Feedback from Darwin college

Our risk videos were sent to Darwin college, where they would give us feedback and choose the best ones to show at one of their lectures.

The feedback from Darwin college:

What are your thoughts on the way the video engages with the theme of risk?
I particularly liked this film and the way it engaged with the inevitable consequences of actions (the domino effect) and the risk inherent in creating (the possibility of collapse).

What do you consider to be the strengths of the video in terms of visual interest, creativity and originality?
This film was simply filmed, elegantly constructed and expressive in its video angles and flow. I particularly liked the use of fast and slow motion in the domino sequences which created and impression of dynamic movement. The music choice was also very apt.

Do you consider there any issues with the video or elements that you feel are less successful?
I would have liked to have seen people's faces and their reactions to the fall/success of their creations- the human element in risk.


I am pleased with the feedback that we were given, and I am happy that mine and Ali's video is going to be shown at the lecture. I agree with the comment about seeing people's faces and reactions to the film. I think we could have done this if we could have done this if we had, had the cameras set at the right angles.
