Recreation Evaluation/Feedback

1) Why did you choose this particular recreation and how does it link to your main production?
My critical investigation is about the lack of awareness in the emdia about womens rights in the less developed countries such as Pakistan, this extract shows the variance in the roles of females and males, linking with my CI.

2) What difficulties did you face in producing this recreation?
I wasn't able to take out a mic, thus the sound quality wasn't as good as it could have been, as I used sound recorder. I used iMovies for the first time, thus had some difficulty with that.

3) What are the strengths of the production?
-Good camerawork, and editing.
-Well timed, and quite accurate, in terms of dialogue and sound (music used).

4) What aspects would you look to improve?
-Sound recording device, in order to have better sound.
-Have the audio levels correct
-Include a variety of shots
-Ensure lighting is the same.

5) What lessons will you take from this process that will help you with your main production?
I will definitely keep my production a documentary, and I am looking to do a interview style production, that highlights the differences in the UK which is a developed country, with the Pakistani (less developed country) views on females and how people are raised there/in that community/society.
