Evaluation of the Preliminary task
The first point we received during evaluation of our
documentary was that we needed to improve the quality
of our pictures as they were blurry and people said they
could not see the images. It is important that we have clear
images as if we don’t then the audience/viewers will not be able to clearly see what the
image is about or what we are trying to communicate through
these pictures.
Improvements
The second piece of advice we received was that the area where we held the interviews needed to be
altered so that it was more related to the topic of phones. To do this we
could include props and multiple examples of
mobile phones so that it is ensured that the audience
knows what the documentary is about.
Improvements
The third piece of criticism gained from the evaluation of our documentary was
that people said that the interview audio is very quiet and was hard to hear the
interviewee throughout the documentary. it is crucial that we change
this as if the viewers can't hear our interviewees then there is no point
having them in the documentary as no one can understand what they are saying.
The interviewees have one of the most important jobs in the documentary as
they provide opinions and facts. People also said the environment where the interviews were carried out was also
noisy and this is one of the reasons why the interviewees couldn’t be heard
therefore in order to correct this we need to find an environment where it is certain
that there will be no noise or interruptions throughout the interviews.
Improvements
The final piece of criticism we received was that the
editing and cuts in the interview were a bit too
jumpy meaning the documentary would cut
from shot to shot too quickly making the
documentary look badly edited and sometimes
resulting in the interviewee being cut off.
Improvements
When it came to the positive feedback about
our documentary the first thing mentioned was that
we had a good range/multiple interviews and this is a crucial part of
making a successful documentary as having a wide range of interviews
means a variety of different people are interviewed
gaining different opinions and beliefs from each
person and this is important as it ensures the
documentary doesn’t become biased or focused
on one side/opinion.
What we did well
The second complement from the evaluation was
that people agreed that the music we chose to put in
the documentary was good as it related to the topic of
the documentary whilst making it more upbeat and
exciting keeping the audience/viewers
interested and this is essential. We also had
music playing very quietly in the background of the interviews again to keep the documentary upbeat
and interesting.
