After you have uploaded your personal profile to the blog you need to write a short reflective piece about the video. Reflection is important as it gives you the opportunity to think about what went well with your video and what didn’t go so well and more importantly what you would do differently next time. This is crucial so that when you make your next video you won’t repeat past mistakes.
So make sure you cover the following points in your reflection:
What went well?
What pleased you about making the video? (Equipment, working as a team, content, script, locations, framing etc)
first time you had used this sort of software, do you think they the editing process improved your raw material, did you add any images, music, sound effects…?)
What aspects of the final video are you most pleased about? (having a blog so that everyone can see it, receiving feedback from your friends, making a comprehensive video that answers the project brief etc)
What positive feedback did you receive and how did this make you feel?
What aspects of the video production were you not so happy with? (technical difficulties, team members being absent? The weather meaning you had to alter your plans, access to equipment etc)
<For each aspect of the video production that you weren’t happy with, what could you do next time to avoid it happening again?
