Thoughts on H264films Showreel

On our week of work experience with Fiona's studio Matter and Co., Fiona asked both Ollie and I for our thoughts on H264films Showreel. These were my thoughts...

Personally, I found that although the look of the showreel is very successful and nicely laid out, I am not a fan of the multiple videos playing at once. The showreel does not start with a logo and throws the video straight into an entirely random clip of footage.


I like this because it does not need to start obviously, that can reveal itself later, however after that clip I only became more confused. The first grid shows nine separate clips of which to me have no crossover, maybe they do but my brain is unable to process that quick enough, yes our attention spans are short so showreels need to be short but here I felt I was just being bombarded with information and could not focus on anything so very soon became board. I feel like there was just no flow to the showreel just lots of stuff on a screen of which individually make very successful clips.
