While in the group critique for my rough video, I learned that it is better to focus on one "theme", such as geometric patterns or transitions. At the moment, my video incorporates both of these components, and will be much stronger when I change the focus to only one. Class today made me realize that a narrow focus will allow me to delve into this project in more depth. As of right now, I am thinking that I will focus primarily on the transitions and playing with light in my final project. I received a lot of positive feedback on the beginning parts of the video from my peers, and I, too, like the transitions better than the geometric forms achieved by the mirror and n-square effects.
Another valuable piece of information that I received in this crit is that I should create a subtle sound piece to go along with this video. I have started the sound part already, and have been keeping the sounds soft as to not distract from the visuals. However, it is good to have ideas reinforced in critique.
I think it is best for my video to concentrate on the natural colors created by the light rather than messing too much with the tempting color effects of iMovie. My theme is a very natural topic, so I should not attempt to put any neon colors or other types of effects in my project. I realized this today after looking at my peers' projects, and how the altering the color changes the mood of the video drastically.
I realized today while looking at other people's projects that everyone's project is so drastically different. This always fascinates me with any type of art. I am looking forward to next week to see everyone's completed projects.
