Introduction

   In this task, I created my commercial video after choosing the best design which was the library. In the library, I featured the rooms and all the different facilities available for the students. In my commercial video, I included pictures and videos to make the video interesting for the audience. I also included really cute/ adorable music for the audience so that it would engage them to listen to my commercial. I also included a voice over to explain the activities that can be done in the library. I also featured the school's elementary and middle high school building.  For creating the video, I used Movie Maker, to make the commercial video successful. By making it successful I made sure that I reviewed the design specifications and how I can utilize them for this project.

 

Task 2: Personal Reflection

My guiding questions for Reflection:

Which part of the project PR Commercial video did you like? Why?

What I liked best about my commercial video would probably be the information I gave in the video. I also like the way I displayed my video.  I mostly enjoyed the music that was in the background because it was cute and I found it to be very interesting and a bit engaging to hum. I also love the quality of my pictures and the way there are so many colors.

Which part of the project PR Commercial video did you not like? Why?

I didn’t like the way the video was made. I think I could have arranged it better than I really have needed to. Like I could have put the study rooms first and then put the kid’s library and our display of the library. Then and after that I could have put the information of the parent’s conference room. I also could have put just a bit more information involving how the books are arranged.

Which part of the project PR Commercial video would you like to improve? Why?

The part in my project for the PR commercial that I would like to improve would probably be the way I put in the video. I think that I could have arranged the library picture much better than I really have. I think that I could have made it a bit more organized so that the video would be a bit clearer and would also have great message that people that I gave my survey to would be able to understand more clearly.

Were you able to meet your expectations throughout this project?

Throughout this project  I think that I was able to meet my expectations because I was able to complete each stage and I was also able to organized my files to help me start the commercial video. I was also able to make sure that I keep track on the deadlines and the things that I need to do in each day.

What were the most difficult stages of the Design Cycle?

I think the most difficult stages of the Design Cycle were the Create and Evaluate Stage. The Create Stage was difficult because I had to find good areas to film and there were too many people that distracted me and my commercial video. It was also difficult recording my voice because it was noisy around school and there were so many people in the background when I was talking. I also found the Evaluating Stage difficult because I had to look at harsh comments and feedback of my commercial video but I was able to reflect on the things that I need to improve on which is a really good thing.

 

Guiding questions for Reflection:

Which part of the project “PR Commercial video”, did you like doing the best? Explain why.  

In this project I liked doing the Investigate Stage because I was able to research and gather useful information for creating the commercial video. I also found it the easiest over everything else for some odd reason.  I also liked doing the Design and Plan Stage because I was able to make different designs using storyboards and I have never used anything like that program before which made it even more fun and interesting.  

What factors contribute to designing and planning in the project “PR Commercial video”?  

In creating the commercial video, the designs were very essential because I was able to plan and choose which design can be useful. A storyboard with a series of detailed steps also contributes to designing and planning the PR Commercial video project because it helps plan what steps do I have to do and the duration of each step.

Which parts of the design cycle have you found most useful in solving this project “PR Commercial video”? Please explain why?

In the Design Cycle, I found the Design and Plan Stage the most useful in creating the PR Commercial Video. This stage helped in planning and justifying which design has a good message to convey about the school. This stage also guides what I should do to create a commercial video. Without this stage, it would be very difficult to have a great plan for the commercial video.

Which stage of the design cycle do you think you need to work on the most to improve? How would you do this?  

In the design cycle, I think the stage that I need to work on the most is the Create Stage because I could have made my commercial video better by improving on the audio. To improve on the commercial video, I could reconstruct my video or revise some parts that were unnecessary for the commercial video.

By completing this Challenge-PR Commercial Video, has it helped you think about organization in general? Are you going reflect about some of your other organization practices? If not, why not? If so, what do you plan to do?!  

By completing this Commercial video, I was able to learn and create a video less than a minute conveying a good message of the library at Cebu International School. I think that this project helped me organized my project because I was able to complete and plan what I need to do in each stage of the whole task in the Design Cycle.

Have your final comment to round off this Reflection about the project “PR Commercial video”?

In this PR Commercial video project, I was able to learn the importance and how to create a commercial video based on the Design Cycle. Throughout this project, I had strengths, weaknesses. Mostly weakness…  My strength in the Design Cycle was that I was able to submit each paper for each stage completed and well done. I was also able to organize each step of the Design Cycle in my electronic portfolio well. In this project, my weakness is creating the commercial video because it took me a long time to edit the commercial video since I had to take many pictures and videos to get a good quality for the video. In order to improve on this stage, I think I should also work on making sure that I find good places to take pictures and videos for my commercial video. I think I should of also submitted it on time instead of getting deadlines all the time.

 

Task 3: Survey/Feedback

 Feedback depends on the Survey and should be based on the Design Specification you set in this project

 

1.    Do you think the commercial video carries a good message about the library 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes was 88.6%, no was 5.7%, maybe was 2.9%, and other was 2.9%. overall the Yes team had the highest of the percentage following it was no with 5.7%, maybe and other was tie with 2.9%. Yes had the most most percentage saying that the commercial did carry a good message about the topic I did which was library. The lowest tally/percentage was no which was they didn’t think that the video carried a good message about the library. The reason why I think so is becaseu I did not add enough infromation about the libarary and that is one of the things can improve on the next time I make a video.  I think I can improve more so that intsead of getting no the commercial vidoe did not carry a good message I could get a yes. The way I can get that is to give more detailed information about the libarary next time. That is one of the way I can imrpove this part of the video.

 

2.    Was it interesting to watch?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Based on the data, two students said that the commercial video was boring and not interesting to watch.  But most of the people said it was interesting and appropriate to watch. I think that some people were not interested in the commercial video because they could have wanted a better background music to make it more interesting and the picture or audio quality could also be better.  Even if I thought the music was pretty cute and all. Most of the people enjoyed this commercial video because they were able to learn and understand the school’s library in the commercial video. The commercial video is also educational for most of the students in the school.

 

3.    Does the commercial video have good audio?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Based on the data, two students said that the commercial video did not have a good audio. The reason why I think they say this is because there weren’t many things that I said.  However, most of the people said it was interesting and the audio was fine. I think the reason n why they say is because I put good enough information even if I did not speak so much. I think that some people were not interested in the commercial video because they could have wanted a better background music to make it clearer so that the audio quality could also be better. Most of the people enjoyed this commercial video because they were able to learn and understand the school’s library in the commercial video.

 

4.    Does it have good quality?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From this chart the majority of the students that answered the commercial video has good audio and picture quality. I think that many students like the audio and picture quality because it is clear for the students to watch the commercial video. It is also easier for them to understand the message behind the commercial’s video. One student said the quality of audio and video was not good and some pictures were not so clear but some of them were okay. I think one student did not like the picture and audio quality of the commercial video because the student wanted my video too probably to have a high definition or use better software to create the commercial video and in a commercial video the picture and video must be clear for the student to understand and to view it.

 

5.    Is it long/short enough?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this chart, 5 students said that the length of the video should be longer to have a better detailed commercial video about the school’s library. Most of the people said that the commercial video’s length was enough. I think some people did not enjoy the commercial video because they wanted more information about the library but it was difficult for me to fit everything in a one minute commercial video and the background music would not allow my voice in it completely. However, many students said that the length was enough because they were able to gather the information needed from the school’s library for their knowledge. They were also able to get the important message conveyed behind the commercial video.
