Emma - Architecture Evaluation

I've always loved the Architecture around London and it's always been something that I appreciate when I am out and about in London so I thought that this would be an easy video to pull off but it actually ended up being quite difficult. I could not decide where I wanted to go to get my shots because there are so many beautiful buildings that I wanted in my video but that were too far apart from each other and so would have caused me difficulty getting the filming done in the time that I had. I decided to go to Westminster to South Bank because there are plenty of buildings that show the different styles of Architecture in London and have huge landmarks like the London Eye and Big Ben. I once again used non-diegtic background music in this video to stick to the theme of my previous videos and this worked out really well once again. The video that I produced does fulfil the brief that was asked for in the contract.

Emma - Entertainment Evaluation

After thinking over the brief of Entertainment for a while, I knew that I would have to film one of my favourite things to do during the Autumn which is going to parks. I decided to go to Battersea Park because it is local but also because there is a huge variety of things to do from boating to the adventure playground. Even while I was filming the video I knew that I wanted it to end up as something that was relaxing to watch and had a running narrative. I didn't decide the song until the day of editing but I knew exactly how I wanted the video to feel and I think that's exactly how it ended up. The video is understated but still entertaining and fulfils the brief exactly.

Emma - Fashion Evaluation

I didn't have many ideas come to me instantly when I found out that the next video would be Fashion. After a while I came up with the idea of filming different outfits that my friends like to wear while interviewing them about their favourite stores to buy clothes. In the end this didn't work out because my friends had to back to where they live so it would not be possible to film them. I had the back up idea of filming at Oxford Street so this is what I did instead. I spent the day going into different stores and subtly filming different trends and also filming the popular stores on the high street. I added a filter to the shots which made the video take on a pink and blue hue which reminded me of Vegas. This is where I got the inspiration to use the song Vegas Lights. The song ended up being a great fit for the video as it is fast paced and fun which is what I was aiming for the video. I do think that the video fulfilled the brief because the length was what was expected and the video was engaging.
