Tom, Torika and I presented our prototype for our K-film around celebration in today’s tute. It was received well, and we were fortunate that the other students and Jasmine were all willing to give us some great advice and feedback.

The clips varied in sound volume levels, which is something we need to fix and normalize across all of the clips. We were also given the advice to include more colourful and saturated clips to bring some variety and vibrancy to them. Our theme of celebration seemed to come across clearly to the audience which was good to see.

Another suggestion was to include a colourful or interesting background to our interface, so that it isn’t just black as it doesn’t support the theme of the film. Jasmine gave us some great suggestions, including creating an ambiguous text thread to link the clips together. She also suggested that we include more intimate and personal celebrations, showing more subjective views of celebrations rather than general celebratory events you would expect and that we included. She also suggested using stock footage of colourful Indian celebrations and of other cultures that we would find difficult to film on our own.
