After experimenting with using Adobe Spark to see what would work on it as platform to present our media pieces consisting mainly of videos, we discovered and decided that it is not the best option for us as we did not present our work in an easy flow as to what we imagined. As we uploaded our test footage the content looked disjointed and each part we worked on was quite separated. For uploading the videos onto Adobe Spark, it did not embed videos the greatest as it was difficult to just show the video. This was the opposite as to what we envisioned where all these different interpretations and perspectives of affection were tied together, creating connections between each media fragment.
Something positive that came out using Adobe Spark and importing some of our creative pieces to it was the process based method as we were able to recognise a structure as to how the group can work better for the final project where each member was in charge of a type of affection to be conveyed utilising poetic techniques and other methods we discussed as a group. A common theme in our videos was movements in the hands and from that we close-up and tight shots in conjunction with the shakiness in handheld shooting to share intimacy and create a stylistic approach in capturing affection. Also in capturing hand movements with close up camera angles, it can create a sense of wonder like Hannah mentioned as to how it relates with the idea of affection and the purpose and how it is similar. With seeing how our videos together on Adobe Spark were not just similar but are also different, we thought of a nice way to compile everything together and end the video which is the use of a collage using videos creating an exploded list which can also maybe be accompanied with a question to construct an infinite list on how we perceive affection.
In the end as we understood that we do not have the time to fully learn how to use Adobe Spark or a web page in presenting the work the way we wanted to, we instead decided to make an experimental video where we all contribute our own work and compile it together.
