Visual+Design+&+Special+Effects+-+Soobin

Forrest Gump Lydia: I've watched this movie a lot of times and I don't think I have every focused on the special effects. I've always wondered how they shot those scenes with the president. Also, it's interesting to know how they shot the scene where a lot of people are gathered in front of the white house. I think that you can also talk about the explosives used in the war.

Jenice: The presentation was prepared and organized. I think you did a good job on explaining the exact terms of special effects in the movie, such as computer generated imaging and period piece. You talked about how it was used in a specific scene, when Forrest met the president, which helped me to understand more about the concept of computer generated imaging. However, I think you could've improved if you explained more about how it was filmed and the process of shooting, instead of just explaining the concepts. Other than that, nice job!

Daeun Soobin clearly labeled the slides, which made it easier for the audience to follow and understand. Her presentation fulfilled all the requirements, including the summary, analysis of special effects, and number of slides. In addition, during the presentation, Soobin talked at a good pace. Her voice was loud and clear, which showed that she was aware of what she was talking about. One part of the presentation that could improve is being a bit more brief. Although Soobin did not have any unnecessary information on her slides, they were all in full sentences. Since having too much words on slides are not as effective as having just the keywords and more visuals, I believe that Soobin's presentation could be much more improved if she could work on this.

Eddy: I was quite amazed that you chose this movie to explain visual design and special effects. However, you proved that even old movies like forrest gump used similar tactics in the modern film industry. I liked how you showed slides of pictures when you described the J.F.K scene. It was very easy to understand and quite interesting how they filmed it. Also, it was great that you first explained that the film itself was a periodic piece. It gave an easier approach for us why they filmed scenes (Vietnam war, J.F.K). However, I was expecting a more exciting movie that involved a lot of computer graphics. Sure Forrest Gump is a great movie, a definite classic. But, compared with modern films, it was a bit humdrum.

I'm just commenting after taking a look at the Keynote, so my evaluation might not be the most accurate one out of all. But the presentation seems to be well organized. Each slide fulfilled its purpose of informing the audience. Not only that but also every slide had a visual that helps the audience stay focused on the presentation. If the presentation itself was as good as the Keynote that you had prepared, I'm sure you did great! On top of that, the CGI of integrating Tom Hanks into an old film is interesting.
