Reconsidering My CCR

     After reviewing the footage for my CCR, I came to the conclusion that it just was not good enough. I felt that it felt short of what I could really do. It felt rushed, improvised, and just overall not up to my expectations. On the day of the filming of it, we didn't take it too seriously, we were getting frustrated on things and the explanations and overall reflection part of the CCR didn't seem sit right after reviewing it. I felt as if none of us were prepared on the day and we just wanted to get it over with. So on second thought I will keep the interview style of the CCR but I will scrap everything but the interviewer and pretend it is an over the phone on TV interview. In which I will just voiceover over things like clips, images, bloopers, and more to really and deeply answer the questions correctly and formally.

Learning to Edit

Image
      Over spring break, I went on a mini-vacation to both Orlando and Naples, and I thought I wasn't going to be able to work on my portfolio in ways other than developing more ideas and refinements for our filming which was coming soon. However, the hotel I was staying at in Orlando had a library, with computers free of access to everyone staying there. So, I thought I may as well spend some of the time I had free in the library working towards learning how to use some editing software. Over my 6 day stay, I spent anywhere from 10-30 minutes at least each day familiarizing myself with Adobe Premiere Pro and even practicing by making short 5 seconds clips.     I found this YouTube tutorial from "Justin Brown - Primal Video" really helpful and beginner friendly in introducing and teaching the basic and necessities of Premiere Pro:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cdpBq5EYFI

Camera Angles in a Movie

Image
Spider-Man 1 Scene 1 Pan Shot This pan didn't give much emotion but it served as more of a filler and introduction shot to the movie as the narrator talked about the backstory. It also introduces the setting of New York City. It sets a very action-packed but also ominous tone while panning as there is constant street noise and things going on but also foreshadowing to the villain and its problems later to come in the movie. Scene 2 Close up Shot This shot focuses on the head and upper torso, the directors probably chose the close up shot to express the vivid and powerful emotions that the character is feeling. It creates a sense of suspense, uneasiness, and fear. You can see all the tiny details with the close up, the spider bite, sweat, facial expression, shaking, and more. Scene 3 Point of View Shot This shot helped us see the characters troubles and actions through his view, it also helped show the emotion more because the viewer feels as if they are the one struggling and get i...

Update on Work (we made an establishing script)

Image
      It has been a while since we last met as a group to work on this project, but throughout this extended leave, with all the ideas and discussions we had on our film opening, Justin put together a rough script in which we all revised and approved. The script doesn't go over dialogue or much, but it does include all the important stuff like mise-en-scene, camera angles, and more. We have also started working on a story board to put the words into picture. After the story board all that will be left is to pick out setting which we already have some picked out, and to buy the costumes and props we may need for filming. After that all that is left is the filming and putting together/editing of the film. Below is the script we constructed:
