Project Title: INVASION
Image: Don't have one on this computer.
To improve the project: I could add more photographs, higher quality ones, to boot. I had a track I originally recorded for this project that I could have put the crazy sounding one over to enhance the creepiness. I also could have added transitions, but unfortunately I didn't know how. I could brush up on how to take photos at night to avoid the blurry images, and probably should use autofocus next time. There are a number of things I could have done to make this project better, looking back.
What was successful: I think the sound certainly captures the whole unnatural aspect of the whole slide show, and I like how my final slide turned out. The picture I took of the moon worked pretty well to make a sort of "flashing lights" image reminiscent of old UFO photos. The length of the slides works to build suspense, though it probably is a bit boring.
Sound and images: The sound is the whole show, without it you would be confused as to what is going on, and it would be extremely boring. The images are mostly mundane until the final slide.
Editing: I recorded the soundtrack before I did anything else, then I went out and took the photos at 4AM, but I didn't take many because my fingers were frozen after a while.
Importance of sound: Like I said before, without the sound there might as well be no show. In this project it's the most important part.
2. I could have used a number of other things: haunting, spacey piano music; just the sound of wind; hushed voices; or, lots of noise, then everything going quiet at the explosion.
There are a lot of possibilities with ambiguous pictures like the ones I had.
