Art of Flirting

This was a documentary we filmed and edited about peoples views and opinions on online dating and what they thought would be best to either date online or go out there and find your partner. 

The Art of Flirting – online dating documentary

This video is a short documentary which is around 7mins long which reveals opinions and facts about online dating as a whole and I think that this documentary is quite good and has turned out quite well considering the choices of clips that have been used. The fact that we used cartoon clips and clips from films, series and songs in the film shows a good standard of a range of video clips in terms of the variety we have in the film.

The audio in this short online dating documentary film as a whole in general isn’t that great to be honest as we have a lot for noisy areas so this has lead to a lot of background noise and sometimes this seems to be quite distracting as it takes the attention away from some of the scenes which we should be looking at. This happened like that as we filmed in the day in college and at that time it was quite busy to prevent us from getting the back ground noise the best thing we could have done in this situation was to try and film at a time where there was not  a lot of students walking or we could have possibly done some of the recordings in the radio studio so we would have the good quality sound as it would’ve been more quiet – but the reason for why we didn’t want it to be in such a secluded area was because we wanted the students to be comfortable answering there questions rather than feeling a bit intimidated in a room with just a camera. We wanted to show a relaxed yet informal documentary.

I feel that the visual effects that have been used in the documentary are quite good as I like the transitions from one clip to another and I like how we have added in clips from songs, movies and cartoons to give a bit of a humorous atmosphere. The quality of the video is quite good but it’s definitely quite shaky in some scenes but I think it worked well as it’s an informal sort of relaxed atmosphere.

Next time if I could improve this video I would make sure that we set up the camera better in terms of actually maybe using a tripod rather than freehand so there’s no shake and because that’ll then give us much more clarity.
