Open Post to Peer Reviewers

This post will address the production of the final project; this is an open post to peer reviewers. This is the first chance for people to see my finalized video and critique it. This blog will critique the past week as well as look forward to this weeks work on the final. Here is my final project draft.

This project was a real shot in the dark, I didn't know how to approach the project requirements. In addition this is the first time that I have ever attempted to create a video project of any sorts. Despite this, I think that the video project gave me more freedom and creativity for my project. In fact I found it difficult to narrow down and get specific on the details because there were so many ideas that I could talk about regarding the events of this semester.

This rough cut has some definite issues, one of the primary weaknesses in this essay are the amount of pictures used. I had hoped to get more pictures into the video of the actual previous projects, but then I realized that this wouldn't look the best anyway and that in order to get the best display quality possible I needed to get pictures that were interesting and also went with the voice over in the background. Another issue is the vocal level of the video which I expect will possibly cause people to zone out.

The rough cut also has some strengths. One of the strengths in my opinion is the images that I chose for the video. These images were surprisingly well connected to the things that were said in the voice over. This effectively should connect the display with the audio heard. The rough cut is also surprisingly organized and flows well in my opinion between sections. I think the strengths and the weaknesses are fairly even.
