My name is David and currently i have no idea what to do with my life after my high school life ends, I took this class to possibly open up any more career paths i'm interested in. My favorite movie has to be the new Bohemian Rhapsody movie coming out, even though it hasn't come out yet and i'm calling it my favorite movie might sound a little childish, this summer introduced me to one specific genre of music; rock and roll. (I'm probably listening to Led Zeppelin right now) Since then I've always liked the idea of legend Freddie Mercury getting his own movie. Maybe I can possibly mix my favorite music genre and Film Making into a job?

Who knows at this point.

Q: Describe the process of creating your one-shot and multi-shot films... How did you work as a group to develop what shots should be taken? How are you approaching the editing process? What have been some successes and hurdles in these first projects? How do you feel your views on film have changed now that you've had a taste of the work involved?

A: The process of creating my one shot story was pretty critical since it was our first project within the class. When it came to teamwork we were all sophisticated and we didn't have any big arguments, I think the only argument we had was what our plot should be when we first started. The Multi-Shot Story definitely had our minds thinking more than the One Shot because we had to move the camera positioning and we were trying to make it as professional as possible.

When it comes to editing, its very difficult to make the exchange from Sony Vegas to Adobe After Effects because i use Vegas as a kind of reference when it comes to finding out specific commands in the software and it usually ends up making a mistake or making the problem even worse.

Q: Reflect on the process of creating your TV Show Pilot: 1) Provide a logline (plot in a single sentence) for your original CJ6: Screenplay. 2) Connect what you designed for CJ7: costume(s) to the story you created - why did you design what you designed based on the story? 3) Tell, too, about the TV Show Pilot you filmed and edited with your group... 3a) what was it like to work with a script and 3b) what types of shot(s) do you feel brought the show to life most?

A: The process of creating the TV Show Pilot was very different from the other people in my group since when they created the script i wasn't at school....which meant i had to learn the lines DURING THE FILMING PROCESS. Since it was scripted I decided to look at the main points in my lines and revise/make it up as I go.

My time at the video Productions class was very fulfilling, I met people I never thought i was gonna become friends with and at the same time I learned how to use Adobe After effects.

Q: 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? Also, which is your least favorite shot/camera move and why? What has learning about all these shots/moves taught you about cinematography?

A:My favorite camera shots out of the ones I've used so far have to be the basic ones; pan, tilt, zoom in and zoom out. In my opinion there the most essential and easy-going edits you can make to your video so it has more flavor than a raw video file. But while those are my favorite camera movements my least favorite have to be the more detailed camera shots like medium shots and 3/4 shots. they only annoy me because of the fact that they're harder to do than the original ones I listed, making the video editing process more complicated.

Q: 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.

A: The ups and downs of film making are very complicated at times when certain problems arise (like in the capturing, editing or acting stages of the movie). I plan to grow in the second quarter of the class by actually maintaining my grades to an understandable level and trying to improve my editing skills on Adobe After Effects, the reason why is because of my one barrier when i'm editing. The first barrier is my inexperience of Adobe After Effects, the main reason why im terrible at editing on AAE is the fact that i use Sony Vegas on a regular basis and most of the shortcuts and techniques are different. making my editing seem more easy going and laid back.

Q: Describe your experience shooting this project in the film studio with the added lighting elements. How do you feel the studio time affected your final product quality? 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.

A: The filming became somewhat more unique since we had creative freedom over changing the background colors or adding/taking away light sources for distinctive effects. The studio time didn't really affect out quality of our video at all, in fact it just made us work quickly since we had a deadline. We stuck with our original script and decided to have shots in our film that make it feel more quiet since the main place we filmed at was the library. All I'm hoping for is that my classmates can hear the audio clearly.

Q: 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. What do you remember from the film itself (text, lighting, sound, set-up) that you believe made it truly effective? 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?

A: I remember a time when i saw the most suspense in a movie, the movie was the original Halloween and the main reason why I thought it was suspenseful was the fact that i was very young when I watched the film (maybe 8 or 9) and so my imagination didn't help thinking about Michael Myers. The movie featured a lot of edges or add-ons that blended well with the cinematography, like the chilling soundtrack that heightened the scare factor, or the cautious placements of the camera to get the most jump scares out of the movie. Even though i'm still a novice film maker, I think my videos portray a sense of interesting story telling (even though i still need to work on it) i'm still improving everyday.
