Why I chose my group members

 Anyway to continue off the last post, I won't be working alone of course, this is going to be a group project, which is great because we can help each other and build off each other's ideas to make the best final product that we can. Anyway in my group there's me, Arturo, and Alejandro. Arturo I definitely wanted in my group because he has a true passion for videomaking, and he would have no shortage of ideas and ways to improve whatever our final product is. And Alejandro is very skilled in photography, videography, and choreography. When framing a scene he knows where to put everything instinctually and always has ideas. Both of them are very creative, Alejandro actually having come up with the concept for our Sound Story project a few months ago. I look forward to working with both of them in the months to come.

Final Project

It's been a long road to get here, but we finally have it! The final product: Hope you all enjoy!

Videos

A few days back, we were made to create five different shots for our class with a partner, each using a different camera angle. Here is my work:      Video #1 - Introductory Scene - This shot shows the campus before stopping and zooming in on a tree, which the audience will ideally view as being the most integral part of the story. It's introductory because it shows the setting of the rest of the movie and introduces key items. This shot was created by simply rotating the camera and then using the zoom function on it, zoning in on the tree. Our goal of making an introductory scene was probably achieved.      Video #2 - High Shot - This shot displays Arturo (my partner) from a high vantage point below the viewer. In the video, he picks up a stick and slowly points it upward, towards the camera. The way this was recorded was by me standing on a bench and rotating the camera angle down at Arturo, then slowly tilting it upward during the course of the filming i...

CCR - Creative Critical Reflection

This is my Creative Critical Reflection (Length 11:44): NOTE: THERE IS AN ERROR AT 2:03 - I say "DIEGETIC SOUND" when I mean to say "NON-DIEGETIC SOUND". Summary: Overall, it was a great experience working on this project. The film overall is a horror / adventure film about someone who "loses" some of his friends while driving without any explanation or reason. This causes him to have a mental breakdown, serving as the intro to our movie "Search", which will presumably be about the driver searching for his friends. Analyzation: 1st scene: Color is utilized to symbolize future and foreshadowing; Non-diegetic Sound is not used to keep tone neutral 2nd scene: Could potentially be improved; we did not give anyone dialogue to use Transition from 2nd to 3rd scene: Could potentially be improved; There is a problem in that some viewers may think a significant amount of time is passing between the two scenes. 3rd scene: Moment of shock for driver; area in...
