When I first read
the brief I felt I could not engage with the project easily, and even
throughout the project I found it very challenging. However, to try and find a
way of connecting, I chose a context that I can relate to a lot, this being
media pressures.
Creating
puppets was a completely new thing to me and I was not looking forward to that element.
However, making them was very fun and I was very pleased at the professional outcome.
Creating the
intro and video was something I found less challenging, as I had much practice in this area. But my skills developed slightly through the experimentation in
this project.
Even though at
the beginning of this project I did not have a positive outlook, I am pleased
with the outcome and I feel the video portrays the message of media pressure
well, especially with the use of my humorous and parody tone.
If I had more
time, I would have created more puppets and scenes, of the waiting room and more
interviews of the judges accepting the puppets that look like them and turning
others down even. This may have made the message clearer.
