I can’t believe this semester is already over. I am so close to getting my Master’s degree which feels so surreal! I am so happy with where my project is at and I am so excited to work on it more over break. I got some useful feedback and advice from my classmates about my proof of concept. Everyone seemed to like the color palette I had which I am very happy about because all of it was intentional, I even brought another outfit with me to see which one I liked more! Laura pointed out that I don’t have text saying “lost media” on screen which I didn’t even realize! I thought I did but I actually just have the title, so I will definitely add that to my intro so my audience knows what the video is. Additionally, everyone thought the eeriness and campiness was cool so I will definitely play into that more and practice not feeling so awkward on camera. I could also get someone else to do the intro as Dr. Shaw said. My classmates also thought the red background was too plain so I’m planning on adding clips and editing that scene more. I’m also thinking about just refilming it because I think I’d rather have a black curtain behind me instead of a green screen.
I do have a set committee and I’ll have all the signatures soon. I haven’t sent anything to them yet but I got some feedback in Project Workshop so half of my committee has seen everything I’ve made so far! I will share my progress with Jan and Carolyn soon as well. My first next step is to reshoot the introduction part in the studio and finish the script of the rest of my project. For the paper, I want to make a better and more detailed outline now that I have more of a structure and clear sources that are cohesive and related to each other. I also want to make an annotated bibliography because that helps me understand and work better. So my next deliverables will be the script and the outline!
I want to improve the website I made for my project and keep up with it after I graduate! I was thinking of doing a blog style website and maybe even a “lost media of the week” where I talk about all the examples of lost media that didn’t fit in my project! I will definitely put it in my portfolio and find a place where I can submit it.
Overall, I feel good about my progress!
