Final Restorative Justice Film - Balance

Here is our final film and we managed to get it finished before deadline!

Now time to reflect. Personally if we could change anything about the film I would have really liked to have seen more colour and followed our moodboard, perhaps doing a more minimalized version of Shepard Fairey’s work. We decided against adding colours in the end because the whole idea about our film is that the figures are indistinguishable and by adding colours to them the audience could accidentally be looking for some sort of symbolism that isn’t there. Also, we were using After Effects and Flash to animate but looking back on the process it would have gone more smoothly if we just animated it all in Flash.

Overall the experience was a little stressful but I am proud of our group for getting it done in a week and I am happy with the film. I have learnt that it helps to be upfront with people and tell them exactly what needs to be done. It’s better to be clear than be left getting an unfinished shot. And to always be in contact with your group because anything can happen. There are a few glitches in the film that need to be fixed but due to time they cannot be fixed before deadline but they can be done after but I think the film did come out how we wanted it to.
