Evaluation | AF105

With this project over I thought I'd write down my thoughts, feeling, achievements, hardships that i've been through in the last 5 - 6 weeks.

I'm relatively happy with the final outcome, the video itself turned out how I wanted it too, but by running myself out of time towards the end I didn't have enough time to concentrate on finding or recording my own high quality audio to go with it which I think would have bought it up another notch. I also think that my kinetic type has been slightly effected with the lack of time too, as I could have done with some more time to focus on learning how to operate After Effects efficiently and come up with some more interesting ideas of what to do with the type. But none the less I'll be happy to hand in the final product tomorrow and see what everyone thinks of it.

I'm really glad that I did everything myself in many ways, as I like the feeling of teaching things to myself, or being able to reuse skills I've learned in previous productions I've done. I think for those class mates of mine who made videos by using pictures and special effects with kinetic type over the top they have achieved the most in some ways by using the least but producing some of the most effective videos I've ever seen. Something to aspire to be able to do in many ways.

I feel very disappointed with my storyboards for this project unfortunately. The printers I got them printed out at decided to print them in A4 not A1 so they're tiny in comparison to what they should have been, but hopefully I'll be given some time to resubmit them shortly after the hand in tomorrow and get them reprinted in the proper size, and get the overlays mounted properly to show development of my ideas.

Overall though I'm happy with how I've done in the project, and I have definitely learned that I like having tight time constraints to produce work in, something I'll take into consideration with other projects. I can be happy that i've achieved what I set out to in After Effects which is something I can take with me through all other projects i will encounter from now on.
