My Video Profile Evaluation

Video Profile Evaluation – Task 4

Everyone seemed to have enjoyed my video profile on Zinedine Zidane, there were both positive and negative feedback but I’d say overall I did a pretty good job.
Most of the people said that it was very informative and they liked how I talked about his whole career from very start when he signed for Cannes till the very end when he head butted
Marco Materazzi.

They also felt that the music choice was really good as it made them feel quite emotional and therefore made the story telling much more interesting.
Someone also mentioned that they thought that the camera shots and angles were very creative. Such as the slow motion clip of me doing kick ups.

I am most proud of the scene of me shooting the ball at the camera and making it fall to the ground facing the sky. One reason why is because it took a lot of attempts to get it right and therefore it was very time consuming and a lot of work, but you know what they say ‘hard work always pays off’. Second reason is that while I commentate over the clip I end the clip as soon as the ball hits the camera and everything starts to get serious because Zidane’s career is coming to an end giving the audience a different feeling.
As much as I appreciate all the nice and positive feedback there were also a couple of negative comments that I felt were true and I could have done better.

For example, Ilia said that although he felt it was a really great video of Zidanes career he thought that I should have related it to myself in a way and I absolutely agree. I guess I was focused on getting as much as information as possible to talk about Zidanes career that I actually forgot to talk about myself and mention my interests and hobbies etc…

There is a lot of room for improvement, first of all I think that my video profile was a little too long and I would like to shorten it from 4 minutes 16 seconds to at least 2-3 minutes.
Second, I would of liked to be involved in my video profile and talk about myself a little more.
 I could make it more professional by getting a better quality camera and microphone.

Commercially produced videos have a higher budget and therefore can afford to get better equipment, which is usually expensive. They also get professional actors and get to go to better locations which also costs money.
