E Sting Evaluation

Evaluation

I decided to review my animation in a written post. I exhibited my E Sting by publishing it on YouTube, this was great as I had a massive audience and I don’t have to travel anywhere to show people in a screening, after I posted it on YouTube I sent out a questionnaire which contained the following questions. I also showed my E Sting in class and gathered some feedback off peers. YouTube has a great audience as millions of people view YouTube everyday, however i could of shown it to a broader audience by posting it all over social networking sites and using media related sites and discussion rooms to gather a great amount of feedback, If i had the time i would of done some of these but seems i didn't I just had to settle with YouTube and the feedback from peers. 

1. Did you enjoy my E Sting?

2. What’s your gender?

3. What genre would you classify this?

4. What could be done to improve?

5. Could you tell this was stop motion?

6. Did you like the way the scene looked?

7. Who do you think this E Sting was aimed at?

8. Could you see this on E4's channel?

I gathered some results from the questionnaire over 3 days and displayed them in graphs as shown below.

 

 

 

 

 The main constraint we mainly had when making our E Sting was Time management, as time was very limited, this is because we had to create our E Sting in our two or one hour lessons, we managed to create our E Sting in three days, this was only achievable because we were well prepared, IE we set all our props and equipment up the previous day so we didn't waste anytime and we could just crack on and make it. Due to being prepared and dedicated we managed to create it for the deadline.

 

The brief for the E Sting was very straight forward and only had a few vital thing we had to do,  the most vital task was to make sure it was EXACTLY 10 seconds, use one of the music tracks provided and the only other thing was that they cant show explicit or violent E Stings during daytime hours, however they say in the brief that they might be able to after the watershed as long as its within reason. therefore apart from them two we could do anything that came to our creative imagination. With our E Sting it did not conflict with the watershed as it didnt have any violence or explitit content which means our E Sting would be able to be shown any time of the day.

 

 

 

 

 Overall I am happy with our E Sting, the main criticism we had was the lighting, we managed to make it a little better in post production by changing some settings on Premier pro such as Gamma Correction however it didnt properly fix it. these are some scree shots from my E Sting to show the light changes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I have learnt a lot from creating the E Sting and had fun in the process. Working to a brief made it very simple, we had a task and rules on what to do, so we just went straight ahead and created it. This made me happy as i want o work in the media industry and working to a brief is very important, so after completing this task I realised that working to a brief is actually pretty simple. Because of how long it takes and the effort that has to go into making animation I can happily say I am not planing on doing anything like this in the future, its defiantly not my forte.
