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, but I do think I improved tremendously from last year to this year.
I worked a lot in and out of class whether that was on set of just working on the film at home preparing for our next shoot. I never got done early with my work so I was always busy and never had to worry about what to do if I had extra time to fill. Working with our crew this year has been amazing and I am so grateful that they were the people in my class and made this film with me. They have helped me grow a lot as a person and I cannot be more thankful to each and everyone of them.
My area for strength this year is definitely communication and collaboration because of the people that I have had the chance to get to know this year. They have aided in my growth as a communicator, but even though I think that is my strength this year I also think that's where I need to improve because you can never stop growing in that area.
The premiere was a really bittersweet experience for me since it is my last one, but I did enjoy the night a lot especially when everyone from both hours got to talk and have fun together. I also enjoyed the fact that I got to see Morris and other teachers/staff that I don’t get to see on a regular basis. Although we had our ups and downs through this year and there were definitely some parts where I didn’t want to be UPM anymore it really paid off to show all our hard work to our friends and family and I will never forget this experience.

Close up (cu)- A close up of a face showing an expression of with the person is doing. Over the shoulder (ots)- You only see the back of the person’s head, the shoulder and what they are working on.

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...
