Unit 5: Working to a brief evaluation

Working to a brief evaluation

Upon reviewing this production I can say that overall i like the end product. Although we did run into a few problems on the way which included problems with actors, locations and members of the team not fully contributing to the project i believe that in the end it came together pretty well.

 The things I liked were the reconstructions, i thought the way that they were cut together told the story really well and the voiceover accentuated the reconstructions too. I also liked the interviews with Karen Heritage and the higher education performing arts students because they had experience with child entertaiment licenses and could explain what they were, what they did and how to get one should you need it.

There are some areas that i think could do with improvement. The first improvement i would make is the sound in some of the shots towards the end of the reconstruction , i think the sound effect off Dale being run over by a car should have had more of a build up to it and also the ambient sound in the background was a little too loud. I would of also cut the scene in the historical reconstruction where the children are going to work a little differently, the actor who is playing the boss looks at his watch twice, each one in a different shot causing this to look like a continuity error, I would also have cut the interview with Alice Garderner a bit shorter because i think the target audience wouldn't want to listen to an interview which drags on a little bit.
Overall i do like this production and i think it could be successful in the schools that it will be shown in.
