Final video + Evaluation

The corporate promo assignment went okay although I feel it could have gone better, One of my clients gave off a rather negative vibe, it might not have been intentional however but it was not very welcoming.
The editing took around about 2 days which was ideal for me as I had time to work on my other assignments as soon as I completed it.

Overall, I feel like the video went well, the only issues is that I found the assignment itself to be not particularly entertaining although (as if I was in the media industry) I had to put this behind me and carry on as such a mindset is not professional. If I was to do the assignment again, I would plan ahead more, pre-production has never been my strong point so I would work on that.
Also I would aim to be more professional in meetings with the client and discussing things with the client over email as I was told using the greeting 'howdy' in a business email is frowned upon as opposed to a 'I am writing to you to confirm...'

With regards to the editing of the video, I would cut a few shots (as told to by the client) if I were to redo it as some of them linger for far too long or not long enough. Text would have also helped bump up the grade as there were no titles as to what part of the course it was however I aimed to make said video as a promotion for the course as a whole, not individual aspects of it. I know now this was a bad move.

In conclusion, the assignment required a professional look into tasks like the ones set in the media industry that had to be tackled in a just-as professional manner and not treated as merely an assignment on a college course, but as a job in the real world. I feel I did not meet these requirements, I was unprofessional and did not treat it as the latter.
