WEEK 10

This week I constructed my film. It didn't turn out exactly as I'd hoped - 70% of it I love and 30% of it I would have done differently. But I guess it's all just a learning process. Plus, I've never actually worked with any type of snapshot or animation film before. This experience has really got me to appreciate just how much time and effort goes into artworks like this... I ended up choosing a creepy, carnival-like piece of music, which I found through the creative commons website. I also decided to place an old style-like effect on my snap-shots - making them look old and projector-like. I think this particular effect works with the creepy world I was going for. It also plays to the advantage, that not all my shots were of a good quality anyway. But once I placed the film on You Tube the quality seemed to be even worse.. So I'm going to have to have another think about what I want to do? Maybe I'll go back to placing it on a DVD, using the iDVD program. I'm also feeling like the film is a little bit too long. It runs for about 2min, and I'm hoping to cut that back to about a min and 30sec. Just so the audience doesn't get too bored, as it is very repetitive. I think I'm going to have another crack at editing the entire film again. GGGrrrr... so confused and so much to do. Wish me luck =)
Here is the link to my film, A Doll Me, which I think needs to be re-worked:
