Critique Reflection

I feel that the composition of our shots is what we had done best. There were some scenes that looked really cool with how we decided to compose them. However I feel that our editing is a close second. The critique from classmates said that our tone and mood fit well with the acting. I feel that we could improve our acting and our costumes. The acting was mediocre it wasn't completely terrible but it could've been better. Costumes from scene to scene were inconsistent and we could've made sure they seemed more consistent than they were. When it comes to strengths I feel that my camera work was what I did best. To improve camera work I think I could find more creative ways to use the camera, making it seem a little bit better. A weakness that we had was not having a complete plan. Most scenes that we shot we didn't plan out a location for so I feel if we did this the entire process would've been smoother.

Post Production Blog Post 12/6

Over the past couple weeks I have worked to finish my film and complete the post production stage of the project. During this time I filmed a few remaining scenes, edited everything together, and color graded. With the film now being complete, this is my reflection on the post production process. A Change To Dialogue The biggest thing that happened during the final bits of post production has to do with dialogue. Prior to the filming of the remaining scenes, I took a look at the script for those scenes. After reading through the dialogue, I noticed that even after trying to make it seem more natural, it sounded like a script. Then, I re-watched scenes that were shot during production and their dialogue also sounded awful. At this point I wasn't sure how I could re-write dialogue and have it sound good especially with very limited time. Then, I thought about just removing the dialogue, leaving the film as a "silent film". I went back and re-edited what I had already done,
