I attended all the sessions bar two due to illness. Due to
the nature of the module I felt that more would be gained by attending as many
workshops as possible. I think in some workshops I could have attempted more.
Particularly, in the visual effects workshops, I didn’t do a lot of experimentation
with the software. I think if I had, I would have been able to get a better
understanding of the software itself but also be more confident in using
independently. As it stands, I feel that I would struggle to use After Effects
and Mia. In the workshops in the workstation, I’m quite pleased with how things
turned out. In the time given. I think Alice and I planned our time well in
making all the different elements for the scenes. I think the only thing that
didn’t work well is the small liquid latex wound that we made for the actor. I
think that we spend so much time trying to work on the fake arm and hand that
this had to be made at the last minute. As a lot my time during the workshops
was spent making special effects, I didn’t have a lot of involvement with the
actual set build and set design. I think that I could have been more proactive
in helping out here, when extra hands were needed.
