Post Production skills - How have they developed over time?

Group P1 - 04

Which post production decisions can you tell the group have made?

The group have only made a few post production decisions that are obvious to me as the viewer.

The frame rate is increased a number of times throughout their video this is a post production decision which involves using final cut. The second noticeable decision is the 'LA LA LA' that comes onto the screen in colourful writing. The last decision I noticed was the split screen shots and the jump cut shots at the end of the video.

What impacts do these have on the product?

All of these decisions have added to how interesting the video is. The variation from the norm makes it something you can actually watch the whole way through. The 'LA LA LA' effect matches visuals and lyrics which is proven by goodwin to attract the audience. The speeding up the rate of the video creates a comic feel to the video. The split screen effect make it interesting

Which post productions skills do the group still need to develop?

The group could have done the jump cut better, however this may be due to how they filmed it on the set and not how they edited it on final cut.

What do you think they have done more successfully then you did in your work?

This group has managed to create a more exciting video then ours however this may be due to the song they had to work with (it is more exciting and faster then ours)

Look at their ancillary tasks what should they add or improve?

Both the poster and dvd cover that the group did are packed full of info and both look very interesting and eye catching however they have missed out a price.
