stop frame animation
I decided to try and do a stop frame animation to see how good and succesfull i could make it look to see if i should consider using it in my short film. I soon relised that the process of taking this many pictures toke a very long time to do and it was difficult to redo a section if the first time went wrong which was very frustrating. Another thing that was hard was getting the times right between each picture so that it looked fluent and clear. By doing this small test of me walking i relised that i didnt want to do this in my short film as i didnt think it would look as good as filming.
Audience Feed Back
Sara Louise - age 19
What was you overall view on the short documentary?
I really enjoyed it and thought it was a really good idea for a documentary as it something that is often not talked about. I think the information you included in the documentary was useful.
Was there anything that you think could have been improved?
Yes, I think that a larger range of shots should be used as it would make it look a lot more professional.
What did you enjoy about it?
I enjoyed seeing how others coped with an eating disorder and liked seeing what others though about it. I really liked this idea of including a number of different people
Any other comments?
I think it is good but if you did it again I think it would be really important to add more camera angles as this would make it a lot more effective to its audience.
Ashley Drew - age 19
What was you overall view on the short documentary?
I thought it was ok I think it was a shame that you did not have time to cover more eating disorders as I think that would have mad it interesting. I thought your choice of target audience was clear which I thought was good.
Was there anything that you think could have been improved?
I think that more information was needed in parts as it seemed a little vague at times and sometimes it got a little boring as the camera stayed in the same place and didn’t move much at some points. I also noticed that one or two shots were a little shaky which mad it looks a bit unprofessional at times.
What did you enjoy about it?
I really did enjoy the subject choice as I think it is an important issue. I also liked have the one presenter as this made it simple to understand.
Any other comments?
I think by using young people throughout the whole short documentary it made it very clear who the target audience were and I think that it is important that young people learn about these kinds of issues.
