Assignment 2 - A day in my life

For this assignment, I began by thinking what a typical day in my life would be like. I realised that there are basically 2 main operating modes, which is to be on time and late. And both happen with almost even frequency due to mostly unforeseen circumstances and my own procrastination.

Thus, I wanted to present to the class something that I would normally go through in a day. I had originally intended to present it in the style of "24" and if you do look at my webpage (ok I have no idea how to upload that here) there is actually a bar on the left that says "the following takes place between 0900 and 1200" and what not.

Another thing is, I wanted to show it was me, but without my presence in each of the pictures, so rather than pictures of myself doing stuff, I wanted to show that I was at a particular place and time by showing EVIDENCE that was there. However I might just want to rethink the whole concept...

The late bit of the presentation was supposed to be a sort of humorous juxtaposition. Which unfortunately, wasn't very humorous. The bit about sleeping seemed like a cheap shot, but that was actually because despite shrinking my images, I could not fit everything into 180kb. However now with the help of my team mate Chris, I think I know the right method to do it.

Here are a few of the images that I had to cut out due to the lack of space...



This (above) was supposed to be a typical day at lecture, with me in the washroom trying to stay awake.
Something along the likes of me waking up early (messy)
And me waking up late (messier)
Wanted to use this shot for going home, I personally love it, but didn't include it in the class presentation either...

Hello Mark:

Was trying to find your comment box and realized you had 2 entries together! So here goes:

For the narrative about changing from you to the woman, you can change the colour of the text to maybe red or pink. Another way is that when the guy narrates, words comes from the left and when the girl narrates, words can come out from the right. When you are consistent, the viewers will be able to understand the story immediately.

I really like the trailer you did!
