IN-CLASS CRITIQUE

In-class critique notes for Time-based project 2.

I have decided to go with my image-based countdown concept.

Tracy and Stephen critiqued my video so far. They said:

- I should have thematic connections between the image in the inner circle and the outer part.
- I should also have one theme per number.
- I should also consider having an overall theme.
- I should make sure I keep the frame still so that there is no change perceptible as the number changes. They said that the second will seem longer if it doesn't move at all which is a good point because I was disappointed with how short the second was.
- There was a suggestion that the numbers should also be made up of patterns but I am concerned that this might get too busy.
- There was another suggestion that I choose a different font for the letter. Stephen suggested a more angular sans serif like Neutra or Akkurat.
- WE also discussed whether there should be an obvious line going around as it rotates but I think it might be better without.

Overall, this critique was very helpful. I will take up a bunch of these suggestions, especially the thematic ones.
