MP 2 Reflections

Now that we have finally completed presentations on the work completed over the second marking period, I am able to look over the work that everyone has created and determine what I can take away from it.

Sean's Work

Since Sean mainly likes to focus on writing, it was refreshing to watch a film that he made. While he had originally planned out his production to be more detailed, he had ended up not following his plan as much. Despite not following his plan, he still managed to create an engaging film. His story was interesting and was created without any spoken dialogue. Sean's photography was also nice to look at and I really enjoyed his use of color within some of his images.

Kristina's Work

Along with a few examples of photography, Kristina showed off two different films that she had produced. The first of which was a documentary style film about her friend Maya and her struggles with Leukemia and the second was a vlog style video about cooking with her friend John. The documentary was great, with nice interviews and good production quality. The story was engaging and is what brought the whole film together. Her vlog was fun to watch and her editing added a lot of comedic moments to it.

Caden's Work

The music video that Caden edited during the second marking period was very enjoyable to watch. I typically do not watch music videos but I did enjoy this music video. The style of editing was very engaging to watch and I particularly liked his insane use of colors throughout the entire video. After seeing what else Caden can do other than the vlog he created last marking period, I am excited to see what else he does.

Sofia's Work

Sofia has continued to do the same type of work that she had been doing since the first marking period. She created two videos as well as continued to do photography for this marking period. Her first film was a music video. The video was very well put together. It included various different effects that are typical for music videos and I really enjoyed her use of multiple different aspect ratios. Her second video was a promotional video for a brand. This video was intriguing with its quick editing and peaks my interest to learn more about the brand.

Alaina's Work

Alaina created a simple digital scene of a bathroom. She created a model of a bathtub, mirror, and sink that all share a similar visual look. I really enjoyed the simplicity of her scene. With the ability to create whatever you would want through digital modeling, it might seem weird to create something as simple as a bathroom. However, by making a simple scene Alaina managed to create something interesting because it was simple.

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
