Consumerism trailer evaluation/group -EMMA

Group evaluation 


Consumerism trailer evaluation
For this assignment as a group we had to film a trailer that involved vox pox footage each group was  given subject like for instance 3D printing, social media ect. My group’s given subject was consumerism. I feel that the trailer I made fit the target audience perfectly because I feel that the trailer really highlighted how consumerism is getting out of control.  

I was aiming my trailer for ordinary shoppers and I feel that my trailer fit the purpose and target audience for instance because it was filmed in an ordinary shopping center and showed a lot of common shops that everyone passes on weekly bases.

I feel that the footage i gathered really represented consumerism as a day to day thing I feel that by showing real shops and real people walking passed them really emphasis the fact that consumerism is an everyday struggle and that it effects everyone I also feel that the way the camera was framed made the footage look to a professional standard and I think this really benefited my trailer

But however I feel that the quality of some of the footage we gathered didn't look as clear as the rest of the footage we got because the focus wasn't thst good  because most of the people that walking passed the camera didn't like the fact that we were filming them so to put them at ease and avoid any legal problems we made the camera out of focus.

I also feel that the audio track I used in the trailer really completed it  because I feel that it made the watcher really have an idea of what the trailer was trying to represent and I feel that if the audio wasn't involved then it would have be harder to understand the message that the  trailer was trying to convey

The only thing I feel that didn't look professional in the final edit was the fact that three of the Vox pops were filmed in front of a green screen because I feel that the green screen didn’t look as realistic like the first vox pop which was filmed outside I also feel that if I would have had more time I could have done vox popped older people so that the trailer could have shown different age groups.
If I could have improved on anything I would have improved on the group effort on the work because I feel that we should have communicated more with each other so that filming wasn’t left for last minute I also feel that we should have organised more days for us to meet up so that we could have planned more days to do filming, also so that we could have had a bit more time to prepare for the presentation that we had to do.

Some of my peer group watched my trailer. They said that they really liked the fact that the trailer involved rhetorical questions because it really made the watcher question themselves and really made them think closely on what was being asked they also said that they like the “length of the trailer because it wasn't long and by having it short it helped keep the watchers engaged” they also said that they “liked the fact normal shops where shown and that you could see a range of different people walk passed theses shops” they said it made it look as it the camera was just a person walking around looking at all the signs.
