When we were watching all of the films, we knew that we were also preparing for an essay to be handed in in two weeks. I had previously decided I was going to do an analysis on someone else’s film so I didn’t need to take notes on my film, but I couldn’t help noticing all the little details we missed.
Due to the lack of time, we had never actually had the opportunity to watch through our entire film in one go and noticed so many mistakes. For example, in the second interview on Fashion Past, we failed to notice that we didn’t caption one of the questions, and we could hear Zoe asking the question out loud. This really brought down the quality of our film and stuck out so much as it was the only question inconsistent to the rest. We also noticed smaller things we were aware of such as the boom mic sometimes being in the frame, and this is something I really have to learn to prevent in the future. I also noticed how the interviewee for Fashion Past was not necessarily the best choice because she was obviously more informed on the Present and would always manipulate our questions to talk about the present. This is also an example of how we should have thought through our questions more. Overall though, I was pretty happy with our film and with the only possible adjustment being adding captions to one of the questions, I would be very happy with our film.
I really enjoyed watching the other films too and noticed all different types of mistakes such as location choice where sometimes the background noise is so disrupting. I sometimes found it challenging to capture all of the points I was noticing on paper, and sometimes would be so focused on the cinematography of the film that I would not be listening to the interviews them self. When I analyze one of the films in depth, I will have to re-watch it a few times so that I can also analyze it on content.
