Progress 2.0

I feel like I'm almost there, degree project is killing me but thankfully I have most of my stuff done for this course so I feel like I can focus more on my degree project.


I saw my friends PowerPoint template and Dean's comment on it, making me feel the need to add some designs but then I remembered Dean's mention of my stuff being fine and not needing to add anything. So, I made sure not to touch any of the stuff I've already gotten the approval of from Dean.


Meanwhile, I did some editing on my music. I found out that the showreel should best be 40 - 45 seconds so I came to the realization that I had to edit my music accordingly. Thus I tried the Adobe software Audio Editor for the first time.

I asked some friends on how to use it and proceeded to work on it. This is my first time editing music like this, I usually just cut and blend in Premiere Pro so I honestly felt a little overwhelmed with all the extra features. Nevertheless, I pushed through, picking out a section that had a bit more flavour and excitement but would also be easy to fade and blend. 

A lot of the soundtrack was just sound matching and the wavelengths were pretty helpful in finding the exact place to cut when my ears were useless. Overall I had fun and would be interested in doing this again or just learning more about it.

Showreel

I showed Dean my previous showreel and besides the expected the response about the vibe and original logo, the rest was about the same. He suggested changing the intro obviously as well as the song and mentioned that the images should match the ones on the website.  So I decided to pick a song that was less repetitive compared to the previous one since Dean mentioned it could get boring. I like jazz so I went with that. The song was chosen after a lot of deliberation and advice from Dean, and while editing the showreel I actually felt that the combination of the song, my colour palette and my logo gave off a rather modern classic feel.  You know, a little minimalistic and like walking into an old and expensive but refurnished restaurant with jazz music playing in the background, meant to cater to the younger customers. So I tried to make my intro's transition match with this vibe.

Final Day

Today's my birthday and I have officially completed my assignments as well so I'm feeling good. I showed Dean my showreel for the last time and there was an issue with the timing of my artwork and the song in the promotional section of my showreel so I fixed it up in class and got the approval from Dean that my showreel was all good. I also converted all my Microsoft word documents to artworks in Illustrator so PROGRESS! Now all that's left is to fill my spreadsheet and I'll be done!

Winter Wonderland

I went to winter wonderland on this day. It's my first amusement park in a long time. I went with a couple friends and it was really fun but expensive. I rode on a rollercoaster, bumper car and pendulum ride for the first time. It was amazing and I am glad I got the opportunity to go, but no matter what I still can't get over the prices. Everything was so expensive! Like how?? The pizza was like £10 and yet it looked so disgusting, I couldn't bring myself to buy any of the food even though I really wanted to eat them. Instead, I went food window shopping, staring at each stall and the food they serve while mentally calculating the conversion rate and figuring out how many meals one amusement park snack could get me back home.  My friend and I wanted to eat churros so we went all over the park and compared the prices until we found the cheapest and most worth it option. While exploring we saw a bunch of people carrying the cutest animal plushies and we wanted to try playing ...
