My experience editing the Experimental Project

Shooting and editing the experimental project was really fun for me. Since it was an experimental I got to really play around with angles and different editing techniques. I slowed down and sped up the time and I was really proud of the edit where I used the evaporating rain footage over top of the sand at the beach. Our quote was “It was so hot they never left their house” so Nick and I tried to brainstorm ideas that would show how hot it was. I looked up a bunch of different editing tricks I could use in the project that I will probably use again some time. Overall during this project, I felt like I learned a lot, through the shooting and the editing of the film and it was a lot of fun. I am proud of the product we ended up with and I feel like other people enjoyed it as well.

Master Shot Scene Producer

I was the Producer for the Master Shot Scene project and I feel like this project was very rewarding in terms of experience. Honestly I did not have to do the entire producing job by myself because my group members helped a lot in terms of finding actors and extras and locations. They also helped a lot with the set dressing. I was in charge of making the mock up budget in which we came out under budget which was good. We ended up using a lot of stuff that we already had or finding stuff for cheap from the dollar store. I made sure all of the correct forms were signed and that they were scanned correctly. I ended up reading over the rules multiple times convinced that I was missing something but I could not find anything. We got lucky in that the location for the shoot was entirely by itself with no windows or any openings to the streets or people walking by so we only needed one form signed to use the location. Overall I really liked the assignment and I think it turned out well. ...

Ideas for Role in Master Shot Scene

With my role being producer, I am going to help the Director find the location, actors, and props. I will need to fill out the forms to rent the equipment for the days we need them. I will dress the set, supervise what the actors are wearing, and keep track of the props. I will keep a close eye on the shots for continuities sake and make sure everything matches. If anything looks out of order or a shot is missing and it is overlooked I will bring it up to the director. I will try my best to keep everything in order and make the shoot go smoothly. I will also be responsible for data wrangling and I will also put the corresponding files into Premiere Pro and sync the audio and video and then transfer them to the editor. I will be keeping track of the paperwork needed, all the forms, storyboards, overheads, budget, scripts, shot lists, and things of that nature. I will scan all of the necessary paperwork and put them into a pdf format and upload them to the google drive. So most of my job...

How this class has affected my ideas about being a filmmaker

This class if anything has strengthened my resolve to be a filmmaker, I loved every aspect of this class and learning hands on by doing projects instead of just reading from the book. I learned that I like pretty much everything in production and post production from shooting, editing, lighting, sound, and everything in between. I do not like pre-production too much, I understand why it is necessary and that it saves a lot of time later on and that it is a good practice to use, I just end up somewhat second guessing myself like if this would be better if this looked like this or used this instead of this. I also don’t like being a producer that much but every other job I liked a lot. I learned a tremendous amount from this class and I had a lot of fun making the projects. I only had an admittedly loose understanding of film making in general before I took this class, I still don’t know much but it really taught me a lot.
