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?

for the one shot story we had to come up with an idea because we only had two people and one had to set up the camera and press record so we had Cody fall and then i came and helped him up because the camera was already set. so for the multi shot story we needed to continue the story of what happened before and after he fell and what i was doing when he fell. we brainstormed and came up with some ideas of how we could continue the story. for the editing i just need to string the clips we got together to make the story. we have done decent so far but we messed up a few clips and only had two people for the first record day. i definitely have a lot more respect for anyone in the film industry because the advanced films they make must take a ton of work

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?

i liked the 3/4 shot because it gives you a better look of whats happening and i think it just looks really good. i don't like the extreme close ups because it didn't do that much for our film but you could read the label it tought me about how hard filming is and how much of an art it is.

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?


1)"what, no cookie dough!"
2) i designed my outfit based on what i wore on the day that we filmed. i wore this because i thought that it matched the film.
3)
a) it was kinda had to remember the lines for the longer scenes
b)i feel that the mid shots were the best

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.

Film this year has been pretty good, i have had to face a couple of issues but i overcame pretty easily. the two hardest things i have had to deal with is remembering my lines and getting the correct angle for the clip. these are easy to overcome all i need is some practice and more experience which i will get this next half of the class. to do better this next half i will need to give more effort and be more consistent with turning in work. having a big role in our film it was probably was the best experience i've had it felt good to do well and impact our film.

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.

it was a pretty cool experience to shoot in the room because i got to see how lighting can affect how someone looks and how to do it. i think it made our film look a lot more professional. we did a montage on someone growing up i hope it makes the viewer look back on their childhood and think of how they have changed over the years.

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?

i feel the most on edge while watching a film when they do something that i wouldn't do like sneaking into a police station and taking some files or something like that. i think that the lighting plays a big part like if it were to be dark and they had a flashlight it would up the suspense. i think that i am best at comedy and making people laugh its also a lot easier to film because you don't have to be as serious. i like to normally have someone get hurt or do something embarrassing.

Best actor, I feel he was the best actor because he always remembered his lines and always wanted to be the main actor.

Best actor because, you always knew your lines and were able to make the story seem real.
