Evaluation

The insert: Is uni essential
We brainstormed the ideas for our insert and came to a conclusion that we wanted to do a topic that related to us, college kids who may be thinking off what to do next. Therefore we decided to do 'Is Uni Essential' which involved the people from college to tell us what they plan of doing after they have finished college and what they think of the price and how it affects them.
We made this work by going round the college and talking to a few students and members of staff, as well as vistors asking for their own opinions.
The group had three roles which were the : Presenter, Sound man, and Camera man, our insert was mainly presenter driven meaning the camera is always on the presenter and the guest. My role in the insert was to mange the sound, so I went round with crew carrying a boom, making sure I captured the sound needed for our insert. I believe I had fulfilled my role perfectly because the sound was clear and it came out clear.

The role of magazine show evaluation
I voluteered to the lightening man, where I had to coordinate with the set designer and sort out which lightening works best and the colour theme. I was told that I had handled my job perfectly and that there was no problem with me doing my job. Although there was a problem with the lighting on camera, some was too bright, some was too dark which made my job harder but I wasn't totally at fault.

Production evaluation
I believe that the production went well but it could have been better if it wasn't for a few minorities.

I believe the photos; 1, 2, 4, 20, 21, 22 are worthy of being in a magazine for these photos have certain techniques used in them. Techniques being, Low Aperture with an high ISO which gave the pictures a professional look. Although picture 4 is slightly out of focus, but not many people who i have shown these pictures too, could notice that it is out of focus but use of the background with the apple mac in the background and the angle that the hat is in made the picture unique and professional.
The pictures 20, 21, 22 look the most professional out of all of the 25 photos, the difference between them is the white balance of how picture 22 is brighter due to sunlight, than others which goes with the bottle of cologne, whereas the pictures 20 and 21 have the 'gold effect' by using studio lights to light up the products.  
I could have made some of the pictures in focused, for it to look more clearer and had a better use of backdrop in pictures 3, 5, 6, 7,8, 9, 10, 15, so that the paper used as a backdrop couldn't have been seen as a backdrop.
