Short Film (final)

Short Film (Final)
 from April to May, me and five others worked on a short film for video class. The video was the hardest as we needed to have 3-5 minutes worth of footage as opposed to 1-2 minutes. The video was also not a parody like the movie trailer project. Before the project we had to completely change the script leaving only one shot in from it in the final video. This was a massive hurdle as we didn't start out with a good script (sorry).  When filming we found out that we were missing a storyboard, a crucial part to filming, and instead we needed to make up some shots resulting in a very very long shot. The film was a goofy comedy about a gamer who got robbed by a unskilled robber. While the video was very successful in making people laugh at funny scenes. The video was still with flaws such as we didn't show footage of the robber going up stairs after the fact of he was behind the gamer when he started looking for the robber. Another small but still a challenge was time for filming. We wanted to film at night for a scary tone but it didn't happen as their was no good weekend times for everyone. However, a good thing most of everyone in our group did was stay on task when we were done. After the script was finished, some of us just chilled while others finished up the storyboard, production schedule and learned editing skills. this resulted in no extra time outside of class to finish the video.

A to B Sequence

Image
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...

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...

Film Reel 2020 -2021

Image
     This is my film reel for 2020. It is composed of three projects: Lazy Sunday, The Date, and Monopoly Commercial. The style I was trying to convey in it was a more fun, light-heart style as it is the first film reel I made composed of just comedy. In this film reel I tried going for music that had good energy but wasn't meant to be very energetic as I felt a problem that I had in my last film reel was the energy of the song didn't match some of the clips. When looking for the music for the reel, I wanted to go with a song that had no chance of getting copyright claimed as the last film reel song was the instrumentals to "Treasure" by Bruno Mars Something else I was looking to improve was going from a shaky shot to a steady shot as I remembered that I gave a disorienting feel when watch the reel. To solve the problem I removed shots that had too much shake in them and shots that were mildly shaking and shots that where steady where put together. I tried to get the ...
