Closing statement


Evaluation

Overall I am happy with my promo video for the Angel Inn. I think the way I went about getting all the pre-production and sorting out with Andrew Stammers (Manager) how and when I would do the filming was handled very well. When I was thinking about my ideas and what would be the best possible place to promote, I listed up about 3 or 4 ideas but in the end I decided to contact The Angel to see if I could meet with the manager. On March the 2nd I met with Andrew Stammers to explain to him my intentions to promote his pub in a short video, he accepted my offer and I was filming for a day a week later.

When I cam back to college I got straight on with editing my video. I had 130 clips, which I had to choose from, but also I had edit/cut down some of the interview with Andrew Stammers, as I wanted just the real informational about the pub. In my opinion this was a easier part of the editing period as a lot of what Andrew said was very good and interesting. I fitted in as much as could and in all I think the interview fits well with what he is saying with what you are seeing on the video. A great example of this is when he is giving information on the accommodation at the Angel. You can hear him over footage I got of the rooms that are for staying nightly! Stuff like this made me very happy as it’s promoting it very well. 

I thought I had to add a little bit more to my video so I added the “dissolve” effect to some of the shots. This made it more watchable as each shot faded into another one and as the majority of my shots are “Pane” shots this worked very well. All my shots a reasonably slow so all the fading had to be the same length and speed and I think when I used this effect, it work very well with the chosen clips. I then had to insert the titles and the way I get them to dissolve at the end I am very happy with as each bit of information comes up once at a time and the information that is needed comes up.

Obviously with all these shots and effects I needed a good audio to go with it. I went for a slow and charming melody, which runs for about 3 minutes. A piece of music like this sort of explains what the pub is about. A nice place that anyone can go to and enjoy themselves and while this audio is playing, you see footage of the bar at one of its peak times at lunchtimes with people talking and having a good time. A great Bit of footage to make the Angell look like a nice/successful place. When the interview is being shown, I dip the audio to a perfect volume so you can still hear it in the background but can Cleary hear what Andrew Stammers is saying.  

Once I had completed the video I put it onto my blog and uploaded it onto YOUTUBE. I quickly got response from people I had shown the video to and the people that commented on it. It was all good feedback with people saying it looked like a great place and a place that they would happily try out. And when it comes down to it that was my aim from the start. I wanted to try and get people to eat or try out the Angel but not just the Angel, pub/restaurants like the Angel! Places like this are different types of culture to modern restaurants and bars as these type of places are very old fashioned but still hold a great atmosphere, serve great food and make for great times out for family and friends and with the outcome of my video, I think I achieved my goal with the people that have viewed my video!
