Video Alterations

Once I had edited the photographs I began putting the video together. The programme that I have used is iMovie. As I have not used this programme before I watched a number of youtube videos however I found that each programme is different depending on which version the person has. This is when I turned to my peers for help! Doing this meant that I was able to receive help on the version of the programme that I have as well as being able to apply the knowledge I had learnt from youtube.

This was the beginning of the video where I started experimenting with the duration of each image and the composition of the video. From feedback comments and to my own realisation, I am going to experiment with reversing the order of the images so that it appears as though I am walking towards the camera rather than walking away. This will lead into the next section of the video more fluently. 

At this stage I felt as though the video was coming together more. Readjusting the image order makes the video flow together and gives the movement direction. To develop the video further I would like to experiment with adding an instrumental song to make the video more engaging and fun to watch.

As the video was nearing completion I wanted to get feedback from individuals who know me well and those not so well. The comments were all consistent, focusing on how well the photographs had worked out and the fun theme that it created. However, the main comment that stood out to me was that if you do no know that I come from a sheep farming background, then the sheep images appear slightly random and out of place. This lead to questions being asked that could not necessarily be answered if I were to send this out to those who inspire me. To overcome this issue I am going to reorganise the image order so that the 'Country Girl' clip is just before the sheep inspiration images. I am also going to experiment with the wording of this slide so that it makes more sense to those who do not know me as this is who the video is primarily for. 

At this stage it was only slight adjustments that needed to be made to the video. For example, there is not enough time to read all of the boards therefore extending the viewing time needs to be adjusted. Through feedback comments it has also been said that the text on the 'farmer' board is difficult to read and that adding another slide of my work would be beneficial. These are comments that I am going to take into consideration when altering the video.

After having the feedback comments I noted what was said and have made these adjustments. This has made a vast improvement to the video as it makes the video informative of how I am and what type of designer I am.
