DVA: RISE Peer Feedback

Review: Nance Cathleen DVE Fine Cut 

Reflect: 

What struck me about your video was how well the blur and the glitchy transitions looked from clip to clip. It looked really great and I thought that it fit your video very well. It makes me want to play around with the transitions more for my video. 

Inquire:

I noticed that only one of your clips was a different color filter. By doing this, did you mean to demonstrate that this was an important clip to you, or should I say, the most important clip in your video?

Suggest:

As far as quality goes with your clips, it is definitely very good. You might want to add warp stabilization to your clip at the 15 second mark in your video to make it smoother. I think that by adding this effect it will make it look less unsteady and overall add professionalism. 

Elevate:

Perhaps you can highlight certain clips with some color to make your overall video more enlightening and heartfelt if that was what your goal was. I remember you mentioning you wanted to show everyone what a great dad he is and I think by adding some warm tones, it will really bring it out more. In the end, I loved your credit slide. For some reason I didn't think about making my credits look like this and I definitely prefer this over how I made my credits. Great job overall!

Original Photos

Edited Photo

The visual hierarchy starts with the dominant object in this ad, which would be the bold title at the very top, along with the man sitting on the rocky ledge. These are the dominant images in this ad because they are the two most important objects to tell what this ad is about. Expedition in bold with the white background pops out immediately and tells the reader that this is going to be like a travel magazine. The man in the photo gives the reader a feeling of being content, accomplished, and happy.   With his dark blue jacket against the sunlight, this causes contrast with the background making him one of the first things that the viewer sees. The subdominant is the word magazine, the compass rose,  and the slogan, "Discover Your Happiness". I used a color that made them standout against the background, but they are not bright enough to be the first thing that you see. 

The color schemes that I used are complementary and split complementary colors. The main colors in the ad are oranges and blues. These colors fit best with this ad because it gives it more of an earthy tone, relaxing feel, but also making the viewer feel happy and content. The split complementary colors cause contract but with less tension, which is the main goal of this magazine ad. 

The overall emotional impression I was hoping to make with this ad is the feeling of warmth, accomplishment, and happiness that one gets when making new discoveries. There is nothing better than the feeling of seeing something you've never seen before. Between the colors and the scenery, this ad captures the moment of beauty that the earth holds; a moment where time stops and one can just enjoy the view. With this image of a man (my brother) sitting on a rock enjoying the sunset, one can only imagine the adventure he had to experience just to get there. This is why I had chosen to use the slogan, "Discover Your Happiness". With that, it tells the whole story about what this travel magazine is all about.
