When making my interactive video I thought that working with Amir was good because I thought I knew what I thought would look good visually but when it came to filming he got different shot of me whereas the shot that I put on my script was basically mid shots of me and being a creative person Amir got mid shots of me but in different positions from behind me to looking down on me. I thought my location was good because it showed my personality. The location where I shot my interactive video was in a park, I think it showed my personality because it was a calm area which also could be loud and fun where I could mess about. I used a hand held camera to shot because using a tripod I wouldn’t be able to get some of the shots likes the tracking shot and the above looking down shot.

when I was editing my interactive video I thought I t was a bit difficult trying to make all the footage with go together like making each shot run smoothly but as I got into it I experimented more with speeding up some of my shots and slowing them down. In my scripted I did say I was going to add montages of photos but when I got to editing I couldn’t get my photos on to the computer so I had to re think how to make my video interesting and show my personality. I used sound effect which was crickets which made my video funny and I used music by Tinie Tempa which played throughout my video profile. Overall I definitely think the editing process improved my video profile.

The aspect that I am most pleased about is my blog I liked how it made work seem fun and not like all the typical assignments we had because all we had to do was upload everything on the blog and not submit to a teacher. I thought the blog was a way to put our own stamp on the work like we could have whatever background we wanted which would show our personality and creativity at the same time.
I showed my video profile to my family and the feedback I received was ok, they said that I should have been more natural instead reading off a script but they liked how it was put together and how I speeded up some of my footage, also they said I could have put pictures of me spending time with my friends and family just to make it look interesting. The feedback I got I felt was positive but also helped me with what I could have done better next time.

The aspect of the video production that I’m not so happy about is that I didn’t get to visually make my video profile how I planned to make it because the images I wanted put on it I couldn’t because of the phone the pictures were on, also when I was filming I kept looking down at my script because I kept forgetting what to say, which made my editing difficult.

I think I could have planned more given more time and maybe had a backup of photographs which would have been easier to put on the computer I was editing on. I think even though I had the script I think I could have improvised more to make it seem more natural and so you could really see the more me.
