Final Project Critique form

Ideas Incorporated
Idea-wise, by far this project had the most thought put into it. Going into the project I really had to think about the "future" and my limitations. The typical idea of the future includes either barren wastelands, skyscrapers and or flying cars. I knew I didn't have the means and skills or special effect to make that happen. I debated throwing hot wheels ad shooting that in slow motion to represent flying cars... So I took a different approach, since the project is the future that I wanted. It made me think of silly bands and pillow pets, those people have made so much money from a useless product. I've always thought someday I was gonna create something really dumb, yet make so much money from it. Furthermore, I'm the laziest person, sometimes when I don't want to get up I joke with my boyfriend if he could pee for me. Thus the project came to be about the "W.T.S." I know the future is gonna be filled with some of the best but dumbest inventions.

Was it successful? 
Idea-wise and in my opinion it was very successful. I enjoyed this project and I'm proud of the piece. It got my idea across and portrayed has the lighter side of the future. Requirement-wise not as successful. I'm short by a lot.

What skills did I learn
I learned how to trim and edit clips together. It was better to keep recording and just cut out the blank scenes than to film exactly and not have enough lee-way  for transitions

Challenges I faced
The biggest challenge was finding a concept. After that it was trying to figure out what I should keep and what I should cut out. Originally the idea was to just have a bunch of interviews of dumb invention. It would be different people and their different inventions such as "the friend zone pill" or the "whole body tooth bursh" but it was so much funnier to have the interview and commercial. However I did end up not meeting the required time. Also I and other people were geeking so much while filming.

Suitable Resolution
I'd probably just create another example to meet the required time. But I feel like it wouldn't be as funny. I think the little chuckles help it be more comedic.

What revisions would I make
For the first time, I'm not really sure what I would change. I really like the piece, it's funny, well thought and reflects me. If ever I'd plan better. The concept and idea was there, the planning wasn't. It'd probably be better if I planned every shot and shot things from different angles.
