Feedback Major K-Film Assessment

After Seth viewed our initial prototype in class today he suggested that we make the preview for the inner circle more readily available from the outside circle. He also said that the use of text would really enhance the overall project.

We still have a lot of work to do including adding text to the clips as well as a title page with our names and project title at the beginning of the piece.

I think we are all happy with where the project is so far and I am excited to seeing what the end product looks like.

 

Hannah’s Honours ‘Slow’ K-Film

I checked out Hannah’s blog and viewed two of her korsakow films.

Close Ups

Red – My initial reaction to the clip was dramatic and bold. The clips are strong.

Black – The variety of content in each clip is very similar.

Yellow- I really liked the layout of the interface. It gives the user plenty of options and keeps the work moving.

Green – A suggestion could be to reduce the length of each clip to help with the overall flow of the piece

Noticing

Red – My initial reaction to this film was calming and tranquil

Black – There wasn’t much that I didn’t like about this film but there were some clips that had too much background noise/wind which was distracting at times

Yellow – The variety of the different content kept the film interesting.

Green – Although I liked the white background, it would be interesting to see how the piece looks against a black background to compare.

 

Things to do…

Integrated media…mmm while I am still a little unsure of what this semester holds and feeling a little overwhelmed, I am also looking forward to it!

I am usually someone who likes structure and clear guidelines. I make lists….all the time! To do lists, wish lists, shopping lists. I never refer back to these lists but I can’t describe the sense of calmness that floods over me once I have completed my list.

Straight away this course has challenged my initial belief that a narrative must be linear – a clear beginning, a middle and an. However as Adrian mentioned in the lecture by broadening these parameters it becomes apparent that a non-linear narrative allows for the audience to move independently throughout a piece, often creating new meanings from discovering connections that otherwise would have gone unnoticed.

I am looking forward to learning more about interactive media and am hoping to further extend on the techniques, ideas and concepts learned in Networked Media while continuing to explore new territory.
