that the voice over helped make the video very good.
Looking back on my project, i don't think anything went wrong and i am very pleased with this project and don't regret anything that i did.

Diary Entry - 28/6/2010

In this lesson i put in some effects such as some smoke on the barbeque and sizzling sounds. I also put in a sound effect for the lawn mower. After doing this i watched my advert again to check everything was okay which it was. This meant i had finished my Carlsberg advert.

Diary Entry - 25/6/2010

During this lesson i worked on the last shot putting in text. I put in text such as, "please drink responsibly" and "www.drinkaware.co.uk" as you see these on alcohol adverts. I also recorded my voice over and started to put it into my sequence.
