Production 1-"focus of your work"; planning, location scouting, studying, and filming

 Week 7 : This week I planned out how the first two minutes are going to go. This is because before I had this huge idea of how the 2 minutes were going to go but the shortly realized I really did not have enough people since I am not in a group. This lead to thing that my first 2 minutes should be about creating the world with drone shots (Since I got a drone for Christmas) and a lot of VFX. Then I started to picture the angles of the drone shots that would be best for the movie and look the coolest. After that I spent hours and hours watching YouTube videos on VFX and all the different techniques.  Then I went around looking for the best places to fly the drone that would look the coolest for my film/movie. 

 

Week 7 Part 2:  Later in the week I started to practice flying my drone to get the best shots. It took me a while to get anything remotely good. But then I started to get better. Also, I started to look for a song to use in the film to. Which also took me a while. When I was trying to find the song I went on YouTube and watched trailer after trailer to see how other movies picked and used songs to better the trailer. After that I picked out the song I was going to use THE PLAN by Travis Scott. This song was used in the movie Tenet which is personally one of my favorite movies of all time. As the week ended I started to get a better understanding of how exactly the 2 minutes were going to go.

To Team or Not Team

  To Team or Not Team: I have at arrived at my decision whether to work on my portfolio project in a group or not and have decided to work in a group. Even though I know that it will be hard to work in a group, since I am online. But I have  actually decided  to work in a group, my decision is a result from the experience with the “Social Media Peer Account” and the Lost at Sea” team-building activity on Blackboard. For example, when doing both the social media and the lost at sea activity it was extremely hard trying to talk back and forth to my teammate while being online. But once we figured out a way to communicate the activity was fun. This is because as an online school student, you don’t really get to talk to your friends in class or anyone really for that matter. But with this activity the online students got to talk and collaborate with anyone in the class. This made the activity's go super quick and I felt like I paid more attention to the assignment at hand. Al...

Peer Review

  After presenting  I got a lot of feedback from my peers . The main thing they said was that I should add more VFX especially to the  street shot. Which I heavily agree  about. I was actually planning to add VFX to the street shot , but I ran out of time. But now since I have a little bit before I have to send my project to Cambridge so I can add those finishing touches such as  more VFX. Also, when getting feedback people said to  add more sound  e ffects.  One example they gave me was to add explosion soun ds  when there was smoke VFX on screen. Which  in my opi ni on will make the scene more impactful  in the long run .  The last thing  people said was to make the intro  t itle scene longer. On this screen it  has text that  explains what this story is going to be about . The r eason they said to make it longer was because they  couldn’t read the whole thing  b y the time the screen went away....
