Candice, my initial reaction to your infographic is that it is too long and has become visually underdeveloped – In short there was too much to do in such a short space of time. As a result your film has a rushed feel particularly when considering graphic design. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a fixed ‘logic / approach’ at the heart of your design work. This shows in the variations of on screen content such as line drawings, silhouettes, and real photographs. The animation and transitions also lack a consistent methodology and clear planning working hard to keep up with the audio instead. The voiceover itself has silent pauses (edits?) which are confusing to follow. Whilst I want to congratulate you on trying something so ambitious I’d suggest finding something simpler in future work to allow you develop a clear design language.
I’ve listed a few films below in order for you to see where perhaps you’ve made a mistake in your approach to where you may originate graphic designs…
