In response to the Impact of the Internet video that we created, the general comments were very useful, in terms of creating a video for our Mest 4 research work and coursework.
Generally, the video was given a Level 2 (realised product)for aesthetics , as the comments cited how the video was standard, as it contained a mixture of images, alongside text. Therefore, the video fulfilled its remit of being informative. As well as this, the use of transitions and editing such as fades and fact were effective in informing the audience.
In regards to creativity, the video was given a Level 2 (some creativity) due to the fact that the video included a range of edits such as wipes and fades. By using an appropriate soundtrack, we seemed to instill a dramatic theme within our video, though hoping to entertain the audience as well. Most of the comments cited that the video was too text heavy and did not last too long, which is a fair summary, as we could have prolonged the duration of the slides. The video was seen to be standard , with text and images being shown.
We decided to use Windows Movie Maker to create the video, though could have used a better form of technology such as a video camera, as the software was commented as being too basic. We received a Level 2/3 (competent) for technology, as we could have used more images rather than text and could have slowed the video, by using cuts and wipes , in order for the audience to read the information.
Most importantly, we received a Level 3 (demonstrates understanding) for the understanding of the video, as we used a mixture of facts, figures alongside images of familiar websites such as YouTube. Though we could have used our own information which would have made the video better and could have used better technology such as a camera.
Finally, our peers gave us a Level 2/3 for the production values, as the comments revealed that the video was simple, well rounded and did fit with the time constraints which were imposed. Also, we used Windows Movies Maker in a competent way, which made the video more effective and simple.

In conclusion, our video about the Impact of the Internet was very informative
and did get the point across, as it included a lot of facts, images and theorists such as Tanya Byron. As well as this, the editing was successful and well executed.
EBI:
In order to improve, we could have used more images, as the video was too text heavy, which did make the video boring. We could have also added more of our own facts and had some discussion by various people. Referring to the comments, we could have slowed the pace of the slides, so that the audience could read and absorb the information. By using a video camera and conducting interviews, we could have made the video better and could have added humour the get the point across in a better, in a memorable way.
