Evaluation of Franklin Start

with the Franklin start I tried many different types of media. First was the music video which was something i understood and really wanted to create but the setting up of it did seem a problem as well as the matching a song to a video. Next was the documentary which was again interesting and would let me look into things that interest me. It did have the problem of being need to be taken very serious as documentary are not normal funny which was something i found difficult but was willing to work on. Next was the video game advert which was again very similar to the other two and something i would consider doing but again a video game advert would be hard when keeping with the sort of feel and theme of the game. Last was the magazine which was an interesting idea and like the documentary was something i could do about an interesting topic but making the magazine was not my strong point and i had trouble with the soft-ware i used.

In the end i have decide i will make a music video as it was something i found interesting and with one of my group members being in a band it felt like the one we would be best suited to.  

Magazin attempt

Pros and Cons of a magazine

There are many pros and cons to making a magazine. some of the pros are you will again have a lot of creativity like in the other 3 probably more with the magazine being of your choice and about anything you like. It will also be easy for you to create as you would all ready know a lot about the subject you picked. It is also something you can do much easier on your own so if you don't have a group you can do this just as well as someone with a group. The problems with magazine covers are they need a lot of work with a front cover and a double page spread filled with info. when compered to a documentary or music video where it is much easier to do with less work then a double page spread. it also again like the others has to look professional because again like the other its easy for it not to be. There is also the problem of the softer wear you use with it being difficult for some people to use where others might find it easy to use it all depends on the individual.

Videogame Advertisment Pro's & Con's

The pros and cons of a video game advert are many different things. A pro to making a video game advert is there is a lot of freedom in the creative side of it. This means as long as your ideas is video game related it can be as creative as you want. Making it live action also mean it can be made more funny then maybe the other topics as live action video game adverts use humour. It also can be easy to relate back to the project as your trying to advertise a game with certain character and plots where a music video or documentary needs a plot to focuser on it. Again there are many negatives to a video game advert. one is the need for it to be live action as getting game footage is hard to do.  Also there is creativity but it must always lead back to the main force of the video game and what it can do. The video game advert like all the other things needs to look professional and not amateur which means it will need a lot of hard work and can't be rushed.

Documentary Feedback

We got lots of feedback about our documentary. Many said it was entertaining to watch but could have been taken more professional with it looking quite amateur compared to others. They also said how the interviews were full of info and felt like interviews in a real documentary. they did so how we could have added more information like stats and techniques but that the info which was present was good and informative. the pacing of the documentary was also said to be to fast pace with it not giving the viewer time to think properly as it was already on to the next bit but they said the music help keep them entertained during the transitions. mostly the feedback was about having a proper plan instead of improvising so much and that with a proper plan we might have been able to get more information into a documentary. I feel if i was making it again i would add a lot of changes that i have received from my feedback. first off i would have tried to make it more professional with less improvising. i would try to edit it so it feels less jerky with some of the editing feeling clunky and not as smooth i would like it. I would have also like to make it feel not as fast pace giving the viewers time to think and remember stuff in the documentary. it would also have been nice to add more infomation into my documentary just so it feel more like a documentary. I would have also made a plan just so we knew what we was doing when making the documentary. it would have helped with a plan as we would have an order to edit it into and also to keep the interviews in a better order making it easy to watch.

Documentary Attempt

Documentary pros and cons

There are many pros to doing a documentary one is you can chose to topic so it can be something very serious or something less serious like famous singers or actors. These many choices mean it can be very easy to get started and have a simple plan. a script is much easy to make for  a documentary with the information already there. a positive and negative can be creativity with this meaning you can try make your documentary very creative but will make it more difficult. some of the cons are very simile to that of a music video with it needing to look professional which mean it will take a lot of time and possible money. They also need footage record your self which in some topics can be very hard to do and might cause problems when working. also you will need to do huge amount of research on some topics to make sure that your documentary is factual and not  just made up

Pros and Cons of Music Videos

There are many pros and cons to making a music video. The pros of making a music video is it is much easy to plan with it being a very basic idea, it has a lot of options to chooses from like the 4 different types of music video it could be like narrative or  Surrealist. The cons of making a music video are it need a lot of people and locations depending on the idea so an advanced idea for your music video will be harder to do, it has to look professional as making one can look very amateur if not done properly this can be a main reason for not doing a music video. It also can be expensive with real bands needing to book equipment and a locations for them to be filmed in.
