Animation Review


Animation Review:

                                                                      *NOTICE*
...All of the opinions were given me by the viewers via comments on the video or by the questionnaire that I gave them to write their opinion on the video...The one below is an example of the questionnaires that I gave out.

The animation worked well on its own, everything was in the correct order and timed in my opinion very well.

The images and music worked with each other well and had no problems like sudden graphical loss for example it was 360p then suddenly turned 240p.

Good:
The audience likes the animation; the music was appropriate and it a good variety of shots.

The animation was said by one of the viewers to be aimed at 16-24 year olds which is actually what I was aiming at.

Bad:
The animation however has been said to not have enough or any camera angles at all, which could be improved if we have an actual character that you follow but it would mean ripping the animation from its roots.

There was also a comment about the background of the college being uneven and flat, which can also be fixed if identified.

Improvement:

There are plenty of places where improvements can be made. For example, the doors at 1:08 and 1:29 can be animated to open and close at certain moments.

The little arrow head at 0:52 can be animate to look like its moving towards the entrance.

The staff member at 1:14 can also be animated to move a bit like waving his or hers arm, leg or head.

I would be able to do so if I had edited the background a bit more.

Reason for such an animation:
The reason was that I wanted the viewer to feel like they are the ones who are the one applying for the college course, I also did it like this because the background of the animation would be hard to replicate and would take time, as well as the staff member uniforms would also need to be replicated.
