Creative Critical Reflection #3

The third creative critical reflection question is "how did your production skills develop throughout this project?"  My production skills developed positively throughout this project.  I had not used iMovie before this film, I had not adjusted setting manually on a video camera before, and I had not written a script before this project.  I had always wanted to use iMovie but I was never able to because I was not making a film or a video.  This was the first time I got to experience working with iMovie and I loved it.  Figuring out all of the features that it has available and being able to edit my own film was an amazing experience.  I have always used my phone to record videos and have never used an actual video camera before this experience.  I got to learn how you manually adjust the setting on a video camera.  I feel like this is an important technique to know because actual producers do not use their phone to film a movie, they have to record with a big camera.  If I wanted to go into the film industry, this would be a useful tool.  Lastly, I got to write a script.  This was a challenge for me as I have never written a script before.  With the help of my group members, we were able to finish it.  This is a good technique to have because if you are going into the film industry, you know how to write a script and what belongs in a script.

Planning- Filming

During the past couple weeks, it has been difficult trying to get a good time for everyone to film.  Once we did get everyone together, it was very easy to film because we already had all the props and locations set up.  On Friday, December 15 we tried to get everyone together but were unable to do so.  After many times of trying to get together, December 18th we finally all got together after school.  For editing, we decided to use Morgan's Macbook computer instead of a laptop.  This would give us a bigger screen along with a more dependent computer.  I took us a couple hours to edit and we are continuously still editing our film.  The editing app that we are using on Morgan's Macbook is called "IMovie".

3rd Quarter Submission Feedback

Just like last quarter, we went over everyone's magazine or film and talked about what we liked and the critiques.  My group and I changed a variety of things from the last quarter submission.  We changed the start of the film along with cutting out many scenes.  The feedback that we received was mostly positive but we need to add some of the scenes we cut back into the film.  We needs to also cut some of the beginning scene where the drome is flying through the neighborhood.  That scene was too long and takes up most of the film.  ON the positive note, many people thought our film was funny especially when Donte (the dad) and Hannah (the mom) are in the car talking and there is an awkward pause before exiting the car.  Our film is close to being done but there still is many things that we can improve before the final submission.
