Our group was made up of seven people in order to produce this instructional video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf4gwUHbTlQ
Our team was set up with roles before the beginning of production:
Me, Izzy and Rory as actors.
Derry as camera man.
Eddy as lighting.
Megan as sound.
And Amy as the director.
I was one of three actors that would show up in the video. my role was to show up during the demonstration of how to set up the camera in the video. I also became one of the two editors who worked on the footage in post production. The filming however was rather difficult since no planning was done before the filming. To make things more difficult during the filming multiple members of the group had different ideas on how to film the video meaning that the the filming took longer than necessary and the director didn't make too many of the decisions in the end. A couple of members didn't seem to contribute as much as others.
However the majority of members worked hard once the filming got going and footage captured was at a good standard.
The camera work was very well done and showed all of the smaller, important parts of the equipment such as the camera switches and tripod level dial.
The light setting was also well done and the video was good at showing the difference between no light and with light, however the actual set up of the lights footage was missed.
The sound equipment was shown and the narration was balanced with the clips and could be heard over the background music which made the video flow better. However the actual narration misses full explanation such as talking about the dead cat etc. This was due to the editors and actors rushing to finish in time during post production, also we did not have any direction from the sound member during filming.
All in all the video is at a good standard and shows all of the main components of an interview, it simply misses a few details.
