Reflection

-

 1. At the beginning of this project, I came in know little to nothing about editing and the different softwares. The most common one I knew of was Cap-cut but I had no idea how to use it. I never really even had any interest in learning how to use it. However this project really changed that mentality and gave me the opportunity to learn something new. It introduced me to new programs that also involve editing videos. Not only in terms of editing but being and social and talking with an audience through programs I had never heard of, like blogger. Those were some of the technology I learned to use.

2.  With this project, I learned a couple things I want to apply future projects and some that I applied to this one in particular. This project introduced me to a program I am planning on using for future reference. Whereas the program, i'm planning to use the same one and learn more about other features. This specific project showed me how much planning and working is necessary in meeting deadlines. It also showed me that my classmates are there to help me, not compete against me, and as such, I should ask for help when I need it. I learned about the execution on the lead up. Which I feel will help facilitate the process from now on. However, some of the ways I managed my time will be handled differently. 

3. For the next project, which if I am not mistaken will be a music video, I will try to plan sooner and avoid procrastinating so much. I tried moving forward a lot but  I had some metal block on how to do it exactly. I also want to plan things out beforehand so I can avoid so much investigating and I have a plan set out to make things more smooth. Learning is part of the process and I think that if I improve my editing skills, timing and planning, then the next project could turn out differently. For my first project however, I'm pretty proud of how my commercial came out. I'm proud, but I now I can do so much better if I learn more. Those are some of the things I learned and what I think I should change.

So, moving into the characters that would be in the film. The group was chosen based on availability, most of them, well all, being my friends. A recurring helper, my best friend Johanna, my friend Jacobo, and someone I met recently, Sophia. There were more people but they didn't have time or something came up. From the team, only Benjamin and I showed up.  The team decided to record in late January so it was a tad cold but Everyone wanted to fit into the timeline so most of the team members were co-opperative dress attire-wise. I made sure everyone brought the necessary items given that the place was dark, so flashlights were required. It took a while for the recording team to all show up, but once attendance was met, I set up most things to get ready to shoot. The first step was to clear the area and make a map of the areas we would visit throughout the recording. The team decided on a few areas, the first being the storage room with the skates previously mentioned. The group dec...

 Hey guys welcome back quick update, a lot of things changed. Well a lot was forced to, due to our extenuating circumstances and the production of this is music video. Let me explain, to make things simple, the video won’t be going on script with the storyboard. I put my party and even though I had just gotten out of competition, and hadn’t eaten, I put my part in and brought my best friend in order to complete the ideal goal. However, a lot of problems arose, some being mine and others not so much.  One of the problems that I had was in fact, competition, I was not aware of how late the final round would last and my group meme era had to film the lonely part by them selves, Ayannah and Benjamin. I ended up finally being free at around 3:30 pm, and had to run and pick up my best friend in order to even make it to see the team. There was in fact some negative feels towards me but I couldn’t control it and I changed the schedule and filming period in order to make time for every...
