Colbie Caillat - I Do (Recreation Task)

The video below shows the final out come for the short clip recreation task that my group and I were set.

We were very pleased with final outcome and feel that the we executed the task well. On completion we decided to obtain some audience feed to help us identify ways in which we could improve for future products. We found that the initial pan at the start was too long and should have ended still on the subject rather that continuing to move past, this continuous movement gave the audience the impression that another subject of importance was going to enter the frame from the right and when this did not happen it slightly distracted the audience from being fully engaged in the video. 

Another area of construct raised was that our framing could have been better in the scene in which the girl is creating the frowning pattern with the yellow flower petals. When filming every this in the frame is important and the large void of empty space to the left of the action showed to be another distraction. 

The most positive aspects of the final products include the scene in which the camera pans through the yellow flowers. It was noted that the this specific scene created a vibrant contrast in colors and kept our clip visually appeal to those who watched. The mix of angles were also able to maintain attention and keep the audience interested through out. 

I feel that I was able to keep the clip similar to the original as well as including our own ideas and trying out different hings such as the final scene of the green post-it note. From this task my group and I were able to get a good feel for where we would like to take our final production and ideas and techniques that we would like to include in it. 

If i were to carry out this task again I would pay more attention to the smaller details and check shots more frequently as this will help to create a more professional product and I will certainly carry this out in future filming.

Next I will continue final production planning and continue with my product research.
