I am a creative person with dreams to be a better person and become a person that people can be inspired and motivated by. For now, I am just a regular student, but soon in the future I will choose to be someone who can help others get through hard times in their life. My reason for being in this class is to help me learn teamwork and creativity more. My favorite movie of all time is between Space Jam or Back to The Future Part 2 because I grew up watching both when I was young and to this day I still find it enjoyable.

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?

My process of creating films is to finish them ASAP, but to also focus on minor details to improve the overall feeling of the film. As a group, pretty much everyone agreed with everyone, it didn't matter where the shots were we just had to finish before time was up. When I was first learning editing with this class's editing software, i was lost and confused all over. And I still am, but I've improved significantly overtime.Our successes were agreeing with each other without an argument about where we filmed. The biggest hurdle though, was getting it done right. We would often be wasting time and doing something that isn't productive, but it all worked out in the end. After everything was finished and edited, I think it came out alright. No errors whatsoever, just nothing special is all.

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?

My favorite shot is definitely the Medium Shot. It's a simple shot with a lot of possibilities and a lot of movies use them which is probably why it's my go to shot to start with. My least favorite shot is the Oblique Shot because I can't see myself using it ever in a project. There are some movies I've enjoyed that has used that shot, but I'm not a professional Director nor am I good with cameras therefore I can't use it. Learning all these shots has taught me better about planning the actions for films, and to brainstorm ideas.

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?

The process of my TV Show Pilot is pretty straight forward, it begins with me writing a drafted skit, then making an updated version with more details like the character's style of clothing and how they are supposed to look. Even though I didn't know the script was to be used as a film, mine still got selected and picked as the best of the group. The plot of the Pilot would start as a boy named Ariel and he meets a girl in his class, she then gets pushed and drops her books and rushes to get to class. Ariel then has to find the girl, but is mistaken as a bully to a kid who bumped into him. The principal then punishes Ariel. We decided on how the shots would be taken and even though it didn't come out the way I wanted it to, it still worked well.

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.

When it comes to making films, two of my biggest psychological barriers are worrying about failure and practicing humility. I worry about failure a lot because I try to ensure that the film is edited and complete with details and entertainment, a solution I can try is to always do my best. For humility, I try to avoid any cringe moments, that way I avoid getting embarrassed by the class, my way of solving this is by trimming and choosing the right footage. My biggest success this year was writing and editing my 2nd Basketball video because it was really well done and the class enjoyed it.

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.

My experience shooting the project was fun overall. The cameras looked a lot better inside the studio because it made it look like a talk show like The Eric Andre Show (based on background, not the show itself). At the moment, I am not finished with the project but I hope it fits with the film perfectly. The montage can be an effect like superimposition to transition the scenes. I chose to cut the scenes that didn't make sense for me to include, and a lot of bloopers too.

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 suspenseful experience I've ever had in a movie was during Avengers: Infinity War. I was already nervous about which characters would die, but everything in the film was unexpected. Obviously most of them will come back, but it was really intense. The most intense moment was when Thanos fought the Avengers and Gaurdians on Titan. The fight was going well until Starlord hit Thanos when he was captured and gave him the advantage. Thanos then defeats all the heroes except Iron Man, who tries to put up a fight. I was biting my thumb when Thanos stabbed Iron Man, I thought he was going to die. The film was very suspenseful because I really wanted to know the fates of all the heroes. Me being a film maker, the movie was well made and had the craziest ending. I think the most effective way to make the audience react, is to make the unexpected happen. To do something that the audience will not see coming and in the most insane as possible.
