Final

I feel this is my finished video, and has been completed to how I wanted it to be. It would be better if each individual square had been animated on its own, but I feel I have overcome this issue by creating segments, which build up over time. The portrait overall is a successful image, as it has taken a lot of inspiration from Justin Roths images, but I have put my own take onto it, by adding smaller squares to create a less harsh grid, making the image more appealing to view. The image is black and white to reduce the human side of the image, to represent a more digital side, as well as making it easier to develop the portrait and its textures and shadows.

With editing the portrait into a video, I feel this was a very successful project, as most animations where on the beat as I would have hoped for, a long with some beats being left out to develop a more humanistic piece, allowing the music to play on its own for some beats, letting the audience appreciate the music, as well as adding suspense to the image being created on screen. The fades in the film help the portrait react more with the music, as the first time it happens is on a crash, letting the image fade out as a crash cymbal would.

I felt like putting the main titles at the end, as it shows the final image at the end, so hopefully the audience only understand the film when they have seen it all the way through. Also the use of orange in the titles is due to being my favourite colour, yet expanding the way in which this project is for the whole self, as previously stated in earlier posts.

The sound track I created on the music producing software Reason, which enables unrestricted creativity when coming to creating music. I chose to created a jazz styled beat, due to liking the genre, and also taking inspiration from the Birdman title sequence, with its broken jazz styled drums, animating the text to appear on the beat of the drums. I felt like I have created a similar effect with my film, by animating the segments on the beat, therefor creating a successful piece which is a clear representation of sound and vision combined.
