Filming Process

Following our new campaign to create step by step barbering videos for Sunderland College, we spent the lesson practising these shots to try and get a glimpse to what we will be creating. We filmed a small variation of shots that may appear in our videos for the college, in particular close ups since we will have to see what the barber is doing. 


In this shot, we got a close up of the barbers hands cutting the hair of the client. Using the manual focus on the camera, we were able to focus in on the equipment being used and get a clear shot of what was taking place. 


Next, after changing the lens we got a close up shot of the equipment once again. I think this is an important attribute to the barbering video since it shows the audience what is needed to carry out the video. 



Lastly, we got a close up shot of the barbers face, then moving the camera down to the barbers hands presenting what he is doing. It's important to always show what the barber is doing in the moment since it lets the audience follow along in real time.

Barbering Practice Tutorial Video

Feedback   After distributing a google form to receive feedback and asking questions like what the audience thought and what I could improve on, I have since received answers which will help me when I come to create the final video. When asking the audience what they thought of the video, I was told that it is short and informative, as well as well edited together and the aim of the video is clear. Asking what I could improve on, I have learnt that when I come to create my final video to be assessed, ways I could make it more appealing are to: Use more visual effects Add an outro Provide text on screen to explain what is happening in each step, making the video easier to follow, and also making it appeal to a larger audience Adding a cutaway Following this, I also asked which parts the audience liked most, to perhaps bring into my final piece: The shot types used The volume of the music and voiceover ( how the volume lowered when he spoke ) The overview at the end, to show what the...

My Own Practice Tutorial Video

Evaluation of my own instructional video - Creating my own instructional video did prove somewhat difficult at times, but I think it turned out okay. Firstly, when it came to filming each shot I had to use a handheld camera, meaning each shot was slightly unsteady due to not having a tripod / something to rest the camera on. This made the overall video not as great as I hoped, but I know that when I do come to create my barbering dry run, and also the final product for the client, I will be using a tripod to make each shot steady, making it look more professional. Cutting between each clip, I decided to use a simple cut, rather than using something that could be distracting or things like graphic effects, as I thought that was most suitable for this genre of video. As well as this, after watching several other barbering videos, the large majority also use simple cuts from one clip to another.  Throughout the video, I tried to include a variety of different camera angles for each sh...

Barbering Project Diary

  19/04/2021 Today I completed identifying my client and audience after going back and adding more depth. I also continued with my product analysis, as well as learning more on semiotics  26/04/2021 After completing all of AC1 and my evaluation for both existing videos, I spent the lesson filming footage to go in my practice run video, and will continue to edit it during next lesson. Afterwards I will upload it along with my other practice run video, and evaluate both. 03/05/2021 This week I completed my barbering practice video, which took longer than I hoped due to the software not working for several days. Once complete I have uploaded it to my youtube, and next week will create a survey to get feedback. This week I also began my risk assessment, which I will need to complete.   10/05/2021 I collected my feedback on my video and wrote up a blogger post explaining my feedback and what I could improve on, as well as beginning my pitch which I plan to complete and up...
