I seek to be a great Editor in the future. Editing random videos and practicing to use special effects helps me move toward my goals. One of my favorite movies is called "Real Steel", they have amazing actors, great story, awesome effects on the movie, and overall the Plot of the movie was amazing. This movie inspires me because it had a couple of great acting scenes and amazing effects that inspires me to do the same.

Describe the process of creating your one-shot and multi-shot films... The One Shot Story is visualized by one angle, we can see only the angle we are looking at, and for a Multi-Shot, Many different footage is shown in an order so we understand what is going on. How did you work as a group to develop what shots should be taken? Many footage should have been up close, others had to be at a certain angle, up or down, higher or lower. For example, we zoomed in on when Eric Pushed the elevator button, just to show the audience what is happening. How are you approaching the editing process? I am trying to get the hang of Adobe After Effects, after you use the same thing over and over again, you understand how to use it more productively, for example, the text, moving and cutting footage, and making it look well edited. What have been some successes and hurdles in these first projects? I really got the hang of the text button. Making it bigger, smaller, different fonts, and short introductions to the texts. I have also had an easy task with music, adding it and moving it, cutting it at a certain time, etc. How do you feel your views on film have changed now that you've had a taste of the work involved? I already knew how to edit many videos, but I was using a different Editing software, so Adobe After Effects gave me a new challenge. Editing is getting easier the more you work on it.

Consider the shots and camera movements we've defined, shot, and edited. Which is your favorite from those you captured for your commercial and why? My favorite shots were where mark would make a pickup line, and where Mark and Eric played the scene because they were the funniest. Also, which is your least favorite shot/camera move and why? I do not think I have a least favorite shot we used, I liked every shot. What has learning about all these shots/moves taught you about cinematography? People that make movies, work hard and long to make good shots, you need to act perfect, make everything perfect, so you can interest your viewers.

Reflect on the process of creating your TV Show Pilot: Making our TV Show Pilot was not easy, we needed to take certain shots and thinking of how to make the story. 1) Provide a logline (plot in a single sentence) for your original: CJ6: Screenplay. Sam and Gordon both liked video games but certain ones. They tried different kind of video games and they liked it. 2) Connect what you designed for CJ7: costume(s) to the story you created. I created a robot names Atom. He is a boxing robot but i added more features on him such as swords, two more hands, a broken helmet, and boots with thrusters. 3) Tell, too, about the TV Show Pilot you filmed and edited with your group... 3a). I really likes this story because it was funny and creepy at the same time. what was it like to work with a script. It was really hard to follow the script so we tried to change it up a little bit. 3b) what types of shot(s) do you feel brought the show to life most? I think that the reaction shot, point of view shot were most entertaining.

Share your ups and downs of film making on your blog, and how you plan to continue to grow in the second half of the class. Do this by writing about your two biggest psychological barriers when it comes to making films? For each, provide an example of the barrier you encountered this term as well as a solution you plan to initiate in the second term to overcome this barrier. Then finish off the entry by recalling the biggest success or an ah-ha moment that you've had this term. Provide details about what made it a great moment for you and how you felt you grew from the experience.
My ups is that I really like this class and I am mostly impressed by what I can create. My downs are that some of the editing is hard, but with time you can complete it. My second half of the class, I will now know the main features of editing and I will know how to add text, videos, effects, etc. I believe my biggest barriers is when you do not have enough time to make something cool or funny. My other biggest barrier is that sometimes you do not get the results you wanted, but you still go with it. I would say my biggest success is when you edit too much it that it looks too great, especially when you go from one scene to the other. My biggest "ah-ha" moment is when I used to match the music perfectly with the video, it looks great.

Describe your experience shooting this project in the film studio with the added lighting elements. We didn't shoot in the studio, so I don't have anything to say about it. How do you feel the studio time affected your final product quality? Weren't in the film studio. Additionally, how did you approach the montage portion of your film. Describe what you chose to cut together and what effect you hope for it to have on your audience as a part of your "Flash Forward" film. I tried to make a "flashback sound effect" and it seemed to work fine, people could Understand that it's a flashback.

Hitchcock is know as the Master of Suspense. Recall in detail a time when you felt a film had you most on edge--- either scared, excited, distressed, or passionate.I think the most suspense movie I have ever watched was Avengers - Infinity Wars. I felt really on the edge, I was really looking forward for the avengers to defeat the antagonist, but they didn't. What do you remember from the film itself (text, lighting, sound, set-up) that you believe made it truly effective? I remember when Dr. Strange had this thing where he was sorta teleportating in place, then when he woke up he said there was only one chance of defeating the antagonist. Once in a while, there were texts telling us where we were, I think that was effective too. As a film maker yourself, what emotions do you think you'd be best at effecting in your audience and how do you imagine you would go about doing it? I think I would be best at cutting scenes and placing them into slots. Like maybe there are some clips that we don't need, so I cut them out and place the good ones in the movie, I think i would be good at sorting all the clips to make it look like a movie.
