Finally! The end product. My short video is complete, and it runs for just under two minutes. The narrative has changed again. I have shortened it, and have not included the original Plot Point 2 and Act 3, if I had chosen to leave these parts in, it would have ended up being too long! This just means a shift of some the action to make up Plot Point 2 and Act 3.
I have to thank my dear little sister for making a wonderful Melody. She has also messed around with stop motion before, and was able to help me with that. She showed me how to use Adobe After Effects to turn the photos into separate movie sequences, since I have never used that program before. She also let me use iMovie on her MacBook rather than my Windows Movie Maker, since it is easier (no need to convert videos and music to a different format). She also showed me how to use Audacity. Obviously I have never tried making videos before, whereas she has! I am going to have to buy her the biggest Cherry Ripe to thank her!
Overall, I am pleased with the outcome of my video, but if I had the chance to redo it, there are some parts that I would change. Unfortunately I did not allow myself enough time to make changes. If there is something that I have learnt from this experience it is to allow more time and to plan properly, so that I know exactly what I want to achieve.
