I am a very creative and precise person. I joined this class because I love filming, editing, animating, and drawing. So far I find this class really cool. I am glad i joined it because now i am gaining more knowledge from something i like unlike my other periods. What I am seeking from this class is to learn a lot of new things while also having fun doing it. A show that inspires me to film more is intense movies like batman.

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?

When making the one-shot and multi-shot films we had to come to an agreement on what we were going to record. When we decided what we were going to record, we mad a plan(for the multi-shot film) of what angles and movement we were going to record. We also had to tell the actors what they had to do to make it look good. I approach the editing process by first writing down the numbers of the clips that are going to be used to edit. Then I edit each clip one by one and I line each piece of footage in the correct order. At the end I will usually put a piece of audio such as music or sound effects. When I first started using the Adobe Editing Software I first had trouble figuring simple things out, (like moving all the clips at the same time) but I managed to learn many things I didn't know about. At first I thought film making was really easy, but it does take a lot of work and effort to make it look good. I still enjoy film making,(knowing its kind of hard) and I know if i keep doing it, it will get easier to do everything.

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 was the close up shot. It is my favorite because it is usually one of the funniest shots. My least favorite shot was the over head shot. I did not like it because it was very uncomfortable to film and at first we were very confused where we were going to attempt this shot. Learning about all these shots taught me a lot about cinematography. I had no idea that there are different names for shots and how important they are in a good film.

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?

Our TV show pilot was based off a group of friends that mess around and its not suppose to make sense at times.
Something I drew as a costume was based off my character. I drew him very similar to me Our film was a group of friends that dine and dash without paying. They get chased my the manager. Working with a script was much easier than having to come up with lines right off the top of your head, it was a good experience and kinda make you feel the rush actors feel, when you have to memorize your lines quickly.
The fast motion shot is one of my favorites because it looks pretty funny and it was a big part of our film.

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.

I plan to take more notes and listen more to continue to learn more about film making. A psychological Barrier that I have had is to learn how to film better. I also need to edit better. I would try harder if it wasn't for school. if I make a film myself, I try was harder. The biggest success was the TV poilet. I actually found it pretty funny. It was really funny trying to filming film it too. We had to retake shots many times til we got them semi good.

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.

When shooting the project it was very difficult. If we had more time, we would've made it better. It affected us by filming worse and not having time to correct it. The montage was a lot easier. It was also easier to edit. I used more sound effects in the montage. I hope I can make the best of the footage used for the Flash Forward.
