My Final Video

In the end I actually did use myself as the character of the film as when I went to film no one was available. This was fine with me however because it meant I could work at my own pace, I framed and focused the camera first imaging the scene with me in it. Because I could not see how the character would be in the footage I ended up with some interesting shots which I was happy with. I lit the scene naturally with the light coming from the window next to the desk here the subject sat. I edited the shots based on what was happening with the animation. I used the more interesting shots at the beginning before it started, then the longer simple shots of me on the laptop, when I want all the focus on the animation, Then finally a shot of me shutting down the computer to end the film, when I click 'Shut Down...' the visual completely goes black as if I had shut off the video. I decided to make the filmed footage black an white to allow the animation to stand out as it is the main feature, I also thought this made the two screens more compatible and look as if they belong together. I also ended up making the animation slightly darker and more vibrant by upping the contrast.

Finally I added the film name and my name as creator  of the film. I decided to call the film presence because the theme of my film is peoples online presence and using the internet to socialise. I thought calling the film online or social presence would be too obvious, I called it just 'Presence' to give an idea of what the film is about without giving away too much. I believe the font I chose corresponds with the thee of technology as the font is simple and clean combined with geometric webs like the 'world wide web'.
