 My Commercial:


This is my group's and my very first major project. I feel as if this project gave us the opportunity to try and test out what we have learned so far. This project is giving us the chance to grow and get better. Due to this project, we have the ability to perfect what we believe are our weak areas. Without having to do this project, I would not have been able to realize what I need to work on and get better at. I am very proud of my first production due to the fact that it shows all the room I have to grow. This project shows just how much potential I have and all that I was capable of before developing any new skills. Overall, this project was a very good learning experience. In this process, I've learned the best ways or techniques to do specific things. When I say specific things, I mean camera angles, movements, and things of that nature. Through this experience, I've learned the dos and don'ts when it comes to filming and editing. This lesson will only benefit me in the long run when I need to do something else that involves filming and editing. Looking back and rewatching the project now, I see many aspects that could have been improved. The visuals, for instance, are something within the project that I could have done or presented better. The visuals came out looking mediocre. With some more practice on editing or possibly with more major projects, this issue can be solved. One aspect of that project that I admire is my ability to incorporate movement and camera angles within scenes. This project gave me the chance to work on both things I struggle with as well as things I am confident about. This was not only a learning experience, but an exciting and memorable one as well. I say this because this is the first time I will be attempting to do anything even remotely close to this.

How to make a short film

Image
  "Write what you have the resources for" is a powerful adage to follow when creating plots and screenplays. We can only write with what we have we are limited in what we can do due to the lack of cameras and microphones for filming. I know it takes time to edit and pace a movie since you only have 5 minutes, you have to be careful about how much to photograph and how much to cut. Overshooting is the best option, but you need to make sure the plot     doesn't need to be fully fleshed out to make sense. There needs to be     some balance, every scene needs to contribute something towards the ending, there's no room for fill-in-the-blanks. Also, the movie isn't very predictable, but it could use a Groundhog Day-type plot, which makes this difficult. While adhering to the theme of the story, there are bound to be     scenes that the audience doesn't expect. Theme determines the plot and must be understood by the audience. You also need to maintain tone ac...

Intro Blog: The Nerves

Image
Hello, it's me again. I prepared myself mentally  for this particular project. I was completely nervous about this project before, but now I think I'm ready. I'm a little worried, but overall I'm calm. I'm worried that my job will be unstable, that something will go wrong when I shoot, that the image will be problematic. I may have some questions, but overall I'm looking forward to filming and getting back on set. I was nervous before because I had no experience creating videos like this. Now that I'm working alone, I'm even more nervous. This time, no one gave me constructive criticism or stood out. After talking about it and learning more about it, I felt calmer and less nervous. Because I knew I couldn't get lost. Instead, I wanted to be prepared for whatever was to come. After subsequent projects I gained some experience that I will definitely use for this project. I learned how to properly edit, how to make camera angles and movements look beaut...

Group Blog: Going Solo

Image
I’m back and ready for something new. I decided to switch it up and this time I chose to work alone. I have tried to work with others before and although it wasn’t bad I feel as if I want to go at my own paste. Something I didn’t enjoy with working with someone else was having to depend on them. I rather be working independently and that way I know I’m doing the best I can do. Working by myself can benefit me in many ways, working alone allows me to take full control and make decisions without relying on others. I can develop a strong sense of self-discipline when working independently, as I’ll need to stay focused and motivated. I have the freedom to set your my own schedule and work at my own pace, which can be a big advantage. Working alone gives me the space to explore my own ideas and think outside the box without any external influences. Achieving tasks and reaching goals on my own can boost my self-esteem and confidence in my abilities. Working independently allows me to learn n...
