Humpty Dumpty News Today Evaluation

Humpty Dumpty News Today Evaluation In my factual fairy tale video on Humpty Dumpty we had things that went really well while some things were not so good. The things that went well in our trailer I think is firstly the editing of the video, I think the effects like the time and the scroll bar work really well as I put time into it . The filler shots like the crane I think we’re a good idea, it was something that fit the story and weren’t too long so they weren’t boring. The filming wasn’t too bad either because the majority of the filming was done on a tripod. Things we could improve on was firstly the pace of the video, overall I feel it is quite slow when in fact it should be fast and exciting as it is such an important issue in the video. I also feel that my introduction wasn’t very good; my other group members picked better ones first and did not me to choose the same one as them so I go the one I got. The film followed mostly our storyboard and script, but certain things like the locations were changed due to us not being able to film there believe the trailer met most audience expectations. In my news report there were things that every news report should have, a reporter, an anchor and the general public in the background, the things I thought the video lacked though were facts on the screen and more props we could have used like a different outfit for the people being interviewed as they all wearing the same clothes. In my group there were 3 people, me, Jordan Wardle and Matt Lumley Overall we performed well. I was the reporter and I feel I gave a good performance however near the end the wind is quite loud and we should have filmed somewhere else. Jordan got interviewed and did well but when he speaks it sounds like it is scripted and should flow better. Matt was the anchor and I thought he did really well. Before filming we did all our pre-production, we researched what a news report looks like and making our own front cover of a newspaper using our topic of Humpty Dumpty. We looked at different factual media formats so we could choose how to portray our story and also looked into the nursery rhyme and see how other people have twisted it. We also made a storyboard so we knew when to film certain things and how to. From my peers my feedback was overall very good. The story was conveyed well, the camera work was good meaning there was no shaking of the camera and the shot types were good, the editing I was told was good with the attention to detail making the time go up and the right time. Things I could have improved on were the props, we didn’t use many, and we should off to make the video look overall better, the video also needed to be more face paced and so the introduction at the beginning didn’t help with it being slow and boring.
