The Cowling Cup!

Well.....here's our iMovie for the AMV Pepsi brief! Not what we had originally intended on creating but hey....when Danielle mentions she has a cow suit and would like to wear it again for entertainment purposes how could I say no? I must admit - I did find watching her run around in a field full of randy cows with a football pretty funny.

I personally feel the production of this iMovie compared to the one we made last year is of a much higher standard and felt as though we have put a lot more effort into making the finished product an effective piece of film, whilst including; transitions, sound effects, background music and clip stills to add tension and shift focus.

It did take us quite a while to decide on the final order of the film and to agree on the edits and arrangements, if we had any longer to finish the film I can imagine we would have spent a lot longer tooing and froing between clips. However, I feel as though working on the film over a couple of days allowed us to look at with fresh eyes from day to day, which is always a good thing as it really pays off to take your mind off it and look at it again with a clean mind. I really think this helped as we were able to make decisions a bit faster and were less fussy, which I think is one of our down points, we like everything to be just perfect that we fuss and fuss over the tiniest points - where in many cases we have to agree to disagree to meet deadlines.

I feel as though I have learnt a lot while learning how to use iMovie and feel more confident with the software and it's functions. I think it would be really useful and wise if I started learning how to use other creative programs to their full potential, especially Dreamweaver and Wordpress as this would come in handy when I need to create my own website to display work. All of these added skills will increase my appeal to future agencies.
