Feedback:
The majority of feedback on my presentation was good. I feel I managed to successfully explain the project and what my idea and goals were. Though there are 2 points that were brought up that should be addressed.
Firstly, was the suggestion of including some form of character into the ident. As it was suggested that viewers would project their experience onto this characters to immerse themselves. This thought had previously crossed my mind during the design process but I had ultimately decided against it for the following reasons:
- Rigging a skeleton and animating a 3D character to an above satisfactory level is a lengthy process
- I had attempted skeletal rigging in Cinema4D and ran into issues with it
- My own personal take on this project was the power of the worlds that films create, including a character may have drawn attention away from this message
Based on the above reasons, a character is a low priority feature of my ident. However, I may still experiment with the idea if I have enough time to at later stages of the development.
Secondly, was the issue of my soundtrack exclusively using the "Fresh & Fun" song. As part of the cinema experience is also in the rich and deep sound that the audio systems provide.
I have already had a lot of issues with finalizing a soundtrack for my ident. So I feel once again changing the soundtrack will again result in a lengthy search for a new track. That being said, I do still feel the current track captures the quirkiness and joyful nature that I have been going for in my ident, and I still believe it compliments the ident well.
However I also agree that the track doesn't necessarily take advantage of the full power of the audio in cinemas. Such as the swooshes, and strong ambient noise featured in other idents.
As a result of this, I will be using this through SFX as opposed to the soundtrack. Initially I had wanted to keep my ident to music only, but I feel I have underestimated the importance of sound in cinema.
Including SFX of the scenes in my ident, I feel, would make the ident much more emotional.
For instance, having gusts of breeze blowing during the forest sequence, or the sounds of city life in the city sequence, all these sounds are very familiar to us and will make the ident much more immersive.
