 For the shots/angles quiz, I worked with a partner to create 15 shots that told a story of an inanimate object and explain those shots and why they were chosen. The objects I chose were two pens, one black and one red. We came up with the story of the black pen being abandoned by their owner and forming a connection with the red pen. We wrote down the required shots and how we would use them in the story and then filled in the rest of the shots once we had the required ones. We then went outside to take the photos. I think that we did mostly well for the project. One shot, the extreme close up, wasn't framed tight enough so that was one issue that could be improved.

CCR Prep

  Now that the actual film opening is done, it's time to make the creative critical reflection, or CCR. For this I'll need to make two videos that each use a different approach to answer each of these four questions: How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? How did your production skills develop throughout this project? How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project? I've given it some thought and I've came up with basic ideas ideas for how I want to answer them. This is of course not exactly how I'll express these thoughts in the videos themselves, but it is the core of it. Question:  How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Answer: The Summer of the Swarm uses a variety of horror and thriller genre conventions,...

Documentary Critical Reflection

 The goal of my documentary Scrapped  was to show what unfinished art projects reveal about their creators, specifically when those creators are young. I think that I succeeded in accomplishing this goal while creating an engaging piece, although there are some areas for improvement.  When it came to research, it was mainly research through other documentaries as opposed to research of the subject. The subject of unfinished art projects didn't have any facts or history I needed to mention, and I wanted the film to be all about the personal opinions and emotions of the subjects. This is why there are no statistics or facts mentioned in the film, which illustrates the emphasis on personal feelings and attachment. Of the documentaries that I viewed in class, Exit Through the Gift Shop was the biggest inspiration, as I took a lot from it's chaotic and raw aesthetic when it came my editing choices and b-roll. Above is a shot from that film, where the unpolished nature of it's ...
