Poem evaluation remastered remastered

My poem and sounds didn't go quite to plan as I couldn't retrieve or re-create the sounds I wanted to have orignally, but I made do with the resources I had and made something that could subsitute what I had planned. I tried to make the sounds relate to the words and interpreted them in my own way, but it didn't go to plan as it was very hard to find that perfect sound.. I made it in adobe premier elements, I faded, over lapped, cut and removed sounds to create a barely adeqate post. I think most of the sounds worked apart from the singing, so overall I'm not impressed with the result. I should have also had somerone read it clearer and a little slower so the sounds would have had a better chance of adding ambience to it. In conclusion I feel that again, I lacked the effort and drive to create something worth while, I should have spent more time on the sounds to get the perfection I was striving for. It would never be radio standard because the sound quality is poor and the sounds don't fit, it is not professional and I should have worked harder on it.

Well, first of all the review of my video personally, I dislike this video because I hate how the mouth works, it doesn't look like it's talking what so ever. If I had time to re do this project I wouldn't make the head move as it does, I don't like how the smaller snake in the corner is disintegrating, another thing I would change. I also don't like how I made the snakes look, the colour scheme isn't attractive or even relates with the nature of snakes, the personality doesn't match the colours they're too bright and ugly, or the back ground, it the only natural thing and it ruin the look completely, it was unnecessary. Overall itis just a shamble of colour and makes it look like it's worthless.. I made it far too cartoon like, because the snakes are blue and yellow, which are not natural colours, I feel like I didn't put as much effort as I should have or done before and I would definitely work on this to create better videos in the future. Because effort is one thing I majorly lack when I'm under a time limit as I rush to finish it in time. But I think how I made the video was perhaps effective, I was efficient with how I worked off my exposure sheet, quickly making progress and finishing a single sheet with precision, but also getting it done quickly. But I had to make it lean on a rock made of felt because it kept tipping and falling over as I tried to make it talk, but I propped it up and hid the tilt with felt and made it look like it was in the habit which was being portrayed by the image in the back ground.

Morph video evaluation remastered

I made a six second Morph video of a plant-like berry thing and it 'blossoms' into a snake. I think personally this video could of been better, I could of put more effort into the writhing movements of the snake and made the berry look more realistic and give it a more narual look. I should have worked more on the little details of the berry, like adding more detail to leaves and given the snake scales or teeth.  I used, again, stop motion pro V7 and yet again the steps I took to make and upload the video were the same. So in conclusion I could of put more effort into this by adding more detail into the movements to make it look more like a real snake to add a more exciting and natural slant to it. Unfortunately my lack of effort let this video down greatly.

Aviva project presentation evaluation

Personally, I think I could of done much bette., I didn't speak as much as I could of because my nerves got the better of me, making me collapse when the time came to present. I said about 7 words, barely which was only proclaiming that I had drawn a picture, I felt like a small child from primary school handing thier mother an awful drawing. It was embarassing and pathetic. Although in my mind I knew I could do it, but if I would of had a practice before hand, and with a few less people in front of me, because going from about 8 people to over 30 is a bit of a big jump for me, I'm not used to speaking to big crowds, but with more practice, slowly I will improve. But I hope that next time I will be better prepared, on the other hand, even though I was terrified I still forced myself to speak a little, but one of our team members, kept speaking for me, which put me off, but hopefully I will be better next time, more practice will help me. But overall, as a group, I think we did well, we pushed through our technical problems, the computer locked itself. None of us are confident speakers, but we still forced oursevles to do it, so in some ways I am proud, but in other ways, I wish I pushed myself a bit harder. So next time we have to do this, I will make sure we practice and have a better chance of getting this right.

I think my video went poorly on my behalf, I feel I should have thought of a far more interesting story and developed it further, this was a childish idea. But on the other hand my crew worked very hard on achieving my ideas and contributed some very good ideas of their own, the costumes fitted well, the dialogue I was pleased with (Apart from my own) but, I think if I thought this out a little more and had more time to edit the story in the video could of have made far more sense. Which lets it down hugely and it had very awful flaws because of this, and I feel like, in this aspect of it, I've not only let myself down but my crew also, I have not done them justice and I should have worked harder on it. I should have used my time better and done a very strict time script and done it through one take, I would have achieved a much better result and a much sleeker and more professional finish. But again, I'm pleased with the song I have, it fits well with my little montage, but again, the montage was pretty pointless too, I didn't have the video I needed to finish it as I desperately needed to edit otherwise I would have been far worse off, but if I had the time I would improve it with more video, more story with better editing and dialogue, it wasn’t very informative. I should have used varied camera angles to convey more emotion and make it more exciting to watch, but not too many otherwise it would have spoiled it. I feel that my editing skills were shabby, I have just used a little text and graphics to fill in the blanks I have, which is very disappointing and probably an appalling way of trying to cover things up. Again this is another major flaw in my film and I think I should have worked much harder to fix that. But I did manage to use all the film needed to make a vague story line and it does seem to link up partially. I personally feel that if I was to put this on any website people wouldn’t understand what I was trying to portray and I now know that in the future I need to plan better and put far more effort into my filming to gain the perfection I'm looking for, or perhaps even get close to what I want. So in conclusion, I'm incredibly pleased with how well my crew worked with me and each other as a team, but I feel like I have let them down with my poor editing skills and directing expertise, so I must work on these things to make sure they aren't made fools of by me.

Game evaluation remastered

I have found this process very stressful, mainly because I do not enjoy coding and being sat at a computer for vast amounts of time. It was very draining, and when I typed the code wrong (making the whole game go wrong and fail to function) it was extremely tiring and extremely frustrating  to go through the seemingly never ending lines of code to pin point the problem. It is known de-bugging, but I’m not particularly great at this, as I often overlook things or end up getting frustrated and dropping it completely. Even though there was button that could automatically do this, even that didn't help, it was easier to just go through it. Making the shapes for the buttons etc. was the only easy task we had, but even though I did panic a lot, I went through the coding and the naming of the shapes and pages to ultimately fix the problem. Even if it did take an age to do, it was achievable. Basically to solve the problems I had to stop rushing and take my time to edit and fix the coding. I haven't changed much from my concept design, apart from some of the button designs, the fonts and some of the imagery. Like the Pokemon logo on one of the pages, I also wanted to add noises and movement to the Pokemon themselves, but I didn't have enough time for that. I haven't made any improvements, just edits to fit in with the time schedule. I had had much more time I could have created something far more ambitious than what I have created in the time. I feel that I was incredibly lazy going with this idea (although I only chose this as I had a project like this before and never completed it, so I was trying to compensate and gain emotional fulfilment) because I was only making buttons that went from one page to the next, with little else going on. In conclusion, I am not happy with my unfinished interactive game as I feel I should have put more effort and time into it to achieve a finished product and have something actually worth the effort.
