Reflect on the process of developing a short film from brainstorming, to screenplay writing, to shooting & editing.
What was more fun to create... the story, the scenes, the montage, something else? Why? If you struggled with a part of the creative process, what was it and how did you overcome it? How do you feel about your learning over this 4 week journey creating Montage Mania?

This video, for me was all about time management, my weakness. I did not manage my time as well as I should have. As for how my video turned out over all, it was alright. Definitely not my best work, but then again I am still learning. It was, however, fun to write, film, and edit.

I really enjoyed creating the screenplay for my montage mania because I got to experiment with a real script. The most difficult thing for me was creating the montage and getting the right angles to make sure it looked good. Overall I feel pretty good about the work I've done over the last four weeks.

This project for me was definitely more difficult than the ones we have done in class in the past. I noticed with this project that time management was extremely important. This project took much longer than expected, and I could have definitely managed my time more sufficiently.

My favorite part of the project was editing. What I struggled with doing in the project is creating different shots because of the time of day but overcome it by spending more than 1 day filming. Learning over these 4 weeks has been perfect for me.

The project was very fun overall. It was amusing learning about the 180 degree rule because when I watched films before, I never noticed that something like this was going on. I had fun working on the project but I had trouble with time management. My project turned out to be pretty good and I liked it.

It was honestly so much fun creating it and I enjoyed it very much. Even though it took quite a while, that is what made it so enjoying and rewarding to see the end result. I feel like it made me so much more creative and opened my eyes to things I never noticed before. For example, it taught me how to position the cameras to make it look better which made me creative because it made me think out of the box and come up with alternatives that made the video better.

My biggest problem was that I did not due well with my time management. My favorite part of doing this project was being able to write the screenplay which was fun, once I got an idea into my head. The video was a little harder to film because I had to voice over the character's and try to use stock footage for the montage. Overall the video was good, but it could have been better.

Overall, creating "Montage Mania" was an enjoyable experience for me. I had the most fun writing my screenplay because I really had a chance to be creative and to create a whole new imaginary world. I know I could've done better on the video itself, though. I wish I had put more thought into the settings to make filming easier to accomplish at home.

I had a great time editing more than I did acting. Though my acting was great. Right? Well it doesn't matter. If I had better equipment I would have had a better product but what happened, happened. I had a good Wednesday.

I had a lot of worry about this project, and felt really anxious about the screen play and all that jazz, but once it came down to grabbing a camera and editing the video I had a lot of fun. Especially with the voice overs, that's my favorite part of mine.

Overall, this project was hard for me in like maybe more of a production way. I feel like it isnt my best work, but I think I still got the story across. I still enjoyed writing the screen play and it was so fun to write. I didnt truly realize it has been 4 weeks, but I am glad we got more time because I was scared to turn in late. Overall, still fun :)

This project has been the most difficult project we done, in my opinion . Time management was more of an issue this time around but learning about the different types of montages was really interesting.

The fun part was when I did the recording because me and my brother were messing up a lot and it was funny.

I had a-lot of fun filming my project because i did it with my sister and had a lot of fun during the funny parts. Though editing was very hard, it took a-lot longer then I anticipated. Also the time management portion of making a project was very difficult, with work, other classes, family, and college stuff it's been hard finding time to complete the project. Though I just woke up extra early to film all the shots with my sister which helped a lot, and stayed up late editing. Overall it was a very fun lesson in film and I had a great time making my film :)

I do think that this project was a difficult one for me to do because both I didn't plan it out properly and I myself still wasn't confident in making a montage video so the video that I made ended up not looking as I wanted to look as I did. Still it was fun to try yo get it done with 3 of my friends who decided to help me.

I wish I had spent just a little bit more time on my project. I feel it suffered a bit because I didn't spend as much time as I should have on it. I also feel that my montage didn't flow naturally despite it changing at regular intervals.

I think that the part that was the most fun was drawing the frames for the project was the best part.

I had a lot of fun with this project because of how much editing we had to do. It was fun to find different audio clips or stock videos and piece them together and play it back. One thing that I regretted was how late I started the project. I encountered many problems throughout production, and if I had started earlier, I would solve those problems quicker and spend more time on making my video better. If the deadline wasn't extended, I would have had to rush my project.

The process of the project was good i had fun making the montage. It was hard to find stock footage for specific scenes in the script. I learned about continuity editing so i tried to do that and keep the 180 rule. 11/13/2020 01:09:11 pm
I had a lot of fun making my video even though I had to change a lot of my screenplay due to a missing actor. I really struggled figuring out how to make it work but I watched an example video Mr. Hanks put on Google Classroom and was inspired to get creative. I was thinking of giving up but I'm glad I didn't. I felt good learning about montages, continunity, 180 degree rule, etc during these past few weeks. The story and montage of my video was fun to create because due to a missing actor I was able to get more creative with the screenplay.

