Intro to Factual

I have recently finished my Intro to Factual module and found it to be very interesting. I found it interesting as I like filming real people not characters and covering true stories. This is what I am looking to choose on level 5 and beyond as a career.

I was happy with the way that the product turned out as there were a few problems. There are a number of things that I would change if I was to do this production again.
Firstly I would film more cutaways as the ones that we have didn't seem to be very relevant to what Paul was talking about in the video. This would have allowed us to include more relevant footage in the edit and make it a better production.
Secondly I would have shortened some of the Interview as the video does become boring in places as Paul talks for too long and starts to go off topic. Also we had run out of cutaways to use at this point and this meant that we had to leave the interview on screen for long periods of time. If we had changed these point it would have made it a better production as we would have been able to disguise the cuts more in the edit and cut down on the time Paul was onscreen.
Lastly I would have spent more time on the sound. The sound that we had captured was not the best as we did not record any sound externally on the other shoots which meant that we could only include the sound from the interview as well as an ambient track to disguise the cuts in the audio. However we could not have captured sound on the penshaw location as it was far too windy.

The finished Product can be found on my YouTube channel.
