I'm Fani just a normal teenage girl, in her last year of high school,I'm 18 years old and love traveling with family and friends.My biggest dream is to travel with my best friend and becoming a you tube star.I'm hoping that i learn a lot of easy or hard ways to film professional videos. One of my favorite movies are, The lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, as well The Giver, and my favorite show of all time is Supernatural. Those movies, and shows are very dark not so much in the light side but that what I like about them and as well they all show a story from begging to end, or in between the story,there is always a flash back on what happened in the past to that person.

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?

In my group we gave each other different ideas, and then we all agreed to one thing, then from there we all started recording. The editing process I'm having a ;little trouble on doing it but i'm getting there. The hard part was that I had no idea on how to edit and the easy part would have to be that we just had to take it from one shot and that's it. My view in all of this filming and editing is a really hard work and you have to really put in some brain into everything, on how you edit to how you film, I always thought it was easy but now knowing how it is and how everything works its a real job and I would like to learn more about this whole filming thing.

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?

One of my Favorites is Low-Angle Shot for the reason that the people or actors look funny and they be showing that double chin pride, another one that is my absolute favorite would have to be Tracking Shot/ Dolly Shot / Trucking Shot for the reason that how you can move the location with out it looking super bad or jumpy is amazing. My least favorite would have to be the extreme close-up because like we are not attractive at all so like it makes us look bad in a way but at the same time makes the story interesting. What I have learned from all this stuff is everything and how the movement of the camera really makes a big difference.

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?

Well we did have a good story and a good act but the problem was that there was not a lot of time and that we could have done better if we had a little more time and we didn't joke around as much, But what I think that brought the whole story together and what I liked about are story well are TV show was that film when we went out side, those brought more action and stuff to all of the story.

There have been plenty of lists about the mistakes that amateur filmmakers make on set. But what about the more insidious mistakes, the psychological ones?

Our friend Simon Cade, who has been knocking it out of the park with his educational videos lately, recently shared another video that covers this very topic. But before we get to that, let's talk briefly about why psychology is important within the context of filmmaking.

Like most endeavors in life, particularly the artistic ones, success in filmmaking is tied closely with whether or not we're able to conquer our fears and doubts. It may sound corny and trite, but when it comes to creating work that we are proud of on a consistent basis, more often than not, we are our own worst enemies.

So here's Simon Cade with 5 mistakes that he's been making lately, most of them psychological, and what he's doing to overcome them:

Here's the list of psychological mistakes mentioned in the video:

1) Too much typing: Getting off of the computer and working with your hands as much as possible can really benefit your creative process.

2) Caring too much about what's popular: It's important to create things that you care about, rather than give in to fads.

3) Not making enough narrative content: Story is everything. Make sure you're making it a priority.

4) Worrying about failure: Failure is inevitable, but if you focus too much on it, the fear will keep you from creating.

5) Practice humility: Simon shares a quote by Ze Frank: "Let me be not so vain to think that I'm the sole author of my victories and a victim of my defeats."

The mistake that resonates with me the most from Simon's list is #4, or being crippled by the fear of failure. It's something that I'm pretty sure most of us have dealt with to some extent. We start thinking about a new project, and we imagine how great it's going to be when it's finished. And then we think about what it takes to make that vision come to fruition. And we worry that the project won't live up to our expectations, that we're not experienced or talented enough to make it great, that we don't have access to the proper budget, equipment, or crew. We worry so much about these things that we end up doing very little, or worse, nothing at all.

Like many of the psychological problems that we encounter throughout our lives — and I know I'm being incredibly broad here — the solution lies in learning to find joy in the process and not getting wrapped up in the desired result. This is something that I intend to write about in-depth at some point soon, but suffice it to say for the purpose of this article, if you enjoy filmmaking as a process, including all of its odd little sub-processes and intricacies, then nothing you make will have been a waste of time.

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.

WHat I have learned about this class is alot of stuff actually I used to not know how to cut a video or how to make it fade to another video. I have grown up so much with film making the one big problem or thing I have to work more though is how to film sense I have been the actor and not the film and I will like to learn how to start doing that so I know what angles I should practice more and stuff like that sense I wanna be a You tuber this is helping me a lot with knowing how to blog and edit all my videos, I would love to start learning about the lighting and how much of a big affect the lighting has on a video, But this class has helped me in so many ways and has shown me that I never stop leaning.

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.

We actually need more work with the studio because well the angle was yet again not that good as well as how we were sitting, the lighting in the back was not a good point from where we were filming and I think we also should of done close ups, but it actually looks really nice in are film in the end it kinda looks like a documentary in a way.The montage part of are film was a really good idea sense it adds to are story and in a way behind the whats happening in the story from are point of we during the time.For are montage we just added 3 films, one of them was chips taken out of the backpack, next was the actor opening the chips then the last on was the actor taking one one the chips out the back representing that the actor is gonna eat it. I just want the audience to know what was happening during the time and kinda feel that they were there when the actors became friends and kinda have the flash back as well.

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?

The most movie that has had me in suspense would be the pyramid. its a horror film and that would be the time where the actors or the people of the movie are about to go out like escape from the pyramid but then the monster who keeps them in there and kills them for their hearts attacks one one the actors and he ends up dying as well when the girl is so close to the opening door and then it shows us in the end slowly how a little kid is about to help her out but then the monster is right behind the kid and jumps on him and that the last of it. The film is very dark and doesn't show a lot of light.Honestly I would make a film almost the same as the pyramid but I would end up wanting someone alive in the end.

I really want to appreciate and recognize all the hard work Fani does, and how fantastic she is during all the stress during filming. I would say she is the best film director.. and also very good at editing videos and making them way better than I ever could. She is so talented and I am grateful to film with her.
