Introduce the project and theme in your own words For my Final Major Project, I have created a Documentary on the Caterham 7 for those that are and aren't aware of it. To prove and show that is more than just a car.  List five strengths and five weaknesses in your final product Strengths Colourful and Bright Clear audio Engaging Informative Well shot Weaknesses Duration Video Quality History Accuracy Nerd Friendly Approach Mix Sections up I have taken my weaknesses on board and made a few adjustments towards the older ones which were the duration of which I made when I was editing my fix. This made my film only get cut down by 6 seconds and I know that that is not a lot but there are valuable information and valuable shots to the whole film in every shot. This is proven by the voice overs which carried on throughout the whole film which are the main pivot of the film and so removing any part of what was said in these voice-overs

For the product assessment, I have asked 4 people to write a short paragraph stating what was good and bad about my film and what I could change. I did this not only because the brief requires it but out of personal interest to see what people made of my film. I was very intrigued by what they thought of it and not for them to just say 'good' but go into detail and perhaps pick my film apart. This method has definitely proven worthy in the past as I have had much feedback on previous short films explaining not only what was wrong but why it was wrong which helped me learn a great deal about me as a director and learn a lot more about my film. I have learned many valuable lessons such as; 'Always keep your target audience in mind' and 'keep the camera work as smooth as possible if it's a crucial scene.' It is things like this that teach me and allow me to be a better director in the future. I definitely did keep my target audience in mind while making th

In editing, I recorded my process through many sitings and made a long video of the whole process. I made the most of every sitting by doing these recordings and showing my process. Looking back on this was actually very useful to me since I was enabled to go back and pick up where I left off. As I could do this, I was swift and quick in getting underway at the start of each day in the one week I did it in, which made the whole process much quicker and easier. I had made lots of progress in this editing process as I learned a lot about Premiere Pro as I feel I have completed one of my S.M.A.R.T targets which were to learn more about all the Adobe apps specifically Premiere. I learned a lot about filters and the balance between making it too saturated and blurry to then very vibrant.  If too vibrant, it will be pixelated and the same with saturation. I also used the sharpen tool so that I could make my images as higher quality as possible since changing the colour took away from it a li
