Genre Selection

Out of all the genres we learned about through the presentations during class, the two genres that stuck with me the best were the genres of Comedy and Action. The reasons why these two stuck with me the most would be that with Comedy, the creator gets to make not only the audience laugh but themselves as well and Action allows the creator to express the intensity of a scene in ways that make it feel unreal in comparison to real life. As for which genre I would be interested in filming a short for, I would probably lean more towards Action. My reason why would be that while I do enjoy both, Comedy is a difficult skill to master. The genre that I prefer overall however, I would say would be Comedy. I'm most likely drawn to Comedy the most as it's the one genre that most people can agree is enjoyable since most people do enjoy a good laugh. Comedy always seems to make me and others feel happy as if the humor is good then it makes the audience laugh and sometimes even, the humor can be so terrible that it makes you laugh. I think this choice would say that I enjoy making both myself and people around me laugh. There is no directors or writers in particular that I would try to emulate as personally I don't follow the works of any particular person and also that each person has their own sense of humor, making each person's take completely unique.

Critique Reflection

(Submitted on 11/8/18 since I was sick) For our recreation of the scene from High School Musical, I felt that our process of recreating what was present in the actual scene was one of the better things we did for our project. When comparing our scene to the original, I feel that our shots were lined up very closely to what was originally present. As for what I feel I need to improve on, the main thing would be preparation. There were many points that we should've been more prepared which can be seen in the final film. Since we weren't prepared, some of our shots weren't close to what was seen in the original and some audio issues were present that could've been avoided if we had taken time to prepare before shooting. My strengths for this assignment would probably be my knowledge of the scene and trying to plan by day for what we needed to do. The weakness that I had was not being able manage my group as well as I felt I could. This prevented us from getting work d

End of MP 1 Blog Post

After now reaching the end of the first marking period of the 2019-2020 school year, I am able to reflect back upon the work that I have completed so far. Intention Definition & Exploration Of Ideas Having no prior experience in any particular area of film, I set out to choose a topic to focus on that would allow me to help narrow down my focus. The area I chose to focus on was documentary and mockumentary styled film making. I made this choice with the intention to be able to explore both formal and less formal ideas while also not relying on having to create an entire original idea by myself. The topic of my film (The Game) was chosen because of my familiarity and pre-existing personal opinions about it. Planning Planning an entire production entirely by myself was a change of pace in comparison to how I worked in previous years. I began the planning process by typing out all of my thoughts in order to help establish what I am trying to do. Once I developed an idea for th
