Final Result/ Evaluation of Transitions Project:

I am happy with the final outcome of this project overall. However, there are a few problems that I faced during working on this piece.

Positives:
The first half of the project I feel has been mostly successful. I have managed to create what I feel to be a believable atmosphere in the setting of the Space Station. The use of directional sound editing means that the sound overall appears natural to the scene itself.

I also feel that the score during these scenes is successful. It takes aspects from modern TV scores such as modern Doctor Who but also feels like it would comfortable suit the old version of the show just as well. My editing of the score into the piece overall was mostly smooth and transitions into each piece very well.

The edits that were made for the footage itself, including picture quality and colourisation, were also successful. These changes allowed for me to differentiate this version from the original version.

This is the aspect I feel that is most successful, making the project feel as if I have put my own mark on it to make it feel like my own piece of work.

Improvements:
I mainly have a problem with the second half of the project. I spent much more time focusing on the first half so that, when it came to working on the second half, a lot less time was spend creating, sourcing and editing the sound effects and score. This resulted in the sound feeling rushed overall as I simply just reused a lot of the sound effects and score from the first half due to lack of time.

Upon looking at the final edit, I noticed that some areas which required sound were audibly missing as a result of oversight, this means that some parts seem empty in comparison others.

Due to lack of finding any voice actors to perform 'ADR' work, I ended up cutting most scenes that contained characters speaking. This had left some moments that appear awkward as characters sometimes appear to interact without any speech. I should have made more of an effort to find voice actors to help with this problem. This also lead me to re-edit entire sequences, using p more time that should have been spend creating and editing the sound.

I ended up cutting the last couple of minutes due to the sound being very unpolished at the last minute. Thankfully, this did benefit the project seeing as the it now ends in a place that I am more happy with.

Overall, this project was mostly successful with a result that I am mostly happy with. However, I feel that self-imposed time constraints overall diminished the quality of the project.
