- What qualities did you notice that matters?
I guess what mattered most to me was what Adrian thought of my work as he’s the one assessing it… He said he liked the blinking light as it showed time really well, (someone else also commented on the blinking stop light) and the train footage probably because it provided some consistency to the visuals.
He said to trust the image to say it’s own thing more – the visual telling it’s own account apart from the one the audio is telling. Thinking about what the camera cares about; light and framing.
He said it was clever but also not clever enough; not literal enough. How can it be more literal and not be a direct image-to-word composition?
**A large percentage of it was talking about how the camera matters. Giving the camera agency – to let it take time to focus, to let it see, to let it follow the lights, to let it frame or cut out parts, etc. - What feedback would you give your own work?
After watching a few of our classmates videos, I would say that I could improve my video by speaking more confidently and loudly. And using more expression in my voice – I know I have a monotonous voice already, and wasn’t really comfortable hearing my own voice replayed (and I could have asked someone else to read the script for me so there was no excuse..) I personally feel like I should have added more shots in to there could be more a greater variety to the visuals that went with the script – someone feedbacked (fedback??) that some shots were too long and unnecessary. Also, I should have explained or edited the visual in a way so that it was clear that the black and white visual was what the watch was seeing because it doesn’t have any colour. I feel like everyone’s work would seem more impressive when we knew the explanation or thoughts behind how and why the author made it that way.
how do we compile these into what we do with our next assessment??
