Extra Research/ User ratings: (Week 6)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382932/ratings From having looked at the user ratings, I can see that majority of people liked the film as the main average of ratings was sitting on a 8/10 which still seems to be quite high for a film rating (32.5%). In addition, something that I saw that was quite similar to my research was…
Questionnaire Results and findings: (Week 5-6)
Questionnaire Template: Although I got some great information from the surveys as I got to the point of wanting to develop a food app for my potential users; but I decided to do a follow-up questionnaire to get more insight into specifics on what could be included in this app. I wanted to find out…

Surveys into Charts: (Week 4-5)
Bar charts: The two bar charts above are a basically a summary of the gender and the age of those who decided to answer a poll on my Instagram. Out of those who answered, I then categorised them into gender and into age groups to figure out what my potential users would look like. From…
Final AUT Promo Video/ Final Refinements: (Week 6)
Final Promo Video: After having received feedback from David, I decided to see what it would look like without the black bars as it is usually used for film rather than a promo video. I think this one turned out better as it feels more open rather than having it feel tight due to the…
AUT Promo video Trial/ Reflection: (Week 6)
Promo Video Trial: Reflection and learning Outcomes: With the final video, I think that it came out quite nicely and it showcased the ethos of this place.

Colour grading exercise: (Week 6)
Life of Pi: The Shining: Reflection: Through this exercise, it gave me more of an understanding as to why certain colours are used and how colour is also a huge part of trying to communicate your film’s message and or storytelling.

Storyboard Ideas/ Research: (Week 4-5)
After having looked for the background music, I started to a storyboard of how the video would look like. For the video, I decided not to do a voiceover anymore and make it more like a montage promotional video and let the visuals speak for themselves alongside some help with captions/ typography. Moreover, since I…
Finding Music: (Week 4-5)
During the decision of clips process, I got a bit overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start as I wasn’t sure what kind of feel I wanted for this video; but I knew I wanted a warm and inviting feeling for the viewer. Before starting my promo video, I decided to do some research for…

Storyboards & references: (Week 4)
Storyboards: With the story board, I did a quick rough sketch as I’m still thinking about which approach I might want to take. One idea on the first image (on the right story board), I experimented with the idea of digital animation where it was long flowing which is inspired and is similar to the…
Research Inspiration: (Week 2-3)
For my individual video, I started to write down possible ideas of how my video could go through the method of a mind map. Through this concept video-mind map, the film styles that I had mainly looked at was a film poem (a poetic approach) or a documentary. With the poetic approach/ film poem, I…
Survey Answers: (Week 3-4)
Ratatouille survey: (*Side note: I had highlighted the parts that answered the questions as well as were most important.) From this survey, I found that this person admired the feeling that this film gave them. It gave them a sense of nostalgia which links to the idea and feeling of memory. This person values time…
Stop motion Homework: (Week 4)
With my next experiment, I tried exploring the swaying movement with the word sway as it might be something I might want to use for my project. With this experiment, I used many frames and just adjusted the tilt of the letters to give the appearance of it being slightly pulled from side to side,…
Stop motion Exercise: (Week 4)
Trial 1: So with our first exercise, we had to choose a word to experiment with and some how explore ways of communicating the word through the movement.
