4. Documentary Evaluation

As a group we received a lot of feedback from our peers. We received a mixture of positive and negative feedback, mainly positive which means it was good. However, the negative points suggested kept being brought up which means we did something wrong which we need to change as it was a popular opinion. These negative points were "the script and voice over weren't very good as it was presented in a monotone voice", because of this we lost the interest in our peers. Also someone suggested the length of our documentary was much longer than everyone else's as we used a lot archive clips. Reading this feedback has improved our knowledge so next time we will be more prepared by doing better things like including more interviews and debates from our group instead of using so many archive clips. Some positive points made were that the editing was good in comparison to everyone else's as we prioritized more time doing that. If we had the opportunity to do it again I would have definitely spent more time on making the documentary more creative with different clips our group could have created. With the editing we could have uploaded the clips we used and done it in our spare time so we could have more time creating new ideas.

This is a silent debate/mind map we created in class on a A3 piece of paper. In our group we had to mention typical features that appear in a documentary, we came up with lots of ideas as you can see in the image below. Some examples are camera angles, special effects and voice overs.
