Notes of the finished piece

Things I like about the finished piece:
-The pace of it
-the Ken Burns effect on archive material
-the graphic match
-The starting shots
-the tracks we did
-the sections about the Organ concert
-The interview with Paul
-history is clear

Things I didn't like about the shoot:
-The narration is too quiet and not interesting enough
-the pans of the dome from the garden are kind of boring
-There are parts of the shots over the top that are irrelevant but we needed a filler
-the shot of the Indian gate (in the rain, bluergh)
-The timeline sections
-the final shots of Brighton

The finished peice is good in some ways (because it adheres to the initial task, and because it is clear and informative) and because our visuals are mostly relevant and interesting. I was happy with these aspects. The visuals also are never shaky, out of focus or wonky, which is good, and the sound is never too loud or quiet. Therefore, we have made a good piece of media. however, I do think we needed a better narration, and as we didnt have many shots of things we were talking about (for the first sections when there wasnt any archive footage and we didnt shoot any re-enactments) and this felt like we were filling space. I think some of the stuff we did feels weak to me because we had a lot of good ideas at the start which we didn't fulfill- the timeline, for example. However, I think that the dome can use this video and show it to their visitors, therefore it is successful.
