1st reflection about production

2nd reflection
|
First of all, the reason why I chose this type is I was interested in what happens if we imitated the music video, and also I really like to listen and watch music production. When we selected a music video, we focused on things about there are not difficult motions, there are enough number of people who are acted by us, whether we are able to shoot by alone or not and it is famous song. However, just after we started shooting, I noticed there are so many scenes to take (probably over 85 cuts), and some people did dancing which were too difficult to do. Actually, we have not found any good ideas to deal with them yet, so these are the biggest difficulties for us. Secondly, I felt it was efficient that having decided person who shoot the videos, and gathering videos on an iPad because I was able to know which scenes has not done easily and I could edit any time. Also, I think next difficulties will be editing because as I said there are a lot of scenes, so to match the timing is most important fact. Fortunately, iMovie is capable of cutting or adjusting the speed, we have to fix very finely. Lastly, I am planning to use a doll to address difficult dancing, or using the function of fast forwarding. I am really looking forward to the outcome when every videos got together. |
Firstly, I will review about our works. We used many types of clothes or accessories to mimic the characters. It was hard to prepare almost similar clothes, so I tried to use most attractive point which represents the characters exactly. Having finished shooting, I felt that it works because if colour or motion looked matched with original video and our one. Although there were being looked difficult dances or motions, one of our members was able to dance well.
Secondly, I am going to talk about how was group. I think my group were able to very well in the end, however the process was not well organized because we could not finish by the last class, so we have to do some extra times. I believe if we did shooting more quickly from the beginning, and work separately, it would be done more easily. In the view from cooperation, it was not bad. I thought we could take part in almost equally, and we decided each roles depends on our ability or potential. Also, sharing photos helps me to know which scenes have to be shot. Lastly, I found many improvements for the next like making schedule or being well prepared. In the following time, I would like to do more efficiently than this time. |
Survey analysis
I was able to know many people enjoyed watching because there are a lot of positive comments or positive result. This graph is most interesting for me because although most results shows over 70% people chose rate 5, there were a few people who chose less than 3. So, I would like to add following question like “Why did you choose this number?“. In this survey, we could get information about our good points, but we hardly could receive negative comment. It helps me to have unique ideas or suggestions. Also, I want to add “Please give advice to be improved our work.”to know how could we get better.
Final reflection
Backward-Looking:
How much did you know about the subject before we started? -I have known about there was project of 24hours happy, so I could expect there are many scenes. In what ways do you think you need to improve? -According to the survey, our video's timing could be more precise. What problems did you encounter while you were working on this piece? How did you solve them? -We found it difficult to do break dance, so we changed into Cossack dance. Inward-Looking: What did/do you find frustrating about it? -Being matched timings made me to frustrated because it would be change drasticaly such a small gap. What were your standards for this piece of work? -We tried to be same either color of clothes or shape of character's wearings at reast. In addition, movements were important for us to be distinguished people, so we also paid attention to them. Did you meet your standards? -I think mostly, but some dancings or motions were different from original. |
Outward-Looking:
Did you do your work the way other people did theirs? -I used iMovie to edit, and I think it was used by other groups. In what ways did you do it differently? -We used also iMovie to gathering original and our work, but some mucis video's groups used premire to edit. What grade would you give it? Why? -I would like to grade A because it looks like enjoyable to audience and quality is enough. However, as the survey shows, there are some improvements. Forward-Looking: One thing I would like to improve upon is... -Timing because survey shows us it was not perfect. What will you change in the next revision of this piece? -I will change our appearance. Accoeding to the survey, a few people felt it was difficult to distingish each characters, so I want to revise it. What would you like to spend more time on in school? -I would like to spend more time to edit because it took much more time what I expected. |
