Poetic Film

Image
Planning- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LmY9TpYpaOJtFj3pmg2MI0vLAOFc3sqrd3Yv3f2aRAk/edit I found the poetic film project very fun to make. At first, I was going to use a poem I'd already written for my English class, but it would be difficult to record the B-roll for the theme of the poem, so I tried to think of something else and I came up with the Ides of writing my poem about nature. After I was done with my poem, I went out to record around my neighborhood. I gathered some b-roll and added to some clips I already had on my cellphone. I believe that the most successful part of this project was collecting the b-roll because I had a lot of footage of the nature on my phone already. The least successful part of this project was probably writing the poem, I could've improved it by studying better poem structures and how to rhyme, although it is not necessary, I think it would sound better. From this project, I learned how to improve my poem writing skills, find beauty in l...

Film for Internet

For this project, I started by making a list of interesting topics I could make my video about. After that, I ended up deciding to make an art tutorial because it was something I really enjoyed. I planned all the steps such as the necessary materials, the sketch, I set up my space to record, the light, and the camera.   I Believe that the most successful part of this project was the editing, putting clips together, and adding the voice over, because even though I wasn't able to edit o my computer I think it turned out good on my iPad too.  The least successful part of this project was probably the variety of shots and the positioning of the camera. To improve that I could have used more than one camera, shoot it from different angles, and use a tripod. From this project I learned how to make a tutorial video on something that I enjoy doing for YouTube and social media.

Good Will Hunting critique

Image
Good Will Hunting is a psychological drama narrative directed by Gus Van Sant and released in 1997, starring Matt Damon as Will, Ben Affleck as Chuckie, Robin Williams as Sean, Minnie Driver as Skylar, and Stellan Skarsgard as Professor Lambeau. Good Will Hunting tells the story of a young genius that hasn't achieved his full potential. Will is discovered by a college professor as he effortlessly solves one of the hardest math problems to ever exist. The professor then does everything to work with him, but he finds out that his temper is not that easy to handle. The film's main message is that one can only fully achieve their potential when in balance with their feelings and emotions. Good Will Hunting is a good example of a three-act structure. The first act introduces the story's setting and characters, which in this case takes place when Will is cleaning the hallway and sees the math problem and solves it. Act one resolves when professor Lambeau takes Will out of prison ...

Art Show Film

Script Sample - Full Script Here    At first, I was having a hard time coming up with ideas for the film, but as I was talking with William, I remembered a book that I once read called  'One of Us is Lying',  and that was where I got my inspiration for the script. In the book five characters go to detention; The nerd, the dealer, the popular girl, the baseball player, and Simon, the character that dies during detention. Up to the end, the book builds this mystery on who killed Simon and shows the personal side of each character while they are being investigated. When we set up the overall idea of the film we partnered with Morgan and Emiro to elaborate more on the script. We ended up recycling some of the characters and putting a twist on the story. Ben Richards (the nerd) was played by Will, Jessica Hart (the dealer) was played by Morgan, Ricardo Alvarez (the football player) was played by Emiro, and Michelle Diaz (the snitch who dies) was played by me. We each...
