Top 10 - Final Crit

Really constructive feedback - made me realise that the video should not be as 'cryptic' as I intended and some of the transitions need a bit more work. Pleased with the positive feedback, also. I have combined the feedback from the two pairs:

Strengths

• Well done for getting action to be in time with the beats of the music
• Inbetweeners clip works best
• Music is fine, keep it how it is
• Good pace, not too fast or slow, understandable and keeps you interested
• Blog up to date - obviously you have worked really hard
• Amazing!!
• We like your clock video
• Music goes well with animations
• Simple vectors work well in terms of associating the film with imagery

Areas for improvement

• Needs to say 'Top 10 films of 2011' in the intro
• Could look into making th emovie titles more obvious
• First reel of film could be improved / changed, could look at something more attention-grabbing

Considerations

• Including type makes it seem as if it is the content of the show rather than the intro - maybe it gives too much away Maybe where the text is it could say things like 'created by...'
• Have you considered packaging? Need to do this soon
• What are you doing for idents?
• Transitions could be more effective between films
• Look into ways that you can link film to film e.g. simple linear movement

Action Plan

• Glitch in 'The Inbetweeners' text - needs to cut out earlier
• More clarification - focus moreso on the type? Enlarge?
• Work on initial transitions so the imagery flows more from film to film
• 'Planet of the Apes' text glitch - rises slightly
• Monkey expression too quick and moves out of the frame too fast (extend keyframes slightly)
• Make astronaut imagery more clear - oxygen tube? Light reflection? Stars in background?
• Blog more storyboards and hand-rendered development
• Add to the idea generation posts (vector illustrations)
• Finish title sequence and add the title itself
• How do I take the idents from the sequence?
• ...and add the logo, title, time, date and so on
• Start packaging development
