Group Movie Project

Criteria: Group Movie Project


Describe your role in the production of the class movie. How did your contribution make things more efficient? How did you help make the movie better? What specific contributions did you make? Did you go above and beyond, or simply show up? Be honest.
     My role in this film was to be a Sci-fi captain and I also worked with audio coordination. I played my role according to how I felt a science fiction nerd would react in a situation brought about in such a film recorded. I also took part in managing the way certain scenes should look as to the script. I believe my contribution allowed the film to be what it is now. I put forth my faith and passion into the play so that I could see it for not just what was presented in my mind but on the camera.    


Describe one or more things you learned about the writing process that you did not know before working on this project.
The writing of a film in any occasion is fairly challenging. There needs to be a lot of thought and organization put into though when formulating an idea into a film. I did not know that as much as an idea is good it has to be fairly reasonable to capture. My ideas are very extraneous with no constraint and now I know that my mind has to have some restriction.    


Describe one or more things you learned about the production (filming) process that you did not know before working on this project.
The first thing that I learned was that camera angles and zooms matter significantly. They put so much depth and meaning into a film. My projects this year will definitely reflect upon what I learned from this project. 


Describe one or more things you learned about the post-production (editing, sound, etc.) process that you did not know before working on this project.
I learned basically that audio overlapping can work great in a film. The aspect is fairly engaging and can make a scene feel more in depth. The use of fading and dissolving can always smooth out a final product.


Are you satisfied with the final product? Why or why not? Be honest.
I honestly think that this film could of been better. The idea jumped around so much and had to be refined to what time we had available. The filming was decent with all of the pans and zooms, but they weren't all that dramatic.


Suggest one improvement for next year’s class. What could I do to make it easier/better/more informative/more fun?
I feel you getting more involved with the individual students can really improve the class. Having a one on one chat with someone can really improve the relationship with the student and the teacher. It with help you understand our background more.
