Evaluation for Independent Media Practice

 

Evaluation:

First of all, it was a very interesting unit to be part of. I learned how to be independent on my work , especially when it came for the video production. In the beginning we started building our own reputations by producing a post in our blogs weekly, which then started to lead us for our main project.

 

We were given the option to produce a work of our own choice, which is quite unique as we were able to express ourselves better and show what we can do. Originally, I planned to do something related to football, but due to the global pandemic, it was impossible as contact football was stopped from the local authorities and there was nothing I could do about it.

 

Then I came up with a different idea but appealing to the audience. I decided to create a pizza capriciossa (recipe) targeting especially all the food lovers out there. The creator of the pizza was my Nan, as she had recent experiences in this type of sector. I filmed with one camera, and I think I did a good job keeping in mind the situation we’re in.

 

My biggest strength was that what I had in mind regarding shots etc.. come out perfectly in the end result. On the other hand, my biggest weakness was the voice-over as already said in other units, this year was the first time I was producing voice-overs of such a high level. Some Improvements that I would surely do in the future are camera shots/angles.

 

I think that is the part that needs the most improvement alongside with the voice-over. The best thing that I learned from this unit is how to manage your own work alone and the use of time management that helps you produce a good final product. I am overall happy with my work and want to make it even better next time.
