Evaluation of the promotional video

1) What were you asked to do?

We were asked to research about the organisation of Ubuntu Arts and do a promotional video on it, asking them various different questions such as what are the aims of Ubuntu Arts, How was it funded etc.

2a) Who were you making a video about?

We were making a video about the aims and purposes of an organisation called Ubuntu Arts, We were also making the video to promote the organisation which we had been given for other people to see.

2b) What were you making a video about?

We were making a video on promoting Ubuntu Arts organisation by interviewing people who run Ubuntu Arts and asking them various different questions to make a good video on promoting the organisation. 
3) What was the purpose of the video?

The purpose of the video is to promote Ubuntu Arts and raise awarness for the organisation.

4) What did you do in each production stage?

-Pre-Production- We planned what questions we are going to ask the organisation.
-Production- We had intervied everything so before and after so just in case we need it when we had edited our promotional video.
-Post Production-

5) What problems did you encounter and how did you solve them?

The problems we had encounter is making our promotional video flow, and adding text to our video in between. To solve them we had added different themes, graphics, music in the beginning on the video and also found out how to add the text on top of video on where we had wanted it.

6) What were your strengths and weaknesses in each stage?

  • The strengths of pre production is we had used the questions, which we wanted to ask them, the weakness in pre-production was we couldn't finish asking them all our questions because we had run out of time.
  • The strengths of production is we had used the begininng of entering the organisation as the first bit of our video, the weakness is we couldnt edit it well as the person being intervied used "urrmm" quite alot in between.   

7) What is your opinion of the finished product?

"Getting more out of your camera"


Task one:
Exposure: The amount of light collected by the sensor, more light the more brighter the photo is and less light makes the photo dark. I could tell that i have used Exposure in the three photos i have taken as i can see the difference on how much impact the photos have with the amount of light collected by the sensor.







Task two:
Aspect Ratio and megapixcels: Is when an image is captured with a relationship with the width and length with a specific megapixcels.Megapixcels is how much good quality of a picture you want (Number of dots that make up an image). The photos i have captured shows a difference between different ,megapixcels, the higher the megapixcel the better the quality of the photo comes out.
Flash: Flash is used when producing artificial light.


Task three:
White balance: process of removing unrealistic colour from a photo, so if an object appears white in person then it is rendered white in a photo. I have used white balance to see the difference and improvements which it makes to the photos I have captured.


Task four:
ISO: Sensitivity how much light is required to take a good photo.
Lots of light, low ISO is needed and less light, higher ISO is needed. I have used ISO to see the difference between a high and low ISO in a dark place and a lace where there is lots of light.



Task 5:
AF mode: Stands for Auto focus, it relates to which part of the image you are focusing on when taking a picture. I have used AF mode to see the improvements which it makes to the photo as in these three picture i am focusing on the hearts on the pencil case.


Task Six:
Burst Mode: Its when the camera allows several photos to be captured in a quick time,by holding the shutter button down. I have used burst mode to capture the best image out of the six photos that I have captured.
