Evaluation

I think over all my experimental video turned out better than i hoped in some ways but in other i don't think it turned out well, this is because my initial idea, being the animatic is slightly different to my Installation piece this is because of difficulties i pointed out in my diary being, the stop motion pentagram and the sky shots but I think even though I had these problems the video turned out for the better furthermore when i tried to make the whole film black and white the video clips kept going distorted and blurry so after several attempts i gave up, I think the Concept for my piece remained the same, being dealing with personal loneliness and feeling like some one who your not, but I don't really think my concept is portrayed that well because to the casual observer it would look like a bunch of random clips but for some who 'think out side of the box' could potentially get what I was trying to portray but overall I still think the concept would be difficult to grasp but even with this though, I did not want the concept to be too obvious as this installation piece is incredibly personal and would have left me open for people to read which is not something I would like people to be able to do. I chose this concept above others because it was a way to express my self and personal feeling in a non obvious manner. My Installation piece was exhibited in college and at my hostel, i got mostly positive feedback but some of it was negative because people did not like the sound, this is because they either felt it droned on to long, was monotonic and, or creepy and some people did not Ike that even though people found my piece creepy that was the whole point of my video as my main inspiration about it is the short video in The Ring. If i had more time on piece i would have sorted out my sound properly instead of a piece i composed with in 5 minutes furthermore i would also, either make the film black and white, I take the time to saturate the piece to make the colour more dull, i think if i had done both of this my video would have been more successful and or better at least for me to elaborate further i would also put more time planning my exhibition. To conclude my video was overly successfully and i am pleased with the out come, most if not all my feedback was extremely helpful to me so i know where my weakness's are in making this piece.

Filming Diary 5- 30/11/2009

Today i completely finished everything for my production, the sound was done and my Experimental Video was complete, so with that i burned it onto a disk, after making the menu for the DVD, i tested it on the DVD player in college and found that it ran very well, later on i took it home and it also works very well at home much to my surprise, the only thing i now have to do is exhibit the piece at my hostel which shall take place on either Thursday and Friday. The only objection with my Experimental Video i have is i wanted to make it Black and white but it is too late to change it, but coincidentally i remembered that in my early attempts to change the Effects for the film, i found it never actually worked, the screen kept distorting and you couldn't see a thing.
