Research & Work Based Practice - Final Video

I had a look at the suggestion my tutor made and I decided I didn't like it. I decided to add the sound effects anyway of the water dripping and the clock ticking. I found these on freesound.org and will credit the person. I thought I would have to make them louder than the music so they wouldn't be missed but I didn't have to. I am pleased with the result and with my decision but I am also pleased that I tried something different as it is all about trial and error. I have also added a title page at the beginning and end credits where I have added credits for the people who have created the music and sounds. Even though they have come from a website which states I don't have to, I still want to as without the pieces my video wouldn't be as effective.

I am really pleased with my video and the outcome of it. I have picked up on a couple of things which I would improve on. I think I would need to check the focus on each shot repeatedly to make sure it is correct. I had to have it on auto focus a lot of the time as when my model was moving I wasn't fast enough to refocus. I think I could do with practicing more with that over the holidays to improve it. I also think I need more practice in general with videoing. This is my first proper time doing it and I have really enjoyed it but I would like to improve and try again with other ones. I would also like to make more stop motions so I might make that a project for my spare time.
I have played the video to a couple of my class mates and a couple of my friends and they have said they have really connected with it and enjoyed it. One did pick up on a slight mishap where my model nudged the tripod so today I have learnt on Premiere how to remove it and pause the film in that place for a few seconds to make the clip the same length as before but without the glitch. I like to ask people to review my work for this reason as I may have blinked and missed it but they haven't and they have been honest with me about it.

On the whole I hope people at the exhibition will enjoy this and really connect with it like I have done in the making process.

I have named the video Broken Memories...

Unfortunately the file is too big to be added on to the blog but has been handed in on a memory stick instead.
