Mean Girls Trailer Project Review














This is one project I did not complete all the way. I lost the SD card with most of the trailer on it and we needed to re-shoot all of the lost footage which put our group behind. Editing takes a long time which was not a good thing since we were already behind with me losing the SD card. I edited as much as I could so I would not get a bad grade before spring break. 
We did a pretty good job of planning before we went and shot the trailer. I had to use audio from the actual trailer because we did not have time to record all the voice-overs. If we had more time and if I hadn't lost the SD card we would have made a great video.
With the video itself we could have done a better job with line up the shots the exact way. Again if we had time to we would have done so. The lighting was not the best either because the school's lights were off and we had to find some of the only lights on to get a not so perfect shot of the trailer.
I learned, with this project, to keep track of my stuff or else you are going to lose valuable time to edit of redo shots that needed tweaking.

During this final year of e-Communication I was able to grow as a person, friends, and member of society. The works that I have completed have allowed me to met new people in my community and created deeper friendships. There was a sense of family when I was in ninth grade, this is still true 3 years later. I learned to complete projects on time and how to create videos efficiently in order to turn the projects in. Also I learned to work with people that did not really want to be in the program. The difficulty these kinds of people can bring are astronomical. They do not do the work and have no motivation to do anything. I was pulling all the slack and creating a video I was happy with and one that impressed people. I learned how to create an amazing video using my cinematography skills. Compared to my first video, my last final reel showcased some of my best works, and I say some because I could not find some of my other projects I worked on. I learned different terms and uses of th...

This is the over the shoulder shot from our video. ONW Planner Procedure The scope of the project was to capture the various procedures in the planner and my partner and I chose to do the video about how to use the planner properly. Our process was to get notes from the client and see what the client wanted to be in their video. Then from those notes we came up with ideas and wrote them down. After we wrote down our ideas we grabbed a storyboard and came up with a few ideas for shots then fine tuned them. This was a medium shot to capture the teacher signing the planner.  For the shooting we followed the storyboard almost exactly and we remembered the 6-shot system and the 180* rule. The six shot system consists of six shots (duh) and they are Extreme-wide, Wide, Medium, Over the shoulder, Close-up, and Extreme close-up. We needed to use all of them but we missed the Extreme close-up in our video. But for the shots that we did take they were correctly placed ...

.Insomnia. This project was a fun one to make. Though it was made in just a few hours, Jordan and I created a pretty good looking project. I feel like I slaked off in this project given the amount of time we were given. I kept putting this project off due to work, school and the feature film I am currently working on, but this does not excuse the utter slack of work I put into this. We filmed and directed this in 25 minutes and I edited all footage and sound in around 45 minutes to an hour. This concept was a different one that was chosen at first. We decided that this concept would be easier to produce. While this was short, this is the most editing I have done for a film, ever. It was very complicated with the light-leaks and the transitions that I used. The audio was the hardest thing that I had to edit. The ticking at the end was the most difficult to edit due to the effects that I had to implement in order to ensure that it sounded the way I intended it to. Overal...
