Movie Trailer Project

Background context
For the past month me and a team of 5 have been working on a group project for e-Comm about remaking a trailer that takes place in a school setting. The project was a harder one as it was the first time that we needed the actors to actually talk. The struggle to manage time and to record good footage for the video was evermore present in this project.

Main project gist
The first week was a slow week as we didn't tackle the project early to get more time to edit the final product; however, we are still on schedule and ready to finish the project on time. We did more the second week as we filmed the school scenes. The scenes were more of ok rather than spot on to the trailer. The rest of the week we planned on what the locations would be and when we would film. In the next week we filmed the rest of the footage that we needed to finish the video. The biggest problem with the filming schedule was time to edit. We ended up not having enough time to edit the video entirely but enough time to get a good chunk done.

What I learned
What I learned from the project was that more people can make the filming process easier but also it can give a uneven work to some people. For instance, 4 people in a group requires everyone to put effort in to working on the project; however, if the project is too small for the group, then one of the members is bound to not have enough work to get an equal amount of share of work

End of Year Reflection: Senior Year

  e-Communications has been very fun and an overall great experience that has taught me many skills that being, technical, communication, management, leadership, and collaborative skills.  I learn how to use technology better thanks to e-Comm, how to manage a busy schedule, how to work in a team better, and how to show leadership when needed. Between normal school work, e-Comm, and work, the week can get very busy and learning to manage and prioritize was tough. I know in the future, being able to manage a busy schedule will be a necessity, and I am safe to say that I’m ready for it. My top three project from this year are the commercial, PSA, and music video with the music video being my favorite out of the three. The music video was the quickest as it was at a perfect time for everyone and everyone was available for shooting it, the video is definitely the best video I'm able to put my name on, other than the feature films of course. The vast majority of the feedback given was

Junior Year, Video Entertainment, Semester Uno

Image
This Semester we did 3 projects: Camera Assignment,  Commercial, and A Short Film. The Camera Assignment was focused on hitting six types of shots that consist of Extreme-Closeup, Closeup, Medium, Wide Shot, Extreme Wide, Over The Shoulder, and Point of View. Using those six shots we would create a film sing the key principles of film making: Directing, Lighting, Audio, Editing, Writing, Cinematography. The rest of the project was of our own vision. With the project scheduling was the biggest problem as it was an inconvenient time for everyone. Out of the three films this one was the only one were I think I could have done more to help and make the film.  For the Commercial project we had to sell a product using a video that is either 15, 30, or 60 seconds long. My group did a Beats By Dre commercial and the same key principles of filming were just as important as the last project and will continue to stay important all the way through out a film career. This project was better than t

A to B Sequence

Introduction This is the Part A to Part B Sequence video. The video is simple, you start some where (A) and you end at another place (B). The challenge is how you get there and how cool you look while doing it you need to get the audience's attention very early quick into the video. Otherwise they will leave. Video Planning and Filming process We were separated into teams of 3 and 4, not much bigger than the How to Print project group size. After separated our group had no clue about what to make after a while. but then we thought about the farthest areas of the school and Had the entrance as A and the math as B. After the planning was out of the way, the video was much easier to make. Our group had a shot of a phone telling the viewers that the actor was late to class. We had an establishing shot showing the setting, which was a school, and then work from there. Conclusion Shooting and editing the video was fun and being able to put together a video and keep all the i
