Maps and journeys- Video Eveluation

http://youtu.be/ZWz1e1INKu4

I have very mixed feeling about the over all out come of the video. I feel because it is very simplistic video that made it actually more challenging than i thought it would be as there wasnt any were to hide the mistakes. This also made me doubt the visuals several times thought the making of process as i kept thinking i have done so much reasrch and put alot of  time into this why dose it look so plain, is it too plain dose it need more, if i put to much in will i ruin it. Meaning i ending up doing several different tests and outcomes to come up with the final one.

Over all i think the video is ok, i still feel like there isn't much too it how ever all the elements that have included link back to the research i have done so are in there for a purpose and done correctly. for example the figure walks out as if they are in a tunnel as that is what research said people experienced.

I feel i made the background of the video a little to bight of a pink and should have made it more white to give a more calming bright light effect, how ever i feel the texture i gave to it baised on my research into eye hallucinations gave it quite a calming feeling which is what we were going for. I feel the sudden flashes of bright white lights that occasionally happended were quite nice and i should have added a couple more of them but slowly faded in instead just to give the video a bit more depth.

The shilloettes didnt look how i originally thought they would look as i was planning them to be solid black figures but i think they work better the way they do now as they arent so in your face. I feel i should have been a bit more carful when editing them in as the walking speed of the main man  walks at little to fast as he fades in at the start and at some point speeds down to slow that you can bearly tell he is moving. This isnt  massive inconvenience to the project but would have looked a little bit more perfect if i had paid it a little more time. It was very hard when eiditing them as there were so many layers and effects the play back speed was very slow and hard to notice things like that untill it was fully rendered.

I feel the over all look of the piece seemed quite computer generated and if i were to make it again, i would may be more experimental with the filming process its self rather than the editing . I could have created the back ground by filming clouds and warping them to make them into a circualr shape this might have given it a little more of a natural feel. I could have also experimented with the way the person walked and actually got them to walk to me from a bright light giving a more realistic effect.
