Photo Essay: Evaluation


Evaluation:
The photo essay assignment was based on the vimeo project of the same name.

The vimeo brief states:

"whether it's guys dropping in on thirty foot waves, a family's first trip to Disney World or a plastic bag floating aimlessly against a brick wall, moving images have excited or comforted all of us at some point.
What we're perhaps less accustomed to is the power of still images. More specifically, series of photographs set to sound, used to tell a STORY. We frequently see this used in online journalism. I suppose you could call these "slideshows," but it would be more appropriate to call these "photo essays."

For my photo essay I photographed images of my little brother when he is playing with his toys. I wanted  to show that he is a important person in my family and I care for him. I shot the pictures from different angles - primarily close-ups and mid-shots as I wanted to put the audience into his world. 

Editing:
When i brought my images into college to be edited i first uploaded them to final cut pro and when i gathered all the images together i put them into video clip form and i gathered effects such has fading in and out of scenes then i fort fading out at the start of the clip was to much so just left it and let it fade out on the end of the video.
I used a fade effect at the end of the video and also put calm music - the piano was designed to suggest a childlike world. The use of music aids the visuals and directs the audiences emotions. I also edited the photos - adding light to certain shots so that they are more visible.

The reason:
The reason i did the photos and why i based it on my little brother is because its shows he is apart of the family and i love him  very much and basically showing its a memorable moment for me because he is living life has a child and playing with toys like a normal child would do.

What i did in class (editing):
In th lesson i uploaded final cut pro and i imported my images on it then iu dragged the images on the panel on final cut pro and i laid them out to make sure they were in the right places then after that i took some images out so it wasn't to long but not to short then after all that was done i added effects such has fade outs and music and the music i used was memorable that was out of wall-e and the reason i used that music it to make it a happy moment but makes u wanna watch more.



Feedback (improvements):
At the end of the lesson  i got feedback from other people in my class and improvement that i would do if i did the assignment again is to do a better ending for my video and other people in the lesson fort it needed to be a bit longer but from all that everyone thinks the music was good for what i did for my video and the only other bad feedback is that the music cuts of to early in the video.
