AICE Media Studies

 

 

 

 

This is my first time doing a Final Task for AICE Media, and it's safe to say I am very happy and pleased with the video. Even though I did this Solo, I still had a great time producing this and making it really neat. Everything went smooth and I am proud of the skills and values I learned from this film.   

 After I received the feedback, I knew I had to make the changes. Since one of his main suggestions was shorten longer scenes. I went back to editing on Capcut and trimmed them up. Now it feels a lot smoother than before. Another thing I did was adjust the audio so they were all at the same sound level. I didn't want it to distract from the mood. That is why I lowered it.

This would help me with figuring out what the audience actually wants. I asked my friend to do it, and they said yes. While watching, I paid attention to how they analyzed it. After it ended, I asked for their thoughts. They said the theme was clear. I asked them what the theme was, and they were able to tell me. This let me know I did a good job of portraying it. However, there were a few things I could improve on in their eyes. They told me some moments felt too long. They also said to tighten up some of my transitions. They mentioned that some audio was louder than others. I am thankful they were honest, and it helped me a lot with my project improvement. The feedback from someone not in my group is a really valuable extra perspective. They allowed me to see minor improvements that I may not have seen without them. I am going to go back and...
