Client Feedback



Here is a PDF of our feedback from Simon Bates, our overall client from the Junction. As you can see from above, Simon really liked our video and out of all three he chose ours as his favourite - which is a great achievement I think!

What Simon liked most was that I stuck clearly to the brief and worked our way around it using the core product as our main objective. We did a simple video which showed both financial and personal gain from a band playing at the Junction and I overall think our promo video promoted the junction very well. We scored overall marks of 34/40 which was the highest marks overall, and this shows that we worked well as a team.

I overall think that we did the best we could with the footage and really tried our hardest to stick to deadlines, the brief and overall what the client wanted. Overall, I am very pleased with this client feedback and I am glad Simon liked the promotional video as much as he did.

Final Reflection

Throughout this project, I can conclude that I have learnt a lot more about different routes into employment and the way the work industry is progressing further, to simply not learning inside a classroom. I have learnt that new routes into employment have changed following diplomas in that once you leave college you could actually have some practical experience and therefore could go straight into employment, and perhaps a higher job than before if you went into an industry with no practical experience.


I have learnt about universities and the differences between college and university, and have l learnt that the main aim of interaction is to work with a group of partners as opposed to working for them, such as the junction, the fiver bands, the mentors at Bournemouth etc.

I have also learnt that the purpose of the project is not promotional, and more educational. It was to show a direct link between colleges or consortiums in relation to work industries and a direct route of work related learning.

I have also learnt about expectations and the fact that certain industries hold expectations about us as students and the work we produce. Simon's expectations were quite high as he had seen some of our previous work and had compared the effects we used to them so for example ; the effect you used in this video was really good' etc.

Bournemouth also had expectations of our work, and the MA editing students expected our work to be of a lower standard than theirs. The MA students taught us a few shortcuts in Final Cut and also taught us about expectations at university and constraints and times and deadlines to work to.
