Last Check: check yourself

Please post your group feedback if you have not already done so. I will need it as part of the grading process. Also make sure you have all your process on the server (there is space). As a final check this weekend... ask yourself the following questions about your project...

Concept
Is there a clear visual pov that drives all design choices? Do you think you articulated it well? Think anybody will see/feel/get it?

Craft
Have you scrutinized every choice? Are all the parts reproduced the way you want them to be: image quality, resolution, color and alignments. Spell check?

Type
Are your choices driven by Expressiveness or Functionality? If it is supposed to be read can it be...is it on the screen long enough? Is the viewer sprinting, walking or daydreaming? Is it more appropriate for the type connote the "other" meaning through motion/movement or by the typeface choice or by both? Or is both too much?

Image
Is it interesting? Could it point to what it is representing rather than just show it? Does the image read what you want it to? Does it point somewhere else too..is it appropriate?

Time
Duration. Is it too long or too short? Could it be quicker to keep the ball rolling? Do you ever pause? Sequence. What is the story? Have you explored different "order of the shots"? Is it too predictable? or should it be? Am I on the edge of my seat? or should I be comfortable right before you punch me in the mouth?

Long hello and short goodbye or short hello and long goodbye. Where is the big "reveal"? Why?

Transition
Planned? Flow or make a statement? Float like a butterfly or sting like a bee?

Motion
What does it feel like? Mechanical or Organic? Sexy or Goofy? Should it play by the laws of physics? Do the different actors/parts behave differently? Do they have a personality? Tigger or Pooh?

Sound
Background music or "communication through the audio channel"? Too literal or Too obvious? Choreographed? Parallel or Counterpoint? Does the visual and the audio have a conversation, play together or should they argue and fight?

Communication
When the dust settles.....What does the audience remember? Were you successful?
