Evaluation: Part Eight

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel that you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?


I found that the screen recordings which I captured deemed to be unsuccessful; we was not able to establish the quality of footage which we desired by using screen recordings. (The clarity was horrendous and the frame rate was terrible). However, we managed to established significantly improved footage for our title sequence by using a software called 'HyperCam' we managed to capture clear footage and from viewing our title sequence drafts - you can see the drastic change in the quality of our footage development. We managed to make a considerable change to successfully capture our desired footage in better quality.

Our improvements have enhanced the quality of our title sequence and it has been developed substantially; we transitioned through technology. For example, we used a my DSLR camera for our first few drafts to capture our footage - the footage was too shaky and blurry. We eventually moved onto screen recordings; I tried gathering screen recordings for our initial footage. However, the frame rate was horrendous and we did not gather the footage which was required for our title sequence. We refined and developed our title sequence by using 'Hypercam' to capture our footage - the software proved itself to be successful for our intentions of creating our final draft of our title sequence. We decided to dispose of the fonts which we used before hand because they did not suit our title sequence according to some of our feedback and we decided to establish our fonts by using Facebook - our font concept drastically improved as our title sequence is based on social media (Facebook) it seemed to be a accomplished idea to use social media for our fonts.

By improving our title sequence: we could include more connotations regarding zombies by initially including more footage of zombie attacks (zombies in general); foreshadowing a variety of weapons to convey and connote future bloodshed and death to the audience (show one of our protagonists killing a zombie); include more photographs of our protagonists along with their friends and zombies (to show the zombie apocalypse is essentially ascending). Extend the length of our title sequence to include more footage and photographs.
