PSA

The concept that was first pitched by Katie was a PSA about depression where someone off screen would ask the question "Can you laugh without smiling?" and the rest of the group loved the idea so much that we just went with it. The preproduction was fairly easy since Katie had a really in depth idea of what she wanted, so she naturally became director and led the rest of the project. Writing the script was the hardest part since we were mostly relying on the reactions of the people we asked and didn't know how they would at first. Thats were editing really came into play because all of us kind of had a different way we wanted to edit it so it was really put up to interpretation towards the end. I filmed some of the people, but since Olive and I started so late that day we didn't get as many people as Mallory or Katie did. Since this was the first project of the year I learned that I'm a little rusty with my camera skills since I haven't used a camera since last school year. If I could do something different I would like to get a better variety of people in different places instead of just inside the school. Next time I will definitely spend more time getting footage since we had such little footage to work with.

Premiere Reflection

This year I worked as the UPM and Makeup artist while on set. Both of those jobs kept me very busy during our time both on and off set. While in class I worked with Sarah to plan out filming dates and any other thing that she needed help with. That includes helping with schedule breakdowns, call sheets, and assigning jobs to everyone in class so they knew what to do to prepare for our next filming dates. Last year I was also UPM, but this year was very different and more difficult in planning out. I think both Skai and myself did a good job of helping Sarah and Keenan out when they needed us and for planning out filming dates. For Makeup artist I mostly did all my work on set and not very much that was needed outside of that. That includes putting on all the regular beauty makeup and special effects makeup that made the fight scenes really come alive. This year wasn’t as hard as last year when makeup was involved since everything I did this year is the same as what I did last year, bu...

MX4D

MX4D is an immersion experience that make you feel like you are in the movie you are watching in that theater. Before going to see justice league in MX4D I was interested in it a little bit, but I knew that it would probably be something that I would only see once. The experience didn't meet my expectations just because I thought it was going to be more interesting and immerse me into the movie, but instead it just took my out of it ad made me more focused on the movements and staying in my seat than actually watching the movie.  At first my favorite part of it was the moving of the chairs, but after a while it got hard to stay comfortable i the seats while they were moving. It was also hard to balance yourself so you wouldn't fall out of the chairs. My least favorite part was the strobe lights when the gun shots went off and when the flash ran. I thought these were just too distracting and made it hard to watch the movie because from where I was sitting it looked lik...

Final 2017

This video was the PSA that I made with Mallory, Katie, Olive, Erin and Cyle. It was suppose to be very different from all other PSA's about depression. This project was the first one that I made this year, so it was a little different/hard to get back into the mindset of making a video again. I learned how to work with new people and how to get back to working with people that I haven't worked with in a while. The most challenging thing about making this video was the edit because there were so many ways that you could edit it and every way would make it different. This was my video for the 24 hour film festival that I made with Sarah and Armin. This video was very different from all the over videos that I have made because we were filming all night long and then editing all day. This was a huge challenge because I was working with people I had barely collaborated with before, I worked with actors I didn't know, and I was up most of the night filming it. But this vid...
