Creating a Website in WIX PART VIII - A website redesign

 I decided to do completely redesign my website.

The old one felt too cluttered and not simple and clean enough. The single page design worked in theory but the not precise distinction between pages made this website feel heavy and slow.

I decided to change the theme of the website to a 'Wildlife Photography'.

The entire process of creating my website with my commentary included can be watched below.



After completing my website I created a short five question form which was supposed to help me see if the new website is better than the old one or not.

Unfortunately only four people out of the ones that completed the previous one completed this one, however from the results I received I can say that the new website is better then the old one.

The results you can view below.


1. Do you like this website more than the previous one?

As you can see out of all of the people that filled out this form, all are saying that the new site is either much or slightly better then the old one.


2. If you checked the fourth or fifth option, please tell me in what ways is it worse?

Fortunately, no one answered this question, since everyone said that the new website looks and feels better then the old one.


3. Have all of the problems from the previous website were fixed in this one?

One person out of four replied that not all of the problems were fixed in the new website, so let's see what problems were not fixed.


4. If you answered No in the previous question, could you tell me what else should be improved?

Fortunately, it was a very quick and easy fix, which I obviously fixed right after.


5. On which device did you view this website?

Lastly I asked on which devices people were answering this form. Two people filled this questionnaire on their desktops, two on their mobile phones and one person on both.


From this feedback I feel more confident, that the new website looks and works better than the old one. I would feel more confident if I had more answers, however this many answers still shows improvement.

The new website can be viewed under the same address as the old one.

Major Project TERM III - Dream sequences in film Research

Image
In the last part of my research connected to this term's major project I will be looking closely into different dream sequences in cinema. I will analyse how different filmmakers are visualizing them in their own visual style. I will be looking at four films in which we can either see a dream sequence or the majority of the film is a dream. The four films being, ' Spellbound ' (1945) directed by Alfred Hitchcock, ' Inception ' (2010) made by Christopher Nolan, ' Anima ' (2019) created by Paul Thomas Anderson, and finally ' Wild Strawberries ' (1957) directed by Ingmar Bergman. Spellbound (1945) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Spellbound (1945) dream sequence Probably the most recognizable dream sequence in film history, and for good reason. The scenography created for this sequence was done by Salvador Dalí, Spanish surrealist artist whose one of a kind visual style can be easily recognized in every frame of this scene.  While the style does not appeal...

Sequential Photography - research, study, and final artwork

Image
You could say that the origin of sequential photography, as important by itself, is also the origin of cinema. Not the Lumière brothers, but Eadweard Muybridge can be recognized as a pioneer of film. Edweard Muybridge was an English photographer. His fame started when in 1868 Eadweard photographed Yosemite Valley in California, but today he is famous for initiating a new photography trend which is our today's topic. Sequential Photography 1 Sequential imagery is a photographic technique of taking many following pictures in a short period of time. It can be used for a variety of reasons, ranging from showing movement of someone or something to telling a compelling story. An actual origin story of the pictures above is interesting in itself. Eadweard Muybridge wanted to prove his friend that horses during gallop are pulling or their legs at the same time. Because of this trivial bet we now can enjoy films and TV series. Sequential photography 2 First set of my sequential photos I too...

Major Project TERM III - Production and Post-production PART I

Image
As of now I completed three days of shooting, and shot around 30%-35% of the needed footage. It takes more time than I anticipated but I think I will finish everything on time. I cannot really shoot outside during the weekend since there is a lot of people on the streets at night during these days, so I have to go out during the weekdays. It slows the production a bit since now I have most of the interior shots done, so the only things I need to shoot are outside. I also understood quickly that making everything by myself is far more difficult and complicated than I anticipated. There are some shots which I imagined in my mind that are not looking as good when I shoot it. Nevertheless, focusing on the positive I have finished shooting and editing first page of the script. The entire editing process with the actual edited part of the film at the end. You can view it here. This part ranges from the beginning of the script to the first scene on the second page. Shooting around one to thre...
