Today was the day the class had to show there final product to Melvyn and to the rest of the group. It was exciting and nerve-racking at the same time. Would they like my sequence, or would they pan it for being too retro. Well the first couple of people showed there title sequences off, and i have to say they were pretty well made. They had some interesting ideas for the title sequence which did even come to my mind, so kudos to them.
Then came my turn. I was very scared at what the group was going to think of it. Would they like the nostalgia fueled idea, or would they pan it for being too "retro". I played the video sequence and everyone in the room was quite amazed. Firstly my sequence didn't contain "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and The News, it contained The Back to The Future Theme in 8-bit, which was an idea i came up with after researching old school video games. This idea worked out well, as it didn't become boring. Everyone before had the "The Power of Love" as there opening song, so using that theme was a blast of fresh air I suppose for the group.
After my video sequence was shown i was then "critiqued" by the class and by Melvyn and Jeremy.
Firstly the group liked the 8-bit style i went for. It was different and worked well. The music was also a blast from the past as many people don't play 8-bit games anymore and the films theme in 8-bit was a nostalgic event everyone enjoyed. The class liked the video, which was more then i was hoping for, so overall my sequence was successful as a title sequence.
Next was Melvyn and Jeremy turn. They both like the nostalgic style i went for, but said the sequence was still quite simple and basic. Maybe adding in more content and making the sequence a little more fun would liven it up, but overall was a good job. Basic but it worked.
