Self Critique

For my final edit I decided to simplify a bit and take the dog's voice out. I thought it was a cute idea, but im not sure how to work the dog in with the way that everything was shot. I am going back closer to my original idea and sticking to a more serious point.I also did some work on the audio. I added presence many spots (especially in the area in the kitchen). For my menu, I revised completely and made much softer on the eyes. Im pretty happy with how this homework assignment went over because I am much more comfortable and familiar with the programs this week.

Crit on Crit

I was told that my dog was a pretty good actor, and it was suggested that I give him a voiceover to make him more of a character. So I did. It kinda changes the angle that the story is coming from but it makes the movie more entertaining because it adds a comical aspect to the piece. I also shortened the video by about 4 minutes because there was just too much dragging. There are still some audio errors in my video that were from recording. I'm still learning how to use final cut but I'm in a much better place than I was.
