After my critique yesterday I have a few things to consider with my project. I have said before that I wasn't sure about including the text with my images and my tutors brought that up yesterday. I think they are right that it takes away from the imagery and doesn't look very professional. They mentioned about possibly using just initials or a letter instead of writing out the whole story. I like this idea very much, I like the idea of just having a R as the title. I think if I can find a graphic designer who can design me really different, creative font then I think this could work really well. I think from the images I have got from Tom, it is pretty obvious that there is a link with little red riding hood so it doesn't need the story over the top.
I have finally picked my 9 images. I ideally wanted 8 but I couldn't choose one to remove. I am so happy with the photos from Tom, they were better than what I expected to get out of it and I have found it very difficult to cut them down. I have mainly chosen the darker ones with lots of shadows to reflect the dark theme and the natural light from the day has worked really well in casting interesting shadows.
Now I've got to work on my video. I'm struggling to find a way to make my images into a video because I'm finding a slide show format looks really amateur, however at the moment I can see no other way of creating a video from my images. I might have to talk to a film student to see if they have any ideas of what I can do.
