Final Crit Feedback

We had our final crit today; I was in a bit of a panic because it appeared that all the work that I had done would not show up in after effects as I had re-organsed all my files so they were easier and clearer for me to access. This had a knock on effect that meant the images, illustrations and text that I had imported for the composition that I had been making were not linked. Eventually I managed to link them again and get a small amount of feedback.

STRENGTHS

• Good colour scheme
• Clear what the top 10 are
• Clear target audience

AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT

• There seems to be too much going on in the idents - select the right images / information to use for each ident - 10 seconds isnt' very long so don't try and cram too much in - at the moment it looks a bit chaotic.
• The typeface isn't clear enough and the names of the festivals aren't on screen long enough for the viewer to read and remember them
• Make sure that you leave enough time at the end for the title / channel / date of the program
• Some of the movement of the photos / speakers doesn't fit right onto the beat of the song so throws the whole composition off

CONSIDERATIONS

• Chose a couple of images per indent
• Dont worry about having to fit all the names of the top 10 festivals onto one indent - leave that for the main title sequence - you only need to mention two
• have a look to see if you can find a clearer typeface as parts of the words from some of the festival names are illegible. 
• Fade and in and out of the audio at the start and end of the ident / title sequence especially if you start in a main section of an upbeat song.
