My Experience with Project 2

Project two was a good experience. I enjoyed filming and editing it. Me and partner did what we had too in order to make sure it was in it's best shape. We did not always agree but we did what we had to too make sure it was completed and in it best possible shape. I enjoyed the interviewing aspect and watching other news videos to get inspiration for our video. I definitely see myself making more videos like this.

My Experience with project 3

In the beginning of this project I was excited and enthusiastic. I was anxious to begin planning and shooting. When me and my group began planning, I was very observant of the dynamic that was presented, of whom was more in control of the script and other considerable factors of the process. I began to understand what my part was in making this vision a reality. I felt I was overpowered in having my ideas heard, so I found ways to have my ideas respected but that wasn't enough. The first shoot, when it came to taking different shots I was told I was not taking them correctly or they were not needed. I addressed my team members and told them  the micro managing was unnecessary and it hindered the free flow of my creativity. They told me they understood and that next time it would not happen. The  second shoot I was told I did not need to bring any filming accessory because the IPhone 5 is what will be used. I understood so I contributed some directions to the actors. When it came down to it, I had offered moral support and was present at the two shoots contributing direction, offered insight as too which actors would be best for the short film, offered ideas of how to structure the video during the editing process and significantly contributed to the organization of the group meetings.My editing ideas were considered as after thoughts. Being that I did not want any confrontation, nor had any intentions in taking this experience personal, I was satisfied knowing that I had contributed a lot and all that I could. All in all, this was a great learning experience and I am appreciative to have had gained insight into the steps of making a short film with a group. I am also relieved seeing that some of my footage was used in part 1 of  the video.

My Experience with Project 1

My experience with project one was interesting and exciting. I enjoyed filming and editing my project. Creating a dynamic for my film was challenging because I wanted to make sure the story was displayed vibrantly but corresponding to what the story represents. I was excited to see what my story became at the end. The editing was difficult and a little frustrating but to successfully complete the video the way I imagined it was rewarding and worth it.