I really enjoyed editing the videos and watching all the pieces come together. My biggest issue was time management and finding new ways to film things. Overall I learned a lot from the recent project and I am happy that I did it.

I really liked this project because I got to channel my creativity and thoughts into it. I had a lot of ideas for the shots and I really liked working on it. The hardest part for me was the acting because I would keep laughing or getting distracted. I learned a lot more about the different shots and angles and overall it was a good experience. The editing went well too and I took a shot at superimposition too.

I really liked this project it was something new and fun to do, but it was kind of hard to find stock footage for some of the clips i needed, and i could not record.

I was planning to use a game as a montage but it was too hard to do. So then I figured that we can use stock footage so it was pretty easy. It gave lots of new ideas but a struggle was that I couldn't get exactly what I wanted to get from the stock footage.

I have not filmed it yet, but the planning and brainstorming and script writing was all fun. I enjoyed writing the story the most because I have been planning it for months, but had nowhere to put it. Overall I had the most struggle writing the script because I am an improve guy, and structured scripts are hard to write. Overall I learned quite a lot from these four weeks which is pog.

I feel like creating the screenplay was the most fun part because it was interesting trying to come up with ideas of what characters there are and what they are going to say. I struggled with the montage part the most and I overcame it by looking into more what a montage is.I feel like I am getting even better with filming and editing over these 4 weeks. Overall it was fun but also challenging to accomplish my video.

My favorite thing I did for this project was filming. I got many fun moments shared and I don't think i could have done my video with stock footage. I did struggle with the editing process because of timing I had in between shots.

This project in the beginning seemed a little intimidating at first. As I completed the pre-production leading up to actually filming the video it got to be more fun as I kept getting deeper invested into this project. Overall, I think this was the hardest project yet, but was pretty enjoyable along the way.

his really gave me a look into the history of film and how montages and editing styles came to be came to be, it allowed me to change how I view editing and add a bit of flare to future projects, good stuff!

I think I had the most fun I had with this project was filming and coming up with the idea of what to make. I also liked exploring what type of montages I could do.

I haven't finished my video completely yet but I really like to see the process I make from it and the new ideas I can use in future work. Using stock footage also helped me a lot during the making of my video.

I liked creating the screen play because you get to create what happens in the story and what the characters do and were the story begins and ends.I struggled in the screen play because you can do and choose anything that happens in your film so i had to pick what happens and there is a lot to choose from.I over came it by just not over thinking it and going with the flow.I felt good abut learning how to make and create a film from scratch so over all i like the process of creating films.

I really enjoyed this project. I have always loved montage but was never really good at it , but I learned some good tips and tricks to help me in the future. My biggest problem with all of my projects is always my time management. The thing I loved most was the screenplay because I love making scripts.

This was probably the most fun project i have ever done in this class , Overall filming and editing was so exciting . I actually was Filming and editing till 2 hrs before the due date so it was kind of a race for me I guess.

I liked to create the screenplay even though it was hard to start. I felt like it was an actual film instead of a just a students wevideo. I also got to use stock footage to see a variety of meanings when moved in a different order, which I thought was interesting. I also liked learning about the history of film with the people who discovered continuity editing and stuff.

This was a fun project to film just because it is basically my everyday with my brother and we both just laughed. I think that with project I kind of struggled with getting ideas out and so it made it a little harder on me, so next time will work harder on the preproduction. Overall think I learned a lot and I think a struggled pulling things apart and knowing the difference between everything.

This is the only project in this class I can say I didn't really like because I have to draw the scenes and I can't draw. And not only can I not draw but I have to find a way to make angles on the paper.

This unit was really fun and I feel like I learned a lot. I had a bit of difficulty coming up with a story for my screen play but had a lot of fun with the montage. I am not 100% happy with my video but I did my best. Using superimposition in my montage was a lot of fun and I will definitely us it again.

Since I'm learning more about different shots Its more fun to experiment my editing and recording when I'm making my videos. My montage mania video was pretty fun to make because I experimented more and just had fun with the video all together.

I loved doing the screenplay because i got to choose what happened next. I loved everything about it, making up the characters names, i would've liked to make up their backstory but i wanted to keep it short, and i liked describing their face expressions, actions, and the setting. The only thing that i struggled with at first was the the formatting but once i learned how to do it i was okay.

This project was definitely one of the harder ones to me, I'm not completely done with it yet, but I like coming up with new ideas during the making of it and seeing how the end result comes out to be. Stock footage has definitely helped a lot with created videos.

Well I have not finished yet I have been unmotivated but that’s ok! I’m working on it and it will be really good in the end. I think the hardest part will be to edit it because I’m filming on my phone and we have to edit I we video.
