Director Portfolio Exercise 7

For this exercise we were required to produce an audiovisual project that shows a passage of time. It was to include 10-12 images and also three sources of sound (one which recorded by ourselves.)

Need a Job

Add to My Profile More Videos

My audiovisual project is about finding a job. The story is simple, the character is looking for a job, applies at various places, waits for a reply (passage of time), recieves a letter and an interview date and finally gets the job. There are 15 images and two sources of sound. At the beginning there is a 'click' sound representing the job search online, and I created the song (background music) on Cubass using MIDI. I initially recorded the sound of paper printing for the CV image, and also some dialogue indicating the interview date. However the sound quality was really was really bad and did not flow with the rest of the project.

I really liked the beginning. I thought the music really matched the antisipation of finding a job. Really fits well together. Also quite a clear idea, simple and effective

Good use of stills, works well and tells the story well. Personally whilst the music particularly works well towards the start as it builds the narrative, I think a change in music would of given it a bit more emotion.

Suitable music for narrative, simple story line is effective with small number of stills. Like the composition of initial shots.

I like it. It's clear. The music is good, but as mr pulver says maybe a shift in music to create a bit more anticipation.
