Self Critique

A.)

1. 8.5

2. It left me thinking that I needed more scenes to illustrate the full idea of the movie.

3. I felt a sense of wonder to figure out her intentions.

4. I felt that the importance of the initial story is how life can be ironic.

5. The theme I got from it at the end was that we all have the choice to voice and act on our own opinions.

B.)

1. I thought the story was a little vague on my first edit, but just a couple of new scenes and I felt an audience could get the gist of it.

2. The scene of the argument was the most effective to me. The ending could have been better realized.

C.)

1. I can honestly say that it does feel complete now that the final edit is done.

2. 8- I feel like some shots are very weak but with stronger scenes it balances out the bad.

3. The elements that were strong were the close-ups on the characters. The weak were the medium shots and their composition.

D.)

1. I understand the camera I just need to work on angle and direction of camera. I also don’t understand the ND filter to the fullest, but I hope to in the future.

2. I feel that more practice with the equipment will get me to the position that I desire to achieve.

Examples of mockumentary

Thought some of the elements in this were pretty funny.

My Edit

I really enjoyed working on my edit. It was very hard to understand the color correction and hopefully in the future i can grasp this tool and use it to its fullest potential. It was also a very hilarious process because i was working besides Yubu and we would enter music on certain parts and we felt the cheesiness rise from the ashes. Nonetheless it was still a learning process.

Lighting

Team Cinema decided to go up to the studio on Friday to shoot our lighting sequence. We chose a random citizen of the school to pose for us and she was very patient. I say this because each time we thought of a new shot someone else thought of one inspired and based off the previous. I feel we captured some really nice shots and really got experimental with the lights. I, along with the rest of the group, had a really fun time shooting our model.

On Location

So, when team cinema went on location we had a very productive day. When we were there we set up with no problem. It was a very nice day on Saturday and we got out pretty early. It went smoothly because everyone chose which piece of location they wanted to take their shots so it was no butting heads with that. I loved the shots i got downtown. We then moved to our second location which was on the inside. We all remembered to change the white balance on the camera and then soon realized that we didn't do the same on the location outside. We were very disappointed and it was dark outside so we couldn't reshoot that day. The film came out a blue tint because we had the white balance on fluorescent. A careless mistake, made our footage not as nice! :( Although true, it was an overall nice experience, plus we went back and shot.
