Video Final

Music Video

Our task was to and a song we enjoyed and then recreate the music video. This project took about a month including pre production. the biggest challenge we faced was probably the weather because it was either snowing or raining, but we still were able to find a time to film. the most important thing I learned during this project was probably how to lay out a beat sheet, and how to work with a group on a large and lengthy project. Most feedback we got was about our lighting because it was very cloudy. We could have avoided this by fine tuning our cameras settings. One thing we changed was that we removed a verse fro the original music video because it was too lengthy and unnecessary. Overall i thought this project went very well and there was a lot of good communication with group.


Short Film 

We had to right a script for a short film then actually produce this film. it took about a month and a half start to finish. One of the biggest challenges was probably finding a time to film when everyone was available, thats why its very important to make a calendar during pre production. What I learned is that communication with your teammates is absolutely necessary. Some feedback we got as that the audio was very quite. To fix this next time we need to check out a boom mic. Somethings we changed was that we were constantly changing the script to make things sound more natural. I feel like this short film was a success but I would like to do it over again and improve a bunch of things such as audio.

Time Management

Overall I used my class time wisely and effectively. When I finished projects I stayed productive my helping other students. Outside of class I watched editing tutorials in order to improve my skills.

Areas of strengths/Areas of improvement 

One of my areas of strength would be collaboration. I am very good with communicating with my teammates and working with others. Some areas of improvement would be my technical skills. I definitely need to learn how to use the camera settings better, and could also improve my editing skills. To improve those skills I can easily find video online abut them.

Short Film

My role in our short film was to complete the story board and I was also an actor. I learned a lot about script writing and story production from this project. The most important thing I learned though was probably how to right my logline and synopsis. It definitely wasn't the most entertaining thing but it will come in useful.


Summary 

My favorite part about this semester was probably the amount of freedom we were given. I honestly wouldn't change a thing about this semester I thought it went very well, and that is was taught excellently. One overall take away from this semester would be that communication is key. One goal I would like to set for next year is to get more comfortable with the cameras. Overall I really enjoyed this semester an I am very exited for Entertainment next year.

2020 Film Reel

My film reel is meant to portray teen life, adventure, and a little bit of conflict. I feel that this reel mainly showcases cinematography, and editing, and lighting. I used beat sink on some of the shots but not all so it didn't become predictable and boring. I also had some actions happen to the beat of the song. When ending my film reel I chose a really bright outside shot full of warm colors, I chose to do so because it ends the reel on a positive note. I also only choose shots that were really cinematic to include in my film reel. Thats probably why my reel was shorter than a minute, but I plan to add a lot more work after the completion of my music video. I used three works in this film reel: Perfect Putty,  Levis Commercial, and Wimp. For the most part transitions between these pieces worked pretty well, but there are a few jarring cuts because of drastic lighting changes. One thing I would like to change next time I update my reel is the music, its spliced together in som...

Vans Commercial

 Production  Our commercial was for Vans, the concept that we wanted to get across was that vans are a great durable shoe that bring people together.  Our pre production went really smoothly and we got our script and storyboards all done. Production also went extremely well. It was a little interesting to film at a skate park, we had to make sure not to get in anyones way but overall it was really fun. Post production could have gone better though. Our video was turned in late and it didn't meet the 30 second requirement. That is definitely something to improve on. I think we did a pretty good job on all the five guarantees except communication and project management. I would like to see things turned in on time for my next project, and to have better communication between editor and cinematographer.  Role   For this commercial I took on the production role of cinematographer. This was one of my goals I set last year: I wanted get more familiar with the cam...
