Class Criticism

On Thursday we held a class criticism session, in the middle of this project to gain feedback on our work so we can make modifications. I rushed to make sure I had a complete 30 seconds, even thought it was not perfect so that I could get sufficient feedback on the overall theme and then make refinements according to the feedback.

Here are some of the negative points made:

• Sea
  The transition from the sea to the drink needs to be faster.
  The waves are broken at high quality, they need fixing.
  Improve the movement of the sea.
  Reduce time at sea.
  
  
• Boat
  Make the boat faster.
  Time focused on the boat needs to be shorter.
  Movement animation needs to be more wild.
  
  
• Barrel
  Focus more on the barrel as it falls (fill screen?)
  Don't let the barrel leave the screen.
  Make a splash when the barrel hits the water.
  
  
• Text
  Improve some of the timing/positioning.
  Improve the timing to the music.
  
  
• Background
  Background is too static.
  
  
• Camera
  Improve movement

Here are some of the positive points made:

• Good graphic style
• Good textures
• Good font
• Good music

I will aim to resolve these issues using the rest of the project time.
