I got some positive comments back from twitter that said the use of the voice over throughout reminded them of a real documentary, adding other peoples opinions such as the four friends also made it seem more real and the idea of having coming up next made the documentary seem more continuous and not just a piece of one off media work. I also received positive comments from my peers that said I had a good variety of shots including close ups when the friends were giving their opinions and wide shots at times when interviewing the girl, the footage I had filmed was good and appropriate to what my documentary about. For example having the doctor as my professional fitted well with the theme of the documentary. The settings I had chosen were also good such as the office for the Doctor looked like it could have been a real doctors office, speaking to the girl in the bedroom gave the feel of it being a relaxed and friendly interview which I wanted to get across in my documentary and the editing was also good because it made it clear what my documentary was about by having things like the tag lines so the audience knew who was speaking and who they were. My teacher said some of the things I had filmed were good such as me speaking directly into the camera,the footage of the train and the doctor speaking.
I also received some negative comments which were mainly about things people thought I could add to the documentary. People said that the documentary does not end well and I should include what is coming up next to make it seem like a continuing documentary and that when I first did my rough cut the doctor and friend spoke to much so therefore I needed to spread them out. My peers said that the camera was a bit shaky at some points in the documentary and I should have held it stiller and they also said I should use better sound in some parts of my documentary.
The comments I have received will effect the way I work as an individual in the future because I have learnt that when you are working on your own it is only your opinion affecting the work you produce and the decisions you make. This means that what you might think looks good or does not look good might not be the same to someone else. Therefore in the future I will constantly make sure other people are looking at my work all the time so I can get other peoples opinions as I do a project and not wait towards the end and then realize that it could be improved and have to do a lot of work to do them improvements.
The comments have also taught me that producing and editing a video is a long process where you have to keep getting other peoples opinions on it and completely changing it so it fits your target audience perfectly. They have also taught me that it is a lot harder than I originally thought pleasing everyone and fitting what everyone wants in to my documentary.
