Sky DOOH - Evaluation

I am very pleased with the results of this project and feel that the collaboration was successful. 

I am happy with the results of all 6 moving images the me and Brennan created, as I feel that they are as close to what we both envisaged as possible. 

I feel we both contributed to this project equally and both worked well to achieve our joint goal.

I feel we both shared the responsibilities of researching, photographing and editing equally and this has made of a better result.

Open Brief - Horror Film Evaluation

What went well 

I decided that as well as the movie trailer I would create two moving image movie posters to accompany the video as I thought this would create a nice balance.

I am happy with the way the posters turned out, as I feel they capture the atmosphere that I was trying to create. I feel that the type layout aids this effect that I wanted to create.

I am very happy with the way the movie trailer turned out. I feel that all the clips work well together in the sequence and bring to life the essence of the film. 

I would have preferred to edit the trailer in premiere pro but I was unable to get this to work and had to uninstall the program and reinstall but still had no luck. I had to edit in iMovie, as this was the only other tool at my disposal that I am familiar with. I am happy with the overall result but would liked to have tried editing with premiere pro as I feel this way have given a more clean and professional result.

DOOH Last Minute Additions (part 2)

DOOH Last Minute Additions (part 1)

After looking at other peoples Tumblr I made the decision of adding the Sky Atlantic Logo to all the video compositions because it’s the channel the drama is made for so it only makes sense.

What Went Well/Didn’t Go Well (Open Video)

As always I will reflect on my projects with a break down of what I feel towards the project and the results and what I would do differently if I had another chance of doing the same project.

What Went Well

Music Selection: I am very happy with the song I chosen for the advert as it certainly fits the criteria of funky and inoffensive. Also with how the chorus is structured it made it very easy to break down the video into separate shots.

Editing: Cutting the whole thing together went really well because I feel the visuals certainly match the timing of the music which makes the whole video feel really slick.

Creating The Audio Bar Graph: The audio bar graph made of sticky notes is the thing I feel the most pleased about in the video. I feel it shows my ability to find ways of analysing and translating certain things into a visual medium.

Double Checking With Colleagues: When it came to cutting the sound track together I thought I would ask people I know just to make sure the cut was seamless and using I know who would give me an honest answer allowed me to alter the cut until I got it right.

What Didn’t Go So Well:

Tape Roll Shot: One of the things that bother me about the tape roll shot is the fact there is a lot of dead space at the top of the image and the fact after the tape roll there is a little bit of dead air where something else could’ve gone in.

Not Doing It All In Stop Motion: By this I mean not everything looks like it was in stop motion as originally planned. I couldn’t find a way of dropping the frames in the full motion segments to give the video a full stop motion aesthetic.

What I Would Do Differently

Collaborate: Although the song really worked with the advert it might of been worth trying to find a musician to collaborate with to really create a song that fits the criteria rather than find one from a smaller unknown artist.

Create A Longer Stop Motion Piece: This is just for me in future, I really enjoyed creating the stop motion segments as it reminded me of stuff I made in secondary school with stop motion animation. Over the summer I might experiment with stop motion animation a bit more.

What Went Well/Didn’t Go Well (DOOH)

As always I will reflect on my projects with a break down of what I feel towards the project and the results and what I would do differently if I had another chance of doing the same project.

What Went Well

Details: The little details in the final composition I feel really brings the whole thing together and the things such as the fake computer program and the ‘Mundi Salutem’ logo add a degree of authenticity to it all.

Concept Of The Show: The overall concept of the show I feel quite proud of and the plot lines of the 3 protagonists would be interesting to me as their own shows.

Exploration Of Different Forms Of Photo Films: Being able to explore basic animation with the corridor shot, combining stills and full motion video in the shadowy shot and parallax in the car park shot really allowed me to explore different forms of photo films and opened my eyes to a new dimension which I could use in later personal works.

What Didn't Go So Well

Teamwork: This for me is kind of the big one. I will take partial responsibility in this but during the meetings I was the one who came up with pretty much all the concepts and characters, I also booked the models and done all the editing. 

The Collection: Whilst the overall collection is mostly pretty good the combination of full motion video, parallax and basic animation posters without the title and the redaction would seem more all over the place than the series stands.

Two Of The Posters: I am quite happy with the look of 4/6 of the posters but 2 of the posters (the hand and the laptop redaction) just simply don’t look good.

What I Would Do Differently

Partner Selection: In future I will asks about more rather than just going with a friend and try to base my future partner selection on previous track records rather than how long I get along with them. It may be ruthless but at the end of the day it’s the results that matter.

Stick To One Type Of Photo Film: Whilst playing around with different varieties of photo film was a fun thing to do the final result was all over the place so sticking to a single form of photo film be it basic animation or parallax would help create a more cohesive collection.
