The second time Simon saw my self portrait video, after the rough cut adjustments, he gave me some extra feedback.
He liked the addition of the screenshots, but he thinks it could be more effective if I experimented with the sound element. He suggested to try and get rid of the sound design during the screenshot moments and see what they looked like. He also mentioned trying to find a phone camera sound effect just to make it more realistic. With the sound design, he wanted me to add a few more sound effects like walking on the stones and the book closing just to bring the video to life and make it more realistic.
I tried removing all of the sound during the screenshot parts of the video and I thought it made the video better and it worked really well. I found a sound effect for taking a picture and reduced the volume to make it subtle and not that noticeable. This sound effect helps create a better atmosphere and brings the video to life. I also added sound effects of walking on stones, however the one I found was too slow, so I had to speed it up when editing and I also reduced the volume to make it less noticeable. For the closing of the book, I found a sound effect on YouTube and synced it up with the footage and thought it worked well with the video and made it more realistic.
