Final Reflection

Early in the year, I learned the importance of setting clean In-points and Out-points. You can see that in my first film because i cut some of the speakers off mid-sentence.On my second project, I learned how to ripple delete and overlap. It was a good lesson that would be especially helpful later on down the road. I also learned early on that criticism helps a lot in the development in final drafts. A good example of taking the advice from my peers was in the Cyberbullying video. They viewed our rough draft and gave me feedback on what I needed to change. This became clear when our final draft was different the our original video. I also learned to incorperate music that matches the theme and enhances the mood of the film. Music plays a big part in films. In this class, I have learned a lot about creating videos. I have learned that in order to make the filming prosses easier, you need to learn how to have fun. At first I hated making and editing videos. I found it to be stressfull and annoying. Not until just recently did I work with a group that opened my eyes to the fun of makinig videos. I think it was easier when we made our own story and script. I was able to relate better and enjoy it alot more.I've also learned that veering away from the exact script won't hurt anyone either. Its good to do a little improvisation during filming. It helps you relate better to the story. It also makes it seem more authentic and real. Enjoying the filming prosses isn't a bad thing. The experiences I've had in this class has varied completely. I've hated it, I've loved it, I've also been indifferent about it. I loved working with groups that we chose. it made it alot easier and the videos tended to come out better. I hated following set scripts. i never liked the cyberbullying and values videos. I couldn't related to them nor care about them. I liked making my own original videos.

Murder At SBHS

This video was thought up by Mr. Alex Torres and egged on by all three of the remaining members about 2 classes ago. There is no solid script. Jake and Krystian pretty much just argued and confirmed lines at the filming of. Jake was the dead guy and the camera guy for the autopsy part. Alex was the phenomenal cop, his acting skill are great and should be an actor. Eddie was the anchor of reality for the film and kind of a comic relief. Krystian was the bad guy and mortician and filmed other scenes. We had a great time filming and editing. We hope the audience enjoys our film we think it’s our best one yet!!!
