What Would i do differently

If I was to film a video again I would change several things because it didn't go as well as I would of liked it to be, the thing I would change the most is the people I had involved as my actors because they were not very focused on what I was doing I would probably use people that I didn't really no because then they wouldn't feel comfortable to be so distracted.

My video is like something along the lines of girl chewing gum, there are many changes that are not similar but it just reminds me of it because Rosie the main actor is just sitting there and there is no life in her and in the video girl chewing gum everyone is just getting on with themselves and there own life. Mine is based in a classroom the thing I found most successful is the main actor in my video also the place it is set in goes well with the video.

My diary

Hello, today the 13-11-09 I decided it would be a good idea to film my experimental video it is all about that everyday seems to be the same boring thing and basically that life is what you make it , all the people that I needed to be in it were in college. It went ok i suppose many things could of been better like for people to take it more seriously, Rosie helped me set up my equipment and we chatted about what way would look best this helped me a lot.
The main actress was very good and took it really seriously, I was slightly annoyed at the other actors I had as they just didn't seem to care so much about it and decided to be really of task due to this is it took me a lot longer to film.

Yesterday on the 16-11-09 I imported my video onto the computer there was a scene on there that was not very good so I then decided to re take it and filmed for about 50 Min's of a clock in the class room I then imported it onto the computer and I am ready to edit.

Hello I have now edited my video and cut it into what I wanted I then had to speed up the footage of the clock so then it is fast forwarding. I then decided to add my own slide on the end to give it a caption of life is what you make it. I then had to export it to quick time witch was a success.
Last but not least I added it into a DVD Crater and the burned it onto a CD.
my project is now complete.

Thanks :) x

Exhibition of experimental video

I have chosen the gardens in Crawley just opposite the college to view my experimental video, I chose this because there is many people in there every day and the range of different ages is great there are young kids,adults,old people and students. This will give me a good view off my video. To get feed back on what people think I'm going to ask people to fill in a questionnaire on and then when I get back to college I can see what many peoples opinions are. If I ask someone to watch it and they say no my next plan would just be to ask the next person because there is people walking threw all the time.


We had to have your exhibition finished by the end of the week and because the weather had been so bad by Friday i still hadn't had the chance to show my video to a range of people that i didn't no.
In the end i thought about the whole thing and decided to do it indoors it would be better in a way because my actually film is based inside. I played it in a classroom full of people but under a few desks and had the projector underneath and only one person at a time could watch. To get different people that i didn't no to view my video i went into other classrooms and ask for a few students at a time. This was a success and i got some good feedback and some not so great but overall it was a good outcome and most people enjoyed watching it.
