Documentary unit 2&3 reflective analaysis

What worked? We had some very professional looking transitions created in Adobe After Effects. We also had a good sounding and visually pleasing interview with a biology teacher within college. The after effects editing was our strongest part of the documentary.

Why did it work well? We worked together to make sure we got the filming done in time and we let everyone have ago so there was nobody left out and everybody shared their ideas in a creative way. Harry was good at using after effects and did our editing. We had good equipment and everyone in the group was passionate and interesting in creating our documentary.

What could of been improved?
We could of worked a little harder with our sound. As one of the interview's quality of sound wasnt the best and there was a few mistakes where ambient sound was recorded also. To improve next time we may use the correct microphone's needed and make sure we understand how to use the equipment efficiently.

How will you improve your next production?
Step by step making sure each factor of the documentary is finished to our best standards and before moving onto another step, make sure there is no mistakes and take numerous takes in order to get our best efforts.

What new skills did you learn? From talking and watching Harry, i learnt some new skills and techniques/ways to use certain effects in After Effects. This will become handy in future when we produce another production i may be able to learn more skills if i am in the same group as Harry.
