OVERALL PROJECT EVALUATION

For the evaluation of the whole project. Honestly, I'm quite satisfied with this project,  Although some of the tricky parts cannot be done well, such as editing section still needs to be strengthened. At present, I always use my ability to the highest until the limit. The whole process also encountered many difficulties, however, challenge many different areas I have never been exposed, for example,  the use of professional camera to filming, layout the scenes, storyboarding, making props, editing video or even a small fashion design, etc., In fact, in the begging, is not really easy, but after I finished all my mood is quite happy, feeling of accomplishment, due to I like to try many different areas, to discover more that I unknown, after I working also found that actually are interested in this domain too, I believe in the future is also very helpful to me. 

 

​

Actually, at the very beginning, when I got this brief, I was very nervous, confused and even overwhelmed. I was really unfamiliar with this area, I could not even know it because, in my country, political nature of the problems or others social issues, we are forbidden to say at  school, so in fact it can be said that for, this is the first time to "really understand" these kinds of things and issues. Of course, use my own country's language to understand all is already hard to understand, not to mention that I have to translate to use English to think about this topic. Initially, I wanted to challenge even harder areas, such as socialism or Islam. However, I just random to pick one who looks not quite bord area, Feminism, but I also had spent a great deal of time researching on Feminism. All causing my progress to postpone the whole future, I found my time is not enough for me to study other areas, or think of different topics, owing to other peels process are very fast, my stress is high. English is not my first language, compared to other students I should need more time to understand many, many things, they have to search a lot of information, me too.  At the same time, I have to search more and more information in English as well as in Chinese together, that can lead me to understand better. However, I am also slowly moving, slowly overcome til here, very moved finally have this outcome, for me it is not easy.

For my part of design evaluation, I think this is the biggest difference compared with my previous works, this is the first time use the concepts of pink to represent my design work. In fact, in the past, my own designs were based on black and white gray, those dark colours. I dare not boldly use colours, however, I  really like colours, I like to play with colour, I feel the colour is very important, also can actually create a lot of interesting visual effects, could give the audience a long-term impression, and quickly grasp the eyes of the audience. 

As for the evaluation part of my entire video, I think that because of my unfamiliarity with the editing Premiere Pro software, which led me to draw a lot of time on this for research, then it could let me not get a good cut. Honestly, I have not yet reached a time allocation for perfect balance, because I get completely unprepared to have such a difficult step on video editing, I think I should have experiment before my official first record video, then I can try to drop into the Premiere Pro software exercises that what effects I want to use for the clip, then I have a psychological preparation can be cut my final finished film, rather than to be like just jump into the final piece and start to learn how to splicing. But also regarding the time mange, so I have no way to be more sophisticated splicing part. Of course, my final completed film may not be able to the perfect feeling. From the very beginning, my initial idea was to animate my makeup products "jump" into the scene, but due to my limited skills, I could not do what I wanted, and I later changed to use my hand to let the products approach. in conclusion, the overall outcome is quite good for me.
