participant reviews


Amber
Amber said she likes it because it’s funny, there’s humour in it and she likes the way it’s been edited and she thinks it’s funny because of what was said.

Ben
Ben said he likes the idea of the video and that a lot of the funny stuff that was said wasn’t edited out there for it was more entertaining.

Keiran
I think that the video is very professional looking video. It looks like an official job interview has been filmed by a hidden camera. Very Good.

video project review


Video project review.
I think I’ve done alright in this project, there are a few things like the quality, lighting and locations I think I could’ve improved on because the image was a little blurry, the lighting was poor and the conference room where we filmed was a little cramped but I like my video and I’m happy that it’s over and done with.
What went well was that we actually found a good interview location which was in the conference room, I was planning to do it A101 that’s the room next to us but the visual arts people were using it as they do all the time so we had to look for somewhere else. There were also less outtakes in the real one because we all knew what it was we had to do this time whereas in the practice shoot we weren’t very organised so we screwed up and got 12 takes of rubbish.
What didn’t go very well was the laughing and pausing between the questions and ben making amber laugh while she had a mouthful of coke and making her spit it everywhere, “thanks ben” so next time I don’t think I would have food in the interview room because it’s too distracting. There was also the problem in the interview room about the grass cutter guy outside making a lot of noise and making ben and amber laugh and the fact that the teacher next door to us had to keep walking through to talk to this grass cutter man but luckily that didn’t really get in the way it was the noise that was the problem. Although I didn’t like the idea that amber was pretending she was pregnant I went through with it anyway because I thought it might add a bit of comedy to the video.
So thanks to the people who took part J
