Response to 2nd Viewing

So we just had our second viewing of our manifesto videos. For some reason, I was ligitimately nervouse, as in, i was not proud of my work, so I really did not want to show it. I was scared becuse this video is very different from what I usually make (sequential clips). At the last day I found the song to overlap the clips that really brought it together, so that was my saving grace. 

Luckily,  the class loved the song overlay. they said it really held the video together well. I am not sure on how well I will take this critique for the next video i make. I am really into (as aforementioned) natural sounds. I wanted to take a leap with this and it worked out. 

I did not get the response I anticipated. I feel like the class was really lethargic and droll (myself very much included) for the first half of the class. I dont think many people got many responses that they were looking for, a lot was the obvious. I wish I got more about what they did not like or what their first impressions were. 

I think I will stick to sequential or more coherent after listening to the comments today in class. they were positive comments, but i feel i would have gotten  a more definitive response from people if I stuck to my natural style. 

i think i spend too much time about the clips and how they fit together rather than the effects and using music and sound. I challange myself next video to really work on the effects and sound clips. I want to use a camera that actually captures good, quality images, i want to take it to the next level.  

For somereason I had my foot in my mouth today as I presented. I think it had to do with the lack of confidence I had in my project (again that was due to the different technique I used, not cuz I felt like I did a crappy job and was too lazy to fix it). next time I present, I think I am just going to take it for what it is,  and just share with people what I have been working on for the past couple of weeks. 

Here's to the next assignment and its challanges and improvements!
