Amendments/Feedback on finished Product

I have gathered some feedback on my finished product and will make the final amendments on this. This will make my final product better as I will be able to gauge what my audience liked and what they thought I could change about it. I sent out a form via google forms to request this information. 


This is the first export of my finished product;



I was able to obtain feedback on my video from two classmates as a conversational style focus group. Here I asked what works well and what could be improved. I found that from their feedback, it was worth adding in a narration in order to give more context to the piece. Chris had also spotted a spelling error in the video which I had overlooked. 

My focus group:





As well as this, I also put out a survey and asked the same questions. 



Upon reviewing these responses, I have found that half of them have recommended a narration to go over the top of the video, which was also the case for my focus group. This is something that I am now in the process of writing and recording, I am hoping this will pay off and make the video more engaging. However, since I intended for the visuals be more of a focus than the sound, I don't want a narration over the entire thing. Instead, I could add some small sections of narration which introduce or expand on what is happening on screen. This way, the audience can stay focused on the visuals but also have the right amount of audio to compliment it.

Pre Production- Storyboard

 Below is my storyboard along with the shots that I have taken to bring these drafts to life. These were drawn months before filming but I was able to successfully recreate what I had intended to shoot. The storyboard helped me visualise what I wanted the shots to look like as well as what kind of angle/shot size I would need to be able to successfully recreate them in real life.  storyboard for sunderland culture from Sophieg8

Copyright and permissions for footage

Image
Due to the cost of an entry ticket into Beamish, I have considered using stock footage instead of getting the footage myself. For this, I sourced a clip from the BFI which included the city of Sunderland trams from 1904. I spoke with some one from the BFI who was able to supply me with their copyright policy and fair use of the video clip. This was as follows: " Several exceptions allow copyright works to be used for educational purposes, such as: the copying of works in any medium as long as the use is solely to illustrate a point, it is not done for commercial purposes, it is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement, and the use is fair dealing. This means minor uses, such as displaying a few lines of poetry on an interactive whiteboard, are permitted, but uses which would undermine sales of teaching materials are not performing, playing or showing copyright works in a school, university or other educational establishment for educational purposes. However, it only applies if ...

Pre Production- Script

  This post contains my script. I originally did not have one or intend to write one but my audience feedback has told me that this is something that would be worthwhile including. As said on other posts, I did not want a narration over the entire video. Instead, short sections of narration will be included that give the video more context but don't remove the focus from the visuals.  SCRIPT- SUNDERLAND CULTURE PROJECT Introduction to the piece 0:00-0:31     Sunderland     We are one of the three big cities in the North East of England and are coming together to make a big change within our community.     We have plans to advance- creatively, collaboratively and culturally.
