Twin Screen - The human Body and the Digital World Evaluation of Final Piece

I am really happy with what I managed to produce in the end even though I went through a lot of struggles to get here. I feel like all the problems I faced have helped me to develop my skills having to solve them and find ways around them. I wasn't confident at ll on After Effects when we began this project but now that we have come to the end of it and I have managed to produce this piece I am much more confident and happy to use it as I can see the kind of advantages it has in creating these unique effects. My piece is meant to be an observation but also comparison between the human body and the digital world aka a computer. I did this through the use of Binary code on one and side and DNA code on the other side. I feel like the binary code is very identifiable but to a lot of people I showed this too they weren't too sure what the right side was meant to be. I feel like maybe if I were to approach this again I could find a more identifiable way to represent DNA and the human body which would make it easier to understand. I feel like the use of time remapping was effective though because it allowed me to make the silhouettes fall in and out of time with each other which added a key point to them message of the piece. It is showing how humans have created this technology like computers and we keep making these computers better and better so in a way computers need us to progress. However we have reached a point were humans also rely on computers and digital technology to help us progress as people so in tern we now need computers but computers are only here because of us. This is a very interesting theory so I wanted to keep the piece quite basic to not over complicate an already intense thought process. I had the silhouettes fall in and out of time through out but I made sure to eave long enough gaps in between doing so because I didn't want the audience to feel too bombarded with information and visuals. I also really like the glitch effect which I was able to add in on Premier because it adds another element of interest to the piece which I felt it needed as it was getting quite slow in a few places and I felt people may loose interest to some viewers who weren't necessarily understanding the meaning fully. I also thought it was really clever how I could work between the Adobe platforms to create this piece because it allowed me to add lots more elements. For example I began in After Effects with my footage editing it all and keying out the green screen and then I used Photoshop to create the layering materials so the DNA code and the Binary code images. I then imported these in and finished editing and adding effects on After Effects. I then to improve the piece further moved it into premier where I was able to add the glitch effect and also the sound track and then I was done. I am glad that I have learnt all these new skills and I feel like now I have them in the future I will be able to create much more impressive pieces on this programme but for now I am pleased I got this far with it. I have made a message and also made a piece which I think is visually interesting.
