Evaluation
I feel like in my video installation clearly communicated my
story though my footage and the 16mm footage. I feel like in my installation
the story line is easy to follow and that they know exactly the memory I’m
trying to present.
My target audience was young adult and art students. I think
my video was a appropriate for my target audience, because seeming as my
audience has gone through the stage of being at primary school, they can
reflect and think about the memories they had when they where younger. I feel
like because I choose an older audience it made it easy for them to connect
with story line that I had.
My original intentions was to create a video installation
showing a memory of my past and to make the audience feel, a connection with
the video so they could think of there past.
In my edits I used the split screen technique to symbolise 2
eyes and what they saw. In my edit I didn’t have any sound with all the found
16mm footage so I got a lot of ambiance sounds. Like kids playing and busy
streets sounds to include in my installation to help build effect. I also
speeded up some footage to make my video shorter and so the footage could be
shown in a short space of amount of time.
When I finished my video installation I made a few people watch
it. I got a mixture of different responses. For example some thought it was
strange, weird and didn’t really understand what they were watching which made
them feel “confused” it also made some people feel uncomfortable. However
others really liked it and thought it was really unique the way the video was
put together they especially liked the split screen. they also said it really
made them feel like it was school. They also thought that it was really
intelligent the way I used the colour red to create the symbolical meaning of
blood and the way I incorporated the ambiance sounds with the video.
If I could have improved on anything I would have included
more split screen because I felt like the split screen really made the video
come to life and bring more feeling to it I also thought it was very
interesting to look at. I would have also included a bit more of my own footage
so that when my footage was show in the installation It would look more natural
when played with the 16mm footage I also feel that I should have gotten a lot
more red footage to build on the symbolic meaning of blood. I also feel that I should have checked the sound because in some parts on my installation the sound was really loud over all I feel like my installation looked really impressive and
that the quality of the 16mm was good and clear.
