Group Meetings

                                         Group Meetings

    In class we had a group meeting. I found this meeting to be highly informative. It brought a social aspect to the project that we haven't really had so far. It was nice to be able to express my ideas and planning going behind the short film opening to others. The development of the film has been coming a long way and it's getting to a place where a truly good piece can be produced from it. I found it really fun to hear the ideas of others as well as their opinions towards my planning. Everyone gave their honest feedback respectfully and allowed for me to ask questions. I took this as an opportunity to verbally illustrate and then see how others reacted and viewed my script/film plans.

     I wanted to make sure I walked away from this first group meeting with additional knowledge. Taking away points was the key part for me. The four other peers in my group all had fairly good planning outlines and script ideas. I felt that the storyboarding they put time and effort into did'nt truly appeal to me. I think for my partner and I it is much more important to visualize and bring our shots to life through filming practice, than drawing them out. However, we still did complete 12 shots for the story board and brought our ideas to life somewhat. The group discussed importance of different varying shots and keeping the character development simple but not lacking in effort. It's almost like you don't want to give the audience too much, but also make sure they have some background. We took the 2+2 idea from the Ted Ted we viewed in class and discussed it too. That does go along with character development. I think taking time to not just spoon feed information, but instead allow for connection can bring a fantastic  film opening for us.

With this group meeting has come the excitement for production and I am honestly really looking forward to being able to get into the filming process!

ITS DONE!! Film Opening

-
 Here it is. My blogging has been terrible. I haven't done great at expressing what has truly been going on and my planning behind my work. I lacked consistency and didnt bring much of what was being looked for. I feel that I learned much more than imagined but just simply couldn't put it into the blogs. Id even go far enough to say I retained more than some people who could write and write without stopping. Unfortunately I couldn't.  Putting my words out and saying what ive done was one thing I definitely struggled with. I mean I can express myself but as far as this project went, I was more focused on the product than telling what went behind it. I looked into editing technique, good shot angles for my CCR, and much more. At the end of the day I didnt bring my effort to the blogs and thats something that needed to be different. I really do like the result of the film opening project. I think it's what is being looked for and it represents the social group of my horror...

Critical Reflection

 Here is my Critical reflection #1. I put a lot of love, sweat, and tears into this and I really do hope it is successful. I used many camera angles and long hours of editing on a production app called Cap Cut. I purchased the Pro version for better quality and easier transition but it really didnt help that much. HUH..? maybe some apps just aren't worth the money for a premium version. Anyways enjoy this podcast discussion on the production and social group for the film opening "Black Out"!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5qWDCQY6ZA&t=4s

Reflection

  After a lot of effort, Im finally wrapping up this project. I haven't done these blogs well at all . This project has been both fun aswell as stressful. One key takeaway I have from this whole profolio project is being able to always make changes and I guess be adaptable when you face struggles or hard problems. Unfortunately alot happened and I wasn't able to commit to my blogs at certain points in time. Others I just didnt give great effort and when I did they turned out really good. It's like anything in life, you will see your results based off the effort you put in.  On one of our really important filming days an actor(my close friend tho) Rui, couldn't come what so ever. In response, my partner and I quickly somewhat changed the storyline. I didnt like this much but you gotta do what you gotta do. We decided that Dan, the character im playing and a supporting character mike would wake up and see rui's character missing. This actually set everything pret...
