Evaluation for design for digital media.

1. What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you applied them?

Within this module I have developed skills mainly in after effects, as I have never used this piece of software before. I feel I have developed valuable skills within this area and especially to be very organized with every file you save. I will remember this for future projects.

2. What approaches to generating work and solutions to problems have you developed and how have they helped?

Within this module I found story boarding most useful for getting my ideas across for what i wanted to create and i feel that this is a valuable skill to have. But story boarding is only the first bit as when it comes to creating the animation on a mac this is where the problems start to arise.

3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?

I feel that creating the storyboards was one of my strengths I preferred to do this than actually animating it on screen. 

4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how could you exploit these more fully?

I feel that my main weakness within this was that I have never designed for animation before and have never used after effects before either. So I found that fairly difficult when creating my animation and I spent a lot of my time trying to learn how to use the software.

5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?

  • be more organized with file sizes and formats so theres no problems when it gets nearer to a deadline.
  • never expect everything to work as technology lets you down so makes sure everything works ahead of a deadline.
  •  when submitting work digitally always scan paper work as your doing them so that there's not problems towards the end.
  • be more organized with everything.
  • check that my storyboards are correct before going on to mac to animate them.

close crawl.


In this little clip I'm trying to create the effect that the character is slowly creeping forward toward the screen. This image technique is similar to how the character moves in the original film.It still needs a bit of adjusting but you kind of get the idea?!?

Adding abit of sound to the chase.

Thinking along the lines of.....

80's Matchbox B-line Disaster - Mister Mental (this one seems to be more suited to a chase scene)
The Blue Wrath - i monster
The Smiths - Panic
The Specials - Ghost Town.

E4 logo exp.



The video above shows an experiment i did using the E4 logo. It just simply moves slowly on to the screen and I'v only used red, white and black in my colour scheme.

But the video below shows the same again but using only a black and red colour scheme (I think I prefer this one)


Hands Up.
