FINISHING PRODUCT
Overall, I am pleased with this final product. I wouldn’t say completely happy because I’ve seen some awesome traveling videos and mine definitely doesn’t live up to this. If I had more time and the student had more time, I would film him on his journey with him so I can get more professional shots of him cycling etc. I think the text overlays that have the information of Connor’s key travel points are a big help especially taking into account the target audience. It doesn’t look as professional but the target audience are young male and females so having the video too professional would have not engaged them or related to them enough. Through the video diary, the target audience looking to attend this particular audience may think ‘Oooh I can do that, I like to cycle, I get the train everywhere, if he cane do it then so can I”.
One massive part I hate is the ending. Connor, the subject, filmed himself saying “I made it to college” then looked out the window and said “oh crap” and stopped filming. As a result of this, I could not have the smooth ending to the video that I would have wanted which is a great shame. So that is the reason the ending sounds as though it was cut short….because it was. But there was nothing I could do about it ufortunately!
I’m excited for what the future holds and there will definitely be some more home-made videos in that bracket! A massive thank you to my lectures for the new learning and information shown in order for me to produce these videos. It’s all been a huge learning curve!
