Final Year University Projects

Using Adobe Premiere Pro, I cut both visual and audio elements together to suit the length of the showreel. As the video shouldn't be anymore than a minute, I decided to keep to this timeframe. This was  actually helpful as it forced me to keep projects that looked impressive or I was most proud of. I've happy with my showreel as I feel that there isn't any filler and I managed to add quite a lot of movement considering some of my work are stills/print based. After completing my showreel, I uploaded this to YouTube where I featured this on my channel. This means that my showreel will be the fist video that potential subscribers/employers will see. I decided to use a song named, Shelter by Porter Robinson & Madeon. With permission from Dean, we were allowed to use a published song or soundtrack. I liked this song in particular because it was upbeat and I thought it sounded as though at intervals that the song repeated 'wonderful' which is how I would like my work...

After gaining feedback from Dean about my portfolio website, I wrote down what aspects of the website needed improving on a Trello Board. This helped me keep track of my tasks which aided my workflow. This was split into five lists consisting of:  Checks To Do Asset Size Reduction In Progress Complete Some images took an unusually long time to load on the website, and therefore needed to be reduced in weight. This meant reducing the dimensions, quality and sometimes file type to reach an optimal weight of 500kb. At this size, images can load faster on the website without overly disrupting the quality. Making these improvements dramatically changed the look and feel of the website, and feel visually appears more consistent than it was previously. Further improvements will definitely be made in the near future but at present, I'm quite happy with the outcome of the site, especially considering this was coded from scratch.
