Video feedback/learner response

 Video feedback/learner response


Feedback from Mr Bush:

  • Good decrease in volume
  • Good use of contrapuntal sound
  • Fade of sound at the end of video

EBI:

  • Highlight keywords
  • Make the parallel sound clear 

Feedback from classmates:

  • They liked the introduction of the contrapuntal sound.


My feedback:


I enjoyed creating this video as I was able to show some of my editing skills to the teacher and my classmates. In my opinion, I think the highlight of my task was the volume dip so highlight the dialogue of the character. I also faded to a dark screen at the end of my video along with including a volume fad for the contrapuntal audio that I used


EBI: I should've found a clip that included a higher volume of parallel sound or I could've put parallel sound in myself 


The top 3 videos in the class were Nadima's and Tegan&Hannah's. They were successful as they made a clear distinction between the contrapuntal and parallel sound. I could've made my parallel sound clearer to the audience


This task taught me the importance of sound. Sound is a key component in the portrayal of the narrative. Both parallel and contrapuntal sound are important and both techniques used in the film as it provides audiences gratifications. Foley is also a vital aspect of making a movie pleasurable and enjoyable to watch. Without foley sound, a lot of narratives that are conveyed through the use of sound would be lost.
