Club Advert Evaluation

The advert we had to recreate was the Club advert, but only the first half of it. My group consisted of Jack, Molly and Abby and myself. We managed the task with great efficiency, allowing everyone the roles they were comfortable with, whilst helping each other if needed e.g getting props or selecting the correct camera angle.

We planned our sequence before hand by grabbing screenshots of main points in the original advert and pasting them into a document, labelling the necessary camera angle and person needed in the shot. The amount of screenshots we used in planning was seven.

Factors in which we considered during the planning and shooting were roughly the same - such as the location, camera angle, props used and characters required. These were important factors as if any of these were incorrect, then the quality of the remake would be affected, we needed to make sure mainly that the factor of the camera angle was correct, so it was inline with the original. If the camera angle was slightly too high or low, it could've negatively effected our remake. We tried our best to reflect the same camera angles from the original into ours, and I believe for our first attempt of filming, we did well.

Improvements which could be made in my opinion was small things such as the correct hand the boy catches the ball in in the original. In our clip, Jack used his left hand whereas in the original it was his right hand - small things like this. However, it did not have a large impact on our overall outcome.
From others, we received an ameliorative response. People expressed laughter and happiness and were overall pleased with how our remake looked like the original.

I have learnt from this task that the camera angle is very important when constructing a video, especially if you want to remake. Therefore, looking ahead, I would like to make sure that the camera angle is correct/near enough for every shot.
