Final


Final of Re-do from Merry Eady on Vimeo.

Here Is the finished film for my City In Flux project. I liked the changes I had made when I re-did the film and decided to keep them. I also looked back at the other videos that weren't as high of a quality as the newer videos and decided on which effect and style I wanted my final video to look like. I really like how the film has turned out and I find it interesting to look at the surface side of a city rather than concentrating on an actual object.

Re-do of Final from Merry Eady on Vimeo.

After noticing that the quality of the previous videos I did were poor I decided to re-do the whole video. I knew what I already wanted within the video and how it was suppose to go so I re-created it but hopefully making the quality of the images slightly better. I only made a few slight alterations within the video that I feel makes the video better. Once I had finished making the video I rendered it so that I could see the quality of it before I add any effect to the film. This allowed me to see the outcome of the video as well. Also when I re-did the video it came to 1 second shorter than the previous one. I feel that this is because I made the video more precise to the song I chose and the images evenly and equally spaced out within the timeline of After Effects.

The last film I did added a different effect over the top of the images. I likes this one because it added a colour over the top making the images within the video more unique and I feel conveys the decaying aspect of the video better. I still however don't like the way the quality of the video has come out.

The second short film I did was one that I did add an effect to. I feel that by doing this it adds a subtle change so the video but more effective. However, like the last film I did the images are very pixelated.

This is my final piece in development. Here I've just used the images and sound to create the video without using any other effect. This allowed me to see multiple outcomes of what my final film will look like and then decide which one would most suit the end result. I like how simple it can come across and how by not adding any other effects into it you are able to really focus on the images. The only issue I have with it is how pixelated the video has turned out to be.

Final Piece Screenshots



I've done a few screen shots of the making of my final piece video. I used images that I edited in Photoshop and opened them in a project in After Effects. I overlayed the images moving them slightly so that it would create a moving image.This was to show the development of the decay within the city over time. I liked how I used multiple images to create a whole video rather than to actually use a video I took. The idea of the film was to look at the colour and level saturation to empthasis the decay of the city. I wanted to show dacay by lighting and patterns, I didnt want it to really show any particular object within the short film but rather what the microscopic aspects of it could look it.

I liked the idea of using colour within a city project because colour always creates a certain mood within your work. l feel that by getting the point across its not necessarily whats in the image that conveys a mood within a film its the lighting and contrast of colours that really set the mood.
