AD5805: Reflection on 60 Second Documentary

In this video I have created a client profile on the Athletics Club at the University of Gloucestershire. In this I have included an interview from a member of athletics who helps to run and I have included suited clips of the sessions to show what goes on at athletics. What I think has gone well about this assignment is that I have used clips of running and warming up which is what has been talked about in the interview. including the natural sound of these clips has helped the video because it provides the “Nat sound breaks” and just an atmosphere towards the sport that is being talked about. I also think that the clips of the interviewee are strong because I have placed them well where they aren’t looking at the camera and I have managed to blur out the background so that the focus is on the subject rather than the whole frame, without making the background too boring.

The improvements I could make to my videos and video editing skills ahead of my assignment 2 video could be looking in to using a wider range of media. this could include using photos rather than just videos to support what is being said in the interviews. I think that I can also try different types of shots. This could include having people running towards the camera as this will be different to the front on shots of the runners. I will also try out close up shots of peoples trainers to see how that works with the interview.

Altogether I think that I have produced a client profile video well but however can see areas where I need to improve and I will be able to make these improvements in the second video.
