Tv evaluation
The roles my group had were: Matt was the camera man as he had the steadiest hand and in our first try out using cameras his shots came out the best. Laura Ball was in charge of sound and held the microphone as well as editing the sound produced. Laura battle was the camera assistant and also helped write the scripts for the Piece to camera and the voice over. Heather was the second presenter as well as assisting in editing the final product. Everyone in the group helped out in the editing process.
My roles within my group were director and presenter. Other team members had attempted to do the presenting but found it difficult and felt that it didn’t suit them so they took on other roles. I feel comfortable in front of the camera and as a group we decided that it was best for me to do the presenting.
As a director I thought it was best that everyone’s ideas were incorporated into the video, so everyone’s opinion and ideas were listened to and most of them carried through. I found it difficult to turn down ideas due to the time schedule we had as we had a time limit on how long we could use the equipment for. We did manage our time well and took many more clips than we needed which was very helpful in the editing process as it allowed us to pick and chose the best clips which could flow well together.
As a presenter I felt that I looked comfortable and added a quirky edge to the video but I spoke very quickly and it wasn’t as clear and precise as it could have been. We only did one shot of this Piece to camera as everyone felt that it was good enough but when we got back to the editing room we realised that it needed work but it was good enough to use.
If I were to do this in the future I think I would like to do both roles again but concentrate on one role as it allows me to fulfil the role better. When I was the presenter I didn’t get to see the product when it was being filmed and it would have been wise for me to watch it back before I went back to the editing room. It would have also allowed me to spend more time on practicing my scripts and to concentrate on pronouncing and speaking better for the audience.

Radio evaluation
My role within my group was the director, being a very open and confident person I approached the public and asked if they would be available to do interviews. I helped out the less confident people in my group and jumped in and helped their interviews along when they were stuck for questions.
Overall we had a very wide range of ages and professions, which made our interviews more reliable as it was more representative of the general public. For data protection reasons we had to be careful about approaching and the interviewing the pubic. We made sure that we introduced ourselves properly as students and informed the interviewees what we were using the material for and that we didn’t need their names or any of their personal details.
The man I interviewed was a World War 2 veteran, he made it challenging and didn’t make the interviewing process easy. I had to keep asking small questions to keep the interview going along. He came across as quite aggressive and seemed quite offended at the question I asked which was “what are your views on scrapping remembrance day?” when he gave me short answers I asked him questions like , “do you know anyone who was involved in these wars?”, “How have these wars effected you?” and “ Do you think we should concentrate on the more current wars?” This then resulted to him making more comments and remarks and the more aggravated he got about the questions the more comments he gave me. I had to be careful to not aggravate him too much as the interview could of got out of hand.
The editing process was quite easy, I used the programme sound booth to edit down the interview that I did. I then opened this into sound cloud so I could put this onto my blog. I cut my voice out of the interview so it was just one long running talk from the interviewee. I found this quite difficult to do as most of his answers were short and it was hard to make them flow together to make it seem like one long sentence. I think it turned out quite well but if I were to do this again I would interview a lot more people as I would have a lot more to chose from therefore when edited down it would sound better when all the answers are combined together.
