I have done it!
Actually I finished it last night around 11pm, but it took so long to upload to youtube. Therefore I allow it to upload while I sleep.
At this final cut, I give all my photos a color boost using some actions from Photoshop that I got from the web.
Some after thoughts about this Ken Burns assignment is that it is really not difficult to do Ken Burns especially when you have Adobe Premiere. To have strong and interesting content is more important. In this assignment, I try to avoid using After Effect to prevent myself from over killing in this assignment, thus this video is solely Ken Burns effects.
I think that this assignment would have been more interesting ability to see the different in our class standard for Ken Burns if there is a standard storyline that we have to show. However, I appreciate the freedom that we are given to express ourself in this assignment.
Here is my comment. Hope it is helpful.
ReplyDeleteThe clip is honest enough......., the pace is just right (not too slow and too fast).
However, you probably need to make additional trials on your voice.
Several places....
0:14 I choose NUS because ITIS (too fast).
Several places are too fast (especially., before 40 seconds, .. it gets better after 0:40 till the end)
You have FUN photos.. make use of it... good. . photogenic e.g., 0:32 and 0:58..
Want to add a dialog box? (balooon e.g., Am I happy in 0:32) .. it is fine if you want to leave it as it is..
Financial support... want to be more explicit....? if yes, you could share your experience e.g., it is easy to get as long as students need it.
NUS ... Location, People, education, Exposure, Financial support LPEEF (a bit feel like being forced.. on the top of NUS).
If you could put LPEEF into an NUS shape (letter N, U, S) and says.. something like "NUS fulfils my life" and add an animation (because the animation of LPEEF fulfils the shape of NUS), it may be a better ending.???

ReplyDeleteSome parts 咬字不清！ And it's mentioned above la~
You may wanna try putting option caption on youtube if you don't wanna put it in the video.
For me, I used After Effects now, so that I can learn the skills and by the time I reach Kinetic, I will agar agar know how to use...
There's a bit overwhelming of screenshots of NUS website (for me lar)
If you got time, photos like the map (choose NUS cuz it's nearer to your house) can be a hand-drawn map of NUS then arrow to a drawing of your house, then in between can put, "So Near!"... if you want, you can even take a picture of you with the drawing, so it can be a zoom out...
It's the fun photos like the one in "Am I happy here" part...
P.S. Hope it helps! :)
