One Word Film

Directions of Project

For this project, we were instructed to make a film that represents the word we were assigned. Our film could not contain any sounds unless it was instrumental music. The film must be 1- 1 1/2 minutes and be edited by both project members. 

My Approach To Completing This Project

To plan our idea for this project effectively, my partner and I made a chart with the order of the shots and scenes we would film. We also used a storyboard to brainstorm the project which helped us quickly film our scenes in an organized manner. For the storyboard, I sketched out what each shot would look like, so when it came time to film, I would have to look at the paper and it would guide me. For the editing section, my partner used Imovie, while I used Adobe premier.

Analysis

Overall, I think my partner and I did a good job completing this project. We messed up a shot because we needed a third person to film, so it was hard to pan the camera from one person to the other, but we did what we could. One of the shots were a little bit blurry, and we couldn't figure out why, so that was another thing to improve on next time. Besides that, I think our shots conveyed the word well, and made sense given the plot.

Camera Shots Project

Directions of The Project:

For my first preliminary project, I made a story consisting of 15 shots, 10 of the camera angles or shots were specifically assigned and made mandatory by my teacher, and for the other 5 I could choose whichever shots I wanted to use. 

Development:

My partner and I agreed that our school's new metal detector and phone rule could be a good inspiration for our project. We decided to use 2 inanimate objects (water bottles) to tell our story. We also drew facial expressions on the water bottles to assist in close-up shots. We planned each shot on a piece of paper and then took them when we were finished with our planning. Then, we pasted each picture onto a PowerPoint, and on each slide, we explained the shot or angle and the scene.

Reflection:

I think that in this project the shots were used accurately and fit into the scene. I think that the shots described the story well. Although, they could've been taken in a better or more accurate location to fit into the story.
