Final Render of the Project 1

Improving Finalised Video

Target Audience

My target audience is focus on the young generation of teenagers of age 17 (Form 5) which is the year of the hardest challenge in their academic lives they had to face SPM. Even though the time is tight, but in a sense the moment still not yet come so they are not as tense as I thought.

Survey with Target Audience

Since my target audience is secondary high schoolers, I went back to my hometown and interview some former schoolmates that still in school.

My questions are

What do you think of your peers in high school?
        -Lazy and forgetful

From 5 interviews, most of them thought their peers as students want works to be done but not with good planning and most of them really into Facebook and attendance than other beneficial (boring) routine. Really, Microsoft Words are a trademark in written project, assignments and portfolio, folios for its convenience yet tidy and clean settings and layout.        

Persona

After some interview from some former schoolmates, I made a persona based on the information obtained:


Name       Wee Tze Teng
Age          17
School      SMK Pekan Baru
Class        5 Kenari (science streamed)
Hobby      Net-surfing
Habbit      Disorganised and lack of grip in his own predicament

Current dilemma
With SPM at the not-too distant horizon yet still got assignments (we called it folios at that time) in History and Moral Studies, the biggest headache and distraction.

Personality 
A quite serious student if not of his clumsiness in handling crisis and his academic management. You can say he is sort of the late night oil burner like the rest of his generation.

Project 1 Time & Space

Artist Statement

In this project, I decided to shoot a video depicted a bad day for a student when he got up late, rush to school only to find out it is holiday then finally his PC broken down taking his works along. I would like to show how a man being at the wrong place and wrong time can affect his daily routine and thus his mental state.

The whole process was recorded by Canon 500D with camera applications. Then the video is editted in Adobe After Effects CS4. The audio was extracted from various artists from free music websites like Youtube and Last.FM like classic Schumann Lotus Flower and Boots Randolph Yakety Sax. The sound effect is downloaded from Soundbible. The editting of audio is done by Adobe Soundbooth CS4, the rest of the combination of audio and video and rendering is based on After Effects.
