final movie and screen grabs

Final movie and screen grabs

Final DVD Menu's

- Just to mention the final buttons are not displayed in this way anymore, now on the main pages the buttons will fit within the grey grey line and the button name will be underneath the button. The type will be in white and when the button in highlighted it will turn white. When i put my DVD backgrounds into dvd studio pro i had problems with the buttons, you could barley read the type on the buttons because they were so small so i decided to change them and they work really well.

 - the buttons for the menus representing finals and test will be presented as above however when highlighted the main central buttons will turn white. 

I have also changed the buttons to the right of the page (home and other menu) they are also now presented in a grey box and work in the same way as the others, they are black and when highlighted turn white. This way all the buttons follow a theme and nothing gets confused. 

DVD background ideas

- this is just a quick post to see another development for more feedback in crit, above i have change the bat to a solid colour which works slightly better that the blotted one shown previously and the bottom i don't like the bat (although i do like the textured background created) the way i have presented the buttons here has given me an idea for the final button display. 

Final Crit Evaluation.

Brief Title
Batman film week for superhero film season.

Subject and Rational 

The dark and deeper side to Batman. The theme for my idents will be the the layout of the film - a scene from the films - sound track and film 4 ending. I also intend for the audio and film clips to be memorable moments from the films. A second theme running throughout will be that i use stop frame animation for them all, this way they will all run as a set.  

The idents will be for film 4. The audience is not gender specific, the will be for adults not children as the idents are specifically for showing the deeper and darker side. I have tried to avoid the fun and joke side which some of the films have. The audience will also be familiar with Batman films as i have used memorable quotes to trigger them into wanting to watch the film again. 

DESIGN DIRECTIONS
The tone of voice is informative and dark. It will play on the audience’s existing knowledge of the Batman films, and high light memorable areas of the film where something exciting is happening. The design concept for the idents will be stop frame, i have chosen this because my skills are not very wide and i am trying to play to some strengths?! The idents are influenced specifically by two films The Dark Knight and Batman Begins, originally my intention was to include a larger variety of films but i ran out of time. The way i will incorporate colour is with the film 4 ending, after feed back it was decided i should use red as it represents Film 4 and makes the logo look more like it is to be used in the real world. 

ACTION PLAN

Change the Film 4 ending to red.

Make more DVD backgrounds.

Storyboard all different Film 4 endings.

Screen grab or Time line idents.

Create draft motion graphics for all 5 idents

Make ident 1 smoother.

5 Questions.

1. What do you think behind the idea of my idents (them being almost like clips from the film) do you think they work?
2. Which Film 4 end do you prefer the red or white?
3. What improvements could you suggest?
4. Do you think i need to add more or better storyboards?
5. Do you no how i can upload just mp3 sound clips?

After my crit i have decided to consider all the points put across to me and test them even though i may not agree with them all we can still see if they look better when finished. My next step will be:

- make more story boards to show my final developments

- it was suggested i use screen grabs to represent my final movies in a story board or time line.

- change the film 4 ending to the red blocks moving inwards.

Potential finals.
