Final Reflection

4) Early in the year, I learned the importance of camera angles to add effect. You can see that, in my first film, I didn't do this because it was all shot at the same angle. On my second project I learned how to blend shots together +-+ you can see this because when filming the scenes outside we shot all of michealas scenes at once then all of the other scenes at once and edited them all together. Later in the year we did some video blending when we did our final video by taking a lot of clips from our previous videos and blending them all together. Like in the scene when we took my voice saying "ok its recording" to start the video.

5)Something that i learned about making films is that propper planning is required in making a good piece of film. This planning makes things easier when you begin to edit, and even when you are filming so you dont have to keep moving from location to location .

6)This experience was a good one as itr helped me learn about film and the difficult process in making it and editing it. I now have a greater respect for film creators and cinematographers. I also made some great friends in this class and feel like this was a worthwhile class.

Introduction: For this video we decided to do a compilation of our group "The Crew's" finest moments. With some bloopers. And some dubstep. Oh yeah.

Final Video

"Thinking about Our Final Values Video."

Positive Comments:
 Music was played at the very beginning of the video, used to help emphasize that they were going to go do something mischevious. Very edgy music. It worked because that's exactly what they went to go do. Michaela C and Ashley T.
. Overall, the music you chose worked very well with the film. -Kelsey and Kaycee
overall we thought you're video was sweet short and right to the point. -Isaiah S, and Cesar J.
The most important use of music was when the camera zoomed in on the dip. It was used to create a sense of comic relief. It worked very well because everybody in the audience laughed. Jake and Alex
We especially like the close ups of Michaela and Chris talking. John and Joselyn
The music was changed for some parts to give different feelings. It worked because it made me feel like i was nervous for the main character. Jacob D and Morgan D
Suggestion:
One edit we would've changed was the abrupt ending at the end. We felt that the out point was very quick. Michaela C and Ashley T
You didn't have any titles at the beginning, but the ones at the end were good, and everything was cited properly. -Kelsey and Kaycee
our strongest suggestion for you is add to the part when they throw away the chew Isaiah S, and Cesar J
There werent any titles in this video Jake and Alex
  
Two positive comments that we liked were from Isaiah S, and Cesar J. they said "overall we thought you're video was sweet short and right to the point." This was very helpful to us because that was the main point we were going for . We wanted people to get the point quickly and have some fun while watching it.
Also the comments by  Michaela C and Ashley T. they said "Music was played at the very beginning of the video, used to help emphasize that they were going to go do something mischevious. Very edgy music. It worked because that's exactly what they went to go do." We really liked this advice because we thought the music flowed very well in our video and it gave us some extra confidence. And We planned the emphasice on the on the mishevious activity in the classroom.
The suggestion by Kelsey and Kaycee was helpful, they said "You didn't have any titles at the beginning, but the ones at the end were good, and everything was cited properly." This was helpful because now we know that adding some titles in the begining would enhance our video.
Another good suggustion was by Isaiah S, and Cesar J they said "our strongest suggestion for you is add to the part when they throw away the chew" this was helpful because we realize that the throwing away of the chew might not have been very clear or too vauge. This gives us a suggustion to show a can being tossed to make that fact known.

the real rough draft

the value we are trying to represent is the value of integrity. I think our group did the editing extremely well, with all of the movement it was difficult to cut the clips so it looked like one continuious movement but i feel like our group did it well. What we still need to complete is adding more close up shots to our video as we pass the chew around. We need to know if we cut anything too short or had any action shots cut funny. One challenge we had while creating our film was that we had some trouble finding good music that fit our video. We wanted some loud hardcore music in the begining to suggust that we were doing something wrong and also some bluegrass to kind of get a redneck feel from the chew. we searched for almost a day and a half to find music that fit our video perfectly. But in the end i think we found music that fits our video extremely well.

The realizations that we made before we started shooting were that we had to take time and really plan our shots before we did any actual shooting.
Yes in our shots we did somewhat follow the rule of thirds.
The impression given was that we were having a conversation.
The dialogue seems semi-realistic but it is a littte fast.
