Portfolio Project - Cutting and Pasting

Cutting

These are the last few days of my project and I am excited to finish it up. I have everything cut and edited and found the process went very well I see the story coming together.  The only thing I don't like is how it is too montagy and it feels like I am watching a highlight clip instead of a film. I like the way it looks I just need to be more intentional with the way I am cutting it. These are the last few parts of my project so I want to make sure my time is going towards the right place. Here are the things I want to do within the next few days.

- Finish cutting

- Color correct

- Export

Here is what the project looks like right now.

As you can see I have the videos stretched out so I can mess with the audio and see it. This way I can do more editing and it looks cleaner. Overall, I am excited to finish my project and the next step is the CCR. In my next blog post I will show the script and how I intend on creating the ccr and how it relates to my overall project.

Portfolio Project - Planning CCR

 My CCR Plan

    The critical reflection of my film intro is an important part of my project and takes a lot of my grade. Something that makes it important to me personally is that it is truly a reflection of me as a filmmaker. I estimate that it will take a lot of time so i want to truly dedicate a week to filming this video. The best situation for me is that I take time to truly reflect which is why I have already started with a script. By creating a script I can get rid of "head talk" which is ultimately a form of unpreparedness. 

    For my Creative critical reflection, I want to do something that revolves around the Jimmy Kimmel special Celebrities read Mean Tweets. Within Jimmy Kimmel's segment he finds a way to make it informative yet entertaining which is exactly what I want to do. I think it would be a creative way to create a critical reflection while also poking a little bit of fun at myself. I think this will make me standout and be unique while also allowing me to answer questions. So for example I could read a tweet that says "this looks so bad. Was it filmed on a potato?" thus, it would allow me to really answer the question and talk about the hardware and software that I used throughout the project. Other questions like the production process could also be answered so I think it is a smart play on my end and Cambridge will like it because at the end of the day it is called a "CREATIVE critical reflection".
