Film Project Reflection

Our assignment was to create a film using all of the elements learned in our class discussions. Through this process we had learned how to take on new perspectives and add new elements to make a film look better. Through the uses of the new techniques our group was able to produce a quality film.

The first day our group met in class we assigned each other our roles. As the director my role was to tell a story through my vision of the camera. I chose the role of being a director because I have knowledge of many different shot types learned in our class discussions. The cinematographers were given their role because of the experience with a quality camera and some nice photography in the past. The writer was assigned his role because of his great past works he has done. The editor was assigned to his role because he knew the best about editing software. Our group had settled on doing a film about two friends getting lost in the forest and finding their way out. There were some trouble with script ideas but in the end we got a good start. The second time we met

I tried my best to get the film in the best shape that I could for the editor so he would have time to edit it and not have much pressure. I feel as if the film did not meet our groups expectations based on what we were going for. Our vision was to create a beautiful evening hike through the woods where a tree had fell to get some very great shots with a nice background but because of flaky actors and busy schedules we were not able to achieve this goal. Our film quality was used with a decent camera and a decent mic but we were not able to have the best film cinematically that we could have. For the next film project assigned I will start early and get a head start so the editor can have more time and set up a schedule so everyone in the group is able to meet and have equal parts in the

    2) In the movie Dances with Wolves I thought that the cinematography was done very well throughout and that it was a very important aspect to the film’s success. As the movie progresses, beautiful scenery is captured and an old time in our history is portrayed. The reason why this film contains such great cinematography is because it allows us to visualize the story and create a very strong and emotional attachment for the characters. The film also was very successful in using the proper techniques of lighting and camera positions. The importance behind these two are huge because they determine the type of mood in which the film is captured.…

    ‘Just one hour of this and you can go back to sleep’ was the phrase I groggily repeated to myself as I got ready to register for my freshman year of high school. Had I known that the mountain of paperwork I was about to fill out that late July morning would ultimately lead to me finding my passion, I would have definitely been a lot more enthusiastic. I traded all my information for my schedule, only to realize that there was one slight problem: P.E. was on my list of courses for the year. Physical education? I sought out my counselor immediately to fix this quandary.…

    Before this course, I did not know grammar well, and what I did know I did not fully understand. Yet, due to taking the course, I learned more about the structure of the English language, and can use grammar better than I did before. For instance, the first three major assignments were filled with missing comas, verb-tense misuses, and run-on sentences. Now, I may still make mistakes, but I know why I have made them. In other English courses, I had grammar homework and reading assignments that, often, seemed to be busy work, but with this course, I did not think that was the case.…
