Good elements:
- He mentions a lot of different technologies that he's used. This shows that he is experienced with media and technology, but also that he used the most up to date software and programs to make his video the best that he could. He mentions everything that he has used throughout the entire process, and gives a clear understanding of how he used them and why.
- He uses Quicktime to produce screen recordings of everything that he is doing whilst he is saying. For example, when he talks about Youtube, he shows himself clicking on the certain video that he was researching and how he found it. I found this extremely clear and very simple to understand because it shows exactly what he is talking about, rather than the audience having to guess. He shows a lot of excerpts from his music video throughout, and gives the audience a clear understanding of exactly what his music video, locations, actress and mise-en-scene looked like.
- Throughout this video he has used relevant and up to date knowledge and vocabulary to make his analysis very technical. He has used the vocabulary in all the correct places and gives the impression that he knows exactly what he is talking about.
Bad elements:
- I think that this video had too much content! He talks about everything in this video that he used at all times such as emails etc. Some of the things he was analysing I found myself getting quite bored because it wasn't really relevant to the filming and planning processes.
- I also think that his analysis could have been a little more in depth. Because he was trying to fit a lot of things in, he didn't include as much analysis as he could have. However, he does fit a small amount of good quality analysis into the video, and his analysis is very insightful and reflective.
So after watching this video I've learnt that we need to include a lot of good quality analysis, rather than trying to fit every bit of technology that we used in to the video. I've also learnt that by using quicktime and adding screenshots, and pieces of the video into the evaluation, it makes the video eye catching and entertaining.
