Evaluation Of My Stop Motion Film

Evaluation: 
For this assessment we had to Create a range of stop motion films, One at home, one in a location and one at college. To create these i used Cannon 5D camera in the studio and Cannon 400 for shooting on a location and at home. When we were practicing what we could do we would sometimes experiment with a tripod, and using different backgrounds and settings - for some of our final pieces and experiments we used a path a steps to create the 'Hug' movie and the college studio to create my final stop frame movie. 


I was inspired by some of the Stop motion films i researched and looked at because i quite liked the slow moving films and more on the romantic and soft side. Which is what i aimed to get in my final piece. I think i worked well and managed to produce a professional and clean final movie. I am over all pleased and think that the work from the other artists help me with my idea and final decisions quite a lot and help me prefect my final out come. 


Over all i am pleased with my final outcome and think that it worked really well. I believe i have created and effective piece of work that is at quite a high standard - if i was to improved it i would do this by creating more of a setting for my background and work on the actors outfits so it all links together well - and created a proper image. Also i would give myself more time to create it as there were lots of us in the studio at the same time so i was a bit rushed using the camera. To conclude i am very please with my final stop motion film. :) 

My Final Stop Motion Movie

For my final stop motion movie i created a clip in the studio using two people. The theme was a slow dance - i had two people dancing arm in arm along with one having a rose in her mouth.
Over all i took 59 photos while doing this clip using a Cannon 5D camera and the studio lights. After i had taken all of the photos for my clip i had to decided which music i would want to add to my film and how fast i would want it all to link together. 
To put my clip together i worked on imovie: 
Here i am linking together all my photos - i had to rotate the photos and fit them to the right size image. I made all my photos last 0.25 seconds so that it would work as a film. After i had done this i needed to then add music: 
My total clip of music was too much as i only had a short clip so i need to trim out what little bit of music i wanted playing in the background of my photos.
MY MOVIE: 
My final movie - I really like this clip i have created, i think it is a very catchy movie and the music worked really well as it was a slow romantic dance - the music i used was (Time Of  My Life by Dirty Dancing) I am really pleased with my final outcome. 
Things that could be improved if i had the chance would be maybe have matching outfits that also fit in well with the theme and setting. I might also make my clip a little bit longer so i could get more of the song in so you could get a real effect of it. For this clip i took 59 photos and i would like to aim next time to take about 80. 
But i am pleased with my final outcome i think it worked well and was quite easy to create and i think it is a very creative piece.
