Film & TV Language: Sound video feedback and learner response

 Video feedback/learner response

Create a new blogpost called 'Sound video feedback and learner response'. Make sure your video is on YouTube and embedded on your blog and then complete the following tasks:

1) Type up your feedback from your teacher.

WWW:

• Good dissolve transitions between images
• Good pace used
• Effective images
• Unsettling contrapuntal section, shocking
• Good fade out ending.

EBI:

• Some low resolution shots, better to use high quality
• Avoid watermarked images

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

WWW:

• Good ending
• Good editing (Black fades and dissolve)
• Good choice of music (contrasting as well)

EBI

• Better choice of images
• Higher quality images

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:

What I did well was utilise a combination of fade effects, and "dissolve" effects while doing my editing. It allowed the clip to flow the images together well. Also, I think my choice of music was also something that I did well. This is because the music was parallel with the images in the first 30 seconds, but very contrapuntal

EBI

What I could have done better was one, use higher quality/ resolution images to provide a more authentic feel, and also avoid using watermarked images

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?

I think Laiyla's clip was the best because I enjoyed her specific choice in music, combined with the videos and clips she used.

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

I have learned that a sound being parallel to a piece of film and TV, and a sound being contrapuntal to a piece of film and TV can give two very significantly different effects, and it is very important to keep note of this.
