Evaluation On RDWWA

what were  you asked to do?

We were asked to make a promotion video for a charity from Basis.

Who/what were you making a video about and whats was the purpose?

 We made the video for the Red bridge disabled women’s welfare association, or all know as RDWWA. Their vision is for Asian ladies to live joyful and healthy lives. Are aim was to make a promotional video for them to get people more aware of who they are and what they do.  The video is also to get people to help out and be involved in the charity as any Asian woman can join them.

What did you do in each production stage?

Pre-Production- I had to first research a little about Basis and what type of Charity they help out. When i got assigned with Red bridge disabled women’s welfare association i did more research just on that one chairty. I then had to email the person who runs the chairity to get fottage for my video.

Production- We got a reply for the interview and we went to the ladies house to record some footage that we used to make the promotional video. We also got some footage about there group which showed us mostly them at an event of theirs.
Post-Production- We started by importing all them footage we got in the interview. We watched though the clips to see what information is relevant and started putting some footage together in iMovies. I then went onto making some graphics for the video. I then imported the graphics into the video which were arranged in correct order. After this i had to export it onto youtube.

what problems did you encounter and how did you solve them?

we had a lack of interaction footage so it was hard to make the video more existing as there wasn't much to use as cut aways. This was because we didn't go to one of there meeting and we only had an interview with the lady who runs the place. Although we lacked footage we still had enough to put in the correct place to make the video less boring. Another problem we had was organising the interview as we didn't get a reply. This was easily resolved by just emailing again and we got a response.

What were your strengths and weaknesses in each stage?

My main strengths would of been using camera language in a correct and well thought-out way, as i personally thought the footage i recorded was following the rules i have learned with camera language. My weakest point would of be the pre-production all together as i found it hard to find and make sense of the information about the charity and how it works. But in post-production i found editing the footage quite difficult while making the graphics and finding music relatively easy as there wasn't much useful footage that we had.

What is your opinion of the finished product?

I think that the finished product could of been quite a lot better if we had more time because we could of went to one of there events and got better and more footage to use. But presides having little footage to work with i think the finished video has met it target and purpose.
