Blog Reflection

4) Early in the semester, I learmed the importance of camera work and how to effectivly use the Over The Shoulder skill. you can see in this film, I didnt do this, especially since we didnt have the scene for a reaction shot and we didnt realize it till  afetr we and finished shooting the film. On my second project i learned how to make a good script and havit convey the message im trying to make. A scene that shows this well in the film called "Honesty" is when Alex looks nervous and looks like hes really making a hard decision uoi can tell by the way he pants and wiped his forehead as if he is wiping away sweat. Later in the year I really showed that I really had learned that conceot well, since I showed this in other projects. One good example is from "Murder In SBHS" in the scene when Alex is yelling at Eddie B. about how he is a CIA investigator and such. Also when Eddie B.'s lines asre alyas an anchor of reality and how he says "this is stupid" or "of course" it really showed that we were able to plan out the sript whether is not written down on paper or not.

5) I beleive I learned the how much work it takes to make a movie or short film. There is no way to demonstrate this bcause it more of an internal feeling of accompishment than it is if it was some assignment or grade. Now when ever I watch movie I can see the editing points and the special effect and have a rough idea how the accopmlished it. I really see it when movies have over the shoulder scenes becauseIi know that they have to film each side of the conversation before they hack it up and make it look good.
6) This experiance was very benificcal and Im glad I took this class. My fellow class mates made it really worth while for em bcasue of the things they were able to accomplish or the things they've said.

Final Video

This video was thought up by Mr. Alex Torres and egged on by all three of the remaining members about 2 classes ago. There is no solid script. Jake and Krystian pretty much just argued and confirmed lines at the filming of. Jake was the dead guy and the camera guy for the autopsy part. Alex was the phenomenal cop, his acting skill are great and should be an actor. Eddie was the anchor of reality for the film and kind of a comic relief. Krystian was the bad guy and mortician and filmed other scenes. We had a great time filming and editing. We hope the audience enjoys our film we think it’s our best one yet!!!

Jabberwock Project

The special effect that we used the best was the directional blur. This really worked becasue it doesnt give a clear preception of what the picture actually is. The mood we were trying to communicate was intimidation or fear. The stanza that we got had alot of beware's and seemed that it was trying to intimidate the hero and most of all the audience. The idea that we were trying to show was that all the imaginary animals were to be feared and shouldnt be thought if as nice or cute.
