Evaluation

Product Management – XBOX Advert Production Evaluation – Ben Pople

The purpose of the package
To inform the audience about the experience of getting an XBOX and the XBOX Live community behind and the appreciation of getting one, and to persuade them into buying one.

Content
The content of which I have collected has been a good standard even with the media department doing the acting for me rather than students from the drama department. But with the acting aside I am pleased with the shots that I was able to get.

Technical Quality
For the equipment and software that I had available I am pleased with the technical quality of my final production even if there were a few hiccups.

Problems encountered and how they were overcome
The problems that I had to overcome were mainly the acting as I was looking for continuity and my main character made it quite difficult to cut between two shots of his face without changing expression, nonetheless I did manage to find two different shot with the same facial expression and those two shots got into the final production, I also had trouble slowing the video down on the macs but that was overcome with some advice and help from Dan Creed. I then had trouble uploading the video but I was able to send the video home and upload the video to youtube at home and that would help with my target audience as there is a possibility if anyone searches the word XBOX my video will come up, it wont be the first be it will be in there somewhere.

What I learnt about undertaking this production
I’ve learnt that if I want to get a decent final production I will have to always be prepared, never forget anything and always get the production done early so that if I do encounter some problems I have the time to put them right.

How could I have improved it
To be perfectly honest I am quite proud of this production and there is not much I would want to do to this video but if I could I would remove the soundtrack as it reappears after the XBOX swoosh, because the result that I have is quite rough changes of sound levels. And I would also try and get more people to stand either side of the main character for a better effect.
