 Process:

    So far my film is doing good, I have at least 75% of my clips done reordered and put into Premiere Pro. Due to the Winter weather I'm deciding to record all of my clips inside just different parts of my house. I'm currently learning more opacity techniques in Premiere, as well as advanced color correction, but probably not meant for this project. I still have maybe 5+ more shots to film and to revise a script a long the way. I'm just waiting to have the time to record it while the house is quiet since my parents are going to be gone for the weekend.

MP2 Presentation Reflections

 Peer Presentation Reflections:

Sean Hopkins:

    Sean's film had a lot of different composition, especially at the proper timing of the film, something my film did not have a lot of.

For example, this shot here was in my own opinion perfect representation of a over the shoulder shot. It shows the subject, objective, and a viewpoint of the story. There's a lot to look at so it kind of centers the actor and car with the diagonal lines and how clustered it is everywhere except the car and actor, it stands out.

Another great scene was the time-lapse of their friendship slowly growing. The panoramic transitions and shots were extremely strong here. It almost makes the sequences have a cinematic touch in a way which is something I'm trying to master Doing a First Person short film, is something I'm probably not going to be doing for the rest of class, to give my future films a flare in camera shots like Sean's perfectly represents. 

Enzo Oxenreider:

    Enzo showed amazing emotions in her film, since it was based off of tragedy their acting was on point. Not a lot of people are comfortable being in front of the camera, especially oneself they're usually too worried about insecurities or messing up, which is not the case for them. (Film was not provided in blog)

Another huge interesting fact was their production work ethic. They stated that they started backwards rather than forwards on her film. Making her process a lot easier to conclude with recording, mostly because it was outside. It interested me to record the outside shots first due to the cold weather rather than last.

Corey McCabe:

    Similar to my idea, of t he everyday life, Corey represents his film completely different than mine. Which is interesting to see different peoples opinions and perspectives on the same subject.

Corey's camera angles, and shots were also well done. In this shot to the left it has a good representation of formal balance, and rules of third. He also entitled a lot of emotion into his characters, especially with wearing the monkey mask, emotions with gestures are hard for some people to do. Also something unique that no one else in the class did was a cliff hanger for Noah's film, as a part two sort of ideal. It really inspired me to want to work with other classmates in the class for my and their films. He also added comedy into a "serious" situation of how boring life is which was really good script writing that he planned for. Also the slow motion jumping shot had a warm feel to the film like it was progressing. (The video was unavailable)

Pre Production Blog Post 1/9

Monday -  Personal Editing

Thursday -  Personal Editing

Friday -  Story Board

This is a quick sketch of the the story board with the major events that's happening in the film. There will be no provided script due to the fact that there's going to be little to no dialogue, like my previous film. I've also thought about the thought process on where and when the shots are going to be shot, (ex. backyard, local park.) This will also be recorded with some costumes/extra props.

 Intention Definition & Exploration of Ideas:

    Intention: A thing intended; an aim or plan.

    My film was purposely meant to try to show the repetitive part of time/life. It's to show that everyday is gradually almost the same with very little changes or differences. I felt like that's a lot of adults or even some children experience a life that they do not enjoy or prefer something much greater. This film was suppose to represent that, to show that life can be extremely boring at some points or times. It's something everyone experiences in their life, that making a choice can have consequences or benefits to your ticking away time. Time is something that not only does every person have but every living thing holds. It really spoke out to me differently than the other subjects of media and art design.
