Post #1

    After completing the Music Research Project, the class has transitioned to the Music Opening and Blogging project. This project is highly intriguing and consist of a two minute fictional film opening, as well as several blog post's weekly, for a nine week basis. To the opposite of what I thought, I am really looking forward to completing this. I feel like the project will allow me to use my creativity and unique side of thinking. As far as processing goes, this portfolio allows for a different way of laying out and explaining what you want to do. Participating and expressing my feelings through my blogs.

     For this upcoming project, I am looking forward to character development, as well as story building. I have yet to select or determine if I am working solo or with a partner but I do have several ideas. I have multiple thoughts in my head and think it will be interesting to see what the ending product becomes. My first film idea was to open with a teen party scene that includes many nicely shot clips with high quality editing. The opening would be well structured and a more cinematically focused piece. Another thought is a horror film opening. The opening would have a drawn out script as well as a complex storyline that brings the fear factor.

    The blog portion of the film opening assignment would be the most enjoyable portion to me. I feel like expressing my emotions and way of thinking while completing this will be exciting. I would like to be able to successfully lay out a plan and discuss that plan during the duration of the project. Since this project has a long length of time before its due date, it is essential to highlight the key elements and make sure everything is done to my best ability.

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...
