1. My product was delivered exactly on time; with not a moment to spare or a
moment over. For what I have been researching these past weeks I believe
my video matches up to what I have seen of ‘Social Action Videos’ online, on
sites and Youtube. It tells you the issue I am addressing (with background
information), it then states what my chosen social project do for the
community including the issue at hand. I give information on what else it holds
and does for the Bourne End community as well. My video contains footage
shot by myself with permission from the head of the community center
allowing me to also publish online for future viewing. Likewise my video, all
pre-production and paperwork was also in on time. Paperwork included
proposal form, location forms etc.
They were satisfied with my production as I completed all 7 criteria points that
needed to be within my video which were; Interviews, Voice overs, Facts
about issue, Cut away footage, Archive footage, end credits with thank you to
section and also music. I finished on time with schedule that I set myself; I
didn’t want to plan myself too early because I wanted to use all the time I was
given, and of course I didn’t want to plan late because then I would miss my
deadline and fail. I worked alone within my project; I didn’t need help with
filming as I had use to a tripod which in my interview worked great rather than
having someone hold the camera the whole time. I can’t think of a time where
I would have needed someone’s help while filming my production so working
alone suited me well. I kept up to date with keep the customer update to date
with what I was up too and when every week so I was not withholding
information from them.
Working alone I feel always works better for me because I have full control of
my project and also what goes on. When working in a team I don’t believe I
am controlling with getting my ideas and thoughts out more the opposite, I
don’t like to jump out and try to take over anything. Working alone brings out
what I can do because the only person I am saying no to is myself. I was able
to research and plan who I was going to meet and interview with which after
some moving around went great.
I believe my project was successful, it contains everything asked, it gives facts
on the issue, and gives information on how they association helps. If I was to
go back and change some things first of all I was not happy with how my
introduction went, I had a great idea of filming the walk to the community
center and then speeding it up while I did a voice over too it. While walking
the camera was shaking around a lot and then so once sped up you really
couldn’t tell what was going on. I managed to do my best with the footage I
got, but I don’t think shows you what the idea was behind it as well as it could
have. While I was at the Bourne End community center gave me a tour of the
building, I wish I had taken a film of it or taken some pictures for my video
also. There was nothing that the customer asked for that I missed, just some
personal aspects I would personally like to improve on. Some things that held
me back would be only able to use one camera while working alone. I would

2. have liked to have used two cameras while filming my interview. One camera
on me and one on the interviewee.
