Cycle

I think Cycle went really well.  I'm really glad I had a groupmate who I worked well with because that seemed to be a problem that appeared in other groups.  Honestly when group projects are announced I normally dread it because I tend to be one of the people who drag along the group.  But this project wasn't like that at all.  Our work dates, editing, communication, everything went really well. 

I would like some critic on Cycle though.  The class was very supportive and asked interesting questions, but there were no suggestions on what could have been better or more interesting.  I know the sound could definitely be adjusted.  During the critic one of the speakers gave off a terrible white noise which isn't on the original footage.  Its a good lesson to check videos on the speakers you'll present them on before showing it.  In a classroom setting it was okay I suppose, but imagine going into an interview or proposal with faulty sound. 

If I had to critic the video we made I'd ask if it was edited to be too corny.  Like those news segments or documentaries that are created with the intent to induce a certain emotion.  I really hope it wasn't like that.  I would also ask if anyone got a message from it, or understood it, etc.  Basically, what do people get from it when they watch it?

  1. The footage I enjoyed most was the feet on the ground walking. I was distracted by the buildings in the background. I understood from watching that this person was breaking free from something.
