This the evaluation that I have produced for the final product that I have created for my final major project.
Bibliography
This is my bibliography for my overall project.
Revised Lower Thirds
After showing my final edit to my tutor she suggested to alter my lower thirds by having them appear on the screen, rather than having any motion effects as it was to distracting when viewing. After re-editing my lower thirds and watching my final edit with them added in I am in agreement that it suits the tone of the documentary much more.
Lower Thirds
This is the lower third design that I have created in Photoshop and animated in After Effects.

Title Card
These videos are the two versions of my title card that I made in After Effects.
Title Change
After my tutor suggested to change my title from ‘A Slice of Paradise’ to ‘The Good Life’ (a 70s sitcom) I decided to look into what this comedy was about. I found out that it was also about pensioners living their lives in retirement, so I have taken the suggest onboard and changed my title.
Style Frames
After producing twelve different designs for possible lower thirds to use in my project I decided to pick four and produce them as style frames in Photoshop so that I could decided on the one which I want to use in my final major project.
Title Fonts
This is research that I carried out into different font styles to help me determine which font would best suit my project.
Rough Edit Feedback
The feedback which I received from my tutor mainly consisted with shots either reorganising the structure of them or including ones that I have left out of my edit. I have acted on all of the feedback that I have received and feel that from doing this my documentary does look a lot better and to a more professional standard. My feedback includes:
