Overall I’m pleased our final product. I feel that the script Alex and I wrote was easy to understand and communicated the fact check well. Our fact check claim was true and we really wanted to communicate the absurdity that there is still a pay gap let alone that people question it. I think we did this by including a variety of statistics which really helped give our argument credibility.

I think we were successful in portraying an MTV news style video. We kept it simple with one person for talent standing in front of a plain background which allows for the viewer to focus on the information and statistics in our script. However if given the chance to do this assignment again I think it would be interesting to experiment with more talent and different formats such as a talk show.

I’m happy with the camera work and I feel we cut from one camera to another at good intervals throughout the video which important in keeping the viewer visually interested. Despite a couple of struggles with the microphone during filming, our audio is clear and Roie spoke at a good pace. I think the music we chose to have playing throughout the entire video adds to that MTV type feel or a quick video you might see posted by VICE or Vox.

I think it was a good group decision to add in EVS and graphic footage in post production as it meant that the placement of the imagery on the screen was exactly where we wanted it. However I do think the video would have been stronger with more archival and graphics footage as at times just the plain white background and is a bit plain for viewers. I think had we had more time with editing it could have been interesting to experiment with different coloured backgrounds or having some of our archival footage as the background behind Roie.
