Sound video feedback and learner response

 Sound video feedback and learner response



1) Type up your feedback from your teacher.
  • Minor technical issue- project settings/picture size
  • superb production that meets the brief impressively- well done!
  • reversing contrapuntal and parallel really works- fantastic choice of music and excellent selection of clips
  • editing is a particular strength- pace and length of clips and in particular the final shot with the camera movement to the chandelier

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students - you can summarise key points if several students give you similar feedback.

WWW:
  • parallel fits perfectly
  • clips matched music
  • clips were good
  • amazing contrapuntal and parallel clips
  • good choice of clips and music
  • the clips fit well, good music choice
EBI:
  • could be smoother
  • editing could be better
  • make the production full screen
  • clips were not stretched to full screen- was a bit jarring
  • one minute, lack of variety
  • parallel clips all similar

3) Now reflect on your work and write your own evaluation of your video. Write a 'What went well' (WWW) paragraph and a paragraph for 'Even Better If' (EBI) underneath the rest of your feedback.

WWW: I think the classical sound I chose matched my clips to show the effect of parallel and contrapuntal sound.

EBI: I could change up the parallel clips as they were all clips of dances, so I would change that so that there is more variety of other clips showing parallel sound along with the music. I would need to make sure that all the clips in my work are the same size and to smooth out transitions so they don't look messy.

4) Learner response: compare your own video against your evaluation of the top three videos in the class. Whose did you think was best and why? How could you have improved your own video?

In my opinion, the top three were Matas, Anas and Cassius. I loved Anas' video the most as he mixed up cartoons clips with real life movie clips and it contrasted really well as well as the sound he used for parallel and contrapuntal. Matas and Cassius' videos for this task also contrasted really nicely with the sounds they selected. I could improve my video by implementing some cartoon clips to make it look more engaging and creative. 

5) Finally, what have you learned about the importance of sound to film and TV through this week's work?

Sound is so important to film and TV as it draws audiences in with what they're watching and makes them evoke a range of emotions. It can build tension and suspense and the music can also foreshadow what could happen next. Sound sets the tone and mood of our surroundings and can make the audience feel engaged and actually feel like they're in the story themselves.

  Film regulation and the BBFC 1) Research the  BBFC  in more detail: what is the institution responsible for? How is it funded? What link does it have to government? This  history of the BBFC page  may help. 'The BBFC is here to help everyone in the UK choose age-appropriate films, videos and websites, wherever and however they watch or use them'. The BBFC helps children and families choose well by providing them with the guidance they need to help them choose what's right for them and avoid what's not . It is funded through charged fees. The BBFC is a non governmental organisation. 2) Read this  BBFC guide to how films are rated . Summarise the process in 50 words. "Solo viewing" refers to watching DVDs by yourself. Compliance Officers often experience the effect when they see films that are released in theatres. Compliance Officers will collaborate with an interpreter when there are no subtitles and the information is in a language that none of the team mem
