My Experimental Video

Evaluation



My Video Evaluation
My experimental video was well put together. The video itself talks for itself. The audience may not realize but they were criticizing the experimental video, which mean it did its effects. My production week was a success as I manage to get my entire scene for my experimental video. I thought myself that my video was that good. At the beginning of the video the sound was very low. One of the scene was really bad the last punch before the end, I think its because it wasn’t well shoot. By creating my own sound I think this also had an effect on the audiences, as it was new to them. The music is some how the whole point of the video in a way. I was trying express a dream in a dream and in a dream most of the time there are no sound so I did the inverse. Oh at the beginning my idea wasn’t a dream in a dream it was going to be a pass out. You know when you about to die you would have a flash back I was going to do that but flash forward. Then something went through my mind thinking keep it simple but make it complicated. That’s how I came up with the idea. What was the out come of my video, it was a very weird video I think no exact word could ever express what I was producing. In a way I was trying to get the audiences to ask question an answer by question. Was the video similar/ different from what I had planned yes it was completely I was supposed to include about five more scene but I took them off. These scenes were the animation one and the scene in the lift. I had to take them off, as they didn’t fit the actual video. The reading of you video by the audience the one you intended was quit negative most of the time I agree with them but some of my audiences didn’t anything about experimental video this mean you could do anything an call it experimental. The video doesn’t have to make sense and feel connected. I had so many good feedbacks for my sound effect I was so please with that. If I had to do it again I would chose a different topic as I learn that general audiences don’t like complicating thing, production or video. What would I change the idea, location better one, also the use of light and try to make an even better sound effect.


My Exhibition Evaluation

My exhibition wasn’t a success at first, as I didn’t have any chance to show my experimental video in the location that I had chosen. So I chosen a different location, which was room T-47 floor four because student from this floor would exactly know what the video is about. The Audiences kinder find it difficult to understand the video at the beginning then near the end of the video they finally understood. It was still on the same day that I show my video to my friend in the classroom on my Laptop. By show it in the dark I kinder drag the audience in the video. At the end of the showing I realize that even though that it wasn’t in the chosen location it turn out to be a successful exhibition.

The production and post-production diary

Production

The production went almost as I plane I used tow location four floor and ground floor. The combination of those location had created a confuse scene which I was planning to do. When I finish to get ready for filming I make sure that no one were around. During the production I change some scene from the original for example there was that on close up I could get it so I change it to a long shot. I also chose to add more scenes in the experimental video because I thought it wouldn’t make sense. By taking off some scenes of the experimental video I balance the outcome of the video. It took me longer than I thought in production because I had to help everyone with his or her video.


Post-Production

Post –Production was really confusing at the beginning then it became easier. I didn’t want to use the technique that teachers were telling me to use but at the end I had too. I try to express the experience that I been though before which was a dream in a dream. It was like a race against time my Post-Production. This too took me longer to finish I had to remove some scene in the experimental video. I had to remove the animated out of the video because it was quit confusing. In Post-Production I used lots of effects such as overlaps and time laps. This special effect helps to make my production come to life as I was in my dream again. The reason I call this video a life time Journey is that when you watch the video you would feel that it longer like there is no ending.
