Dear Diary - Disability Awareness Project Completed + Evaluation (2nd final major project)

I have finally completed my final major project! I have managed to get it completed around the same time of the STC show as I had planned to and I edited it on FCP ( Final Cut Pro)

Promotional Disability Awareness event at South Thames

Evaluation :

I have finally completed this project, at last! The duration of my project is 1 minute and 18 seconds long, and I am quite pleased with this time as I wanted to provide my audience with a snippet of my video, simply because I wanted to gain the attention of my audience by enticing them with some of the highlights of my video.

As for my song choice, I decided to use the instrumental of pumped up kicks by the band foster the people, merely because I believe that the song gave the video a nice and playful vibe especially when the clips were present when students were taking part in the athletic activities. 

Their has been some problems with publishing this video, which is why when you play this clip it would say that the duration of it is 5 minutes and 3 seconds long. This is a problem that I have tried resolving but I thought I should just publish it and state here the right time the duration is, instead of re-uploading it and editing it again as I have other stuff to plan such as my 1st final major project Drug culture in lyrics.

My experience with Final Cut Pro

I believe that Final Cut Pro was very easy to use. Since learning about it with Nikki, the research that I have done since then has really helped me to adjust to it. I know how to cut clips in half, add transitions, make clips fast and many more. I do see myself in the future using Final Cut Pro more often and I feel comfortable using it to produce my 1st Final major project Drug use in lyrics.

So generally speaking my experience with Final Cut Pro has been great and very helpful.

Strengths and Weaknesses 

Throughout my major project it was evident that the variety of shots that I had produced were one of my main strengths, It allowed the video to have a smooth transition and added a professional appearance towards it. Another strength of mine was the quality of the pictures in which I had taken, I managed to get a lot of good pictures that captured the true happiness of the students that were taking part in their activities. 

My weakness in this project is that although I feel as though I produced and captured some high quality clips. If i had more time i believe that the final project in which was created could have been of a higher standard.
