Practice Extract Essay

The author's vision for that part of the movie was intense. The whole extract felt tense and serious. The author did a good job of doing that because all the characters were very serious during the scenes. 

The first scene starts off with dialogue between the interrogator and the woman. There is a zoom on the clock and the camera to show the viewer that there are other people watching and that time was very important. With all these factors the scene becomes very intense and serious. After some dialogue, the camera cuts to other people watching the interrogation then cuts back after. 

In the second scene, there is a bit more. The viewer can tell that the interrogator is more serious, and you can tell because there is a close-up shot on him, and you can very clearly see his emotions. Also, he flips the table out of anger but the woman still remains calm. But a little after flipping the table she charges at the woman who is in her chair and pushes her against the wall and starts choking her and then other people must come into the room and stop him. 

The director's vision must be intensity all the way because that is what the whole scene is. Everyone is serious and it just feels so tense and there is no happiness whatsoever. It is just pure seriousness. 

Final Task CCR

This is my CCR for my final task. It is a twelve-minute long video. It goes over the four CCR questions. I am answering the four questions that there are. I go over things like conventions and real media texts. I also go over how I used technology and how my production skills have improved. Along with that, I also just go over stuff I did during the project. I also go back and reference previous projects and talk about how it has affected me. I will talk about how the stuff I learned in those projects helped me this time. But this project was definitely the most work out of all of them.

This project was our last filming project. But with the CCR I had to edit that a bit before I put it onto my blog. I had to make sure that I talked long enough during each question. This is because the CCR had to be at least twelve minutes. But I did a fine job of talking about each topic as much as possible. But there were some of the questions that I talked about more than others. This is because there was just more to talk about some of them. The one asking about how I integrated technology I definitely talked about the most. It was just so easy to talk about because there was so much to talk about. Also, some of them there was just a short answer and that was it so I would have to drag the question and the answer on longer than it really needed to be. But overall the CCR went good.

Final Task Movie

Below is my final task which is a movie. It is the final recording project that we have this year. It is about two minutes long. It was our third filming project of the year. The two previous ones which were a commercial and a music video helped prepare us for this movie. This project was definitely a lot more work than the other two projects. But because we had more experience with this project. This project helped my production skills improve by a lot. It was also a good experience. But the movie went good overall during production.

Final Exam Re-edit

If we refilmed anything for our movie my partner and I would have to re-edit. But we did not reshoot any scenes from our movie. But if we had, since we cannot meet up. We probably would have just worked on it over a video chat. But corona has made it so that no one can meet up. No one can even leave their house. This is probably affecting other groups badly. Thankfully we had already finished our movie before corona. But the virus has affected everyone and all of my classes. But it has not affected this one that much.

But corona has made it hard to do anything. But the CCR is individual. This means that I do not have to worry about meeting up with my partner because we can do this from our own houses. But this virus has changed a lot of things. It is making it harder for people to do their work and do what they need to do. Even though corona makes it harder to do things, it is still important to stay home. But for the rest of the project, I can do whatever I need to from home. Even if we could go out I probably would not need to. For this project at least. But my partner and I have nothing to re-edit.

Final Exam Reshoot

There was not much for us to reshoot if anything. But if we were to find something my partner and I could not refilm. This is because of the corona. We cannot really go anywhere. But I do not think that there is anything that we will need to refilm. Thankfully we got every scene right on the first try. It would have been bad if we didn't. This is because we would not be able to do and reshoots anymore. Since we don't have any reshoots, we probably won't have to reedit anything. But that is a lot less work for us.

Not having to do re-edits or reshoots saves us a lot of time. This means we can spend a lot of time and really focus on our CCR. This will probably benefit our grades. This is because we don't have to worry about reshoots and make sure our CCR is good. Another reason we are not doing reshoots is that we feel confident in our movie. There are only a couple scenes we thought about reshooting. But we did not think that we needed to. After thinking about it we thought they were fine the way they were and that we did not need to redo them or reshoot them. But even if we did redo those couple scenes we don't think that it would make a difference. But we definitely saved a lot of time with not reshooting.

Final Task (Corona)

It has been hard to work on my project. This is because of coronavirus. We do not go back to school until April 15th at the earliest. This would stop me from filming our movie. My partner and I cannot meet up to film if needed. Thankfully if we need to edit we can call each other to work on that. This might also negatively affect other groups. We are still able to film our CCR. We can do that individually. The CCR for this project has to be a movie.

The virus limits what my partner and I can do. But the CCR is individual so that is why we will still be able to do that. We are hoping that this will not negatively impact our project. We do not think it will. But this virus certainly came at a bad time. We have got most of our project done anyway. We should be ok. Thankfully the coronavirus did not get in our way. We are going to be able to finish up what we need to. Even without meeting up.

Filming Blog 3 Final Exam

All of our filming is done. We filmed all of our scenes. It took a few hours to do all of them. When we filmed the scenes we followed the storyboard. This really helped us and made the whole filming process easier. We had 10 storyboard sheets. We had to fill all of them up and then film all them. It took a while to fill in all of the storyboard sheets. This is because we had to come up with pictures for each scene. But having the storyboard made filming the movie much easier.

The camera was not charged when we had to film. Instead we used Julia's phone to film. This did not make a difference in how the movie turned out. We also edited on our phones. We didn't use the tripod either because we used the phone. The phone didn't fit in the tripod. Julia did most of the filming. I did a little bit of the filming. She did not have that many scenes in the movie. She ended up directing most of the movie.
