Feedback

  1. It was awesome, the only thing that needs improving is the sound. I was quiet in some parts – Carla

  3. That was beautiful, the music give it an atmospheric feel. Some of your photos looked like stop motion which is really nice and at the beginning, the photo with you as a child, you made it walk the use of stop motion was nice. – Caterina.

Evaluation

When doing my final piece, I wanted to make it special. I wanted to show the audience who I am along with what made me who I am today. This includes my personality, my dedication towards what I want to do in life and what I want to do as a future career or my goals in the future. Doing this whole project has helped me because, it has made things clearer as to what I want to do in the future. I’m still not sure but, it has broaden my thinking towards it, which I am grateful for.

A lot of thing for my final piece went pretty well for example, my choice of pictures. It was easy finding my childhood pictures along with other pictures that I had taken over the years. I had a good amount of photos that I could use, which was nice. I think that all the pictures that I used were really good, interesting and they relate to what I am saying. I think that the editing went amazingly; using the transitions and effect to speed up some of the photos (speed duration). I think that I used speed duration throughout the major of this project/piece. In addition to that, the movement of the images, I visualised it in my head before doing them and they came out exactly how I wanted it. Furthermore, I felt that the pacing of the whole pace was good, it was not too fast and not too slow either. Choosing the text that I wanted for this piece was easy, I feel like it is good font along with the colours I had chosen. Everything went fantastically, I was a bit stuck quite lot of time but, I focused on it and I think I did a good job.

One of the aspects of my piece that needs improving is the sound, it sounds like I have been cut off in some places as if I was supposed to say more. Another aspect is my tone of voice. I like what I did throughout most of the piece however, I feel that if I had more time to practise what I am saying then, I think that it would have sounded much better.

A difficulty that I faced was Youtube. Youtube wouldn’t let me upload the video for some reason so, I’d tried to upload the video again, but still unsuccessful. So, I waited a day and tried again, but it still didn’t work but then I waited another day and I was successful. Throughout the process of making my 2 minute piece the computer at college kept on freezing and crashing. I had to keep reopening the software, I deleted some things off of the computer, which made it run a lot smoother.

If I could do this project all over again, I would plan it out a lot more because, I felt like I didn’t really have enough time to prepare properly. This was due to the other projects that I had to do in the time frame. Also, if I had more time what I would do differently is make my final piece a bit longer. I do like the final product, but I wanted it a bit longer.

I could move forward by making improvements to my composition, after the unit has finished. Then, if I make a showreel I will add it onto that. Furthermore, I could show to friends and family to see what they think about it.
