Project Timeline
Jan 9-15: Pre-Production
Jan 23-Feb 1: Filming
Feb 2-3: Post-Production
Feb 4: Presentation
Proposed Budget
$0.00. There was money used as a prop, but it was redistributed back to the team members who provided it, so there was no loss of money.
PRODUCTION – ACTION
The FILM Creation
Skills Commentary
I tried to edit it to the best of my abilities with a limited amount of time. I think that I successfully showed a good line of sight between the two characters and maintained the flow of the dialogue.
POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION
21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
We had to figure out how to properly use the cameras on our own. We did alright considering we didn’t have a cinematographer.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
I collaborated closer with my director and screenwriter due to the lack of our other two members.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
The film was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro and exported using Adobe Media Encoder.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
I sort of learned how to work with a limited amount of people and time constraints.
Reactions to the Final Version
I received feedback that said that I managed to maintain a good line of sight throughout the film.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
Our cinematographer and sound designer were gone during filming. This affected the quality of our film greatly. We lost days of post-production figuring out how to properly film without our cinematographer. The audio quality was also inferior to other films due to the lack of other audio sources (besides the cameras themselves) because our sound designer was out.
Because I only had around two days to edit the film, the film remains unfinished at this point. If I had more time, or if all of my team members were here I would be able to complete the film on time.
There were more things that we wanted to do with it but were limited because of our time. For example, we were planning on using three different cameras, but after our cinematographer’s suspension, we were only able to use two cameras. Since our cinematographer was gone and the other member’s limited training with cinematography, some of the shots that we recorded had the cameras in the frame. I was going to crop it out and change the aspect ratio to 5:4 but unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time in post-production.
In the final scene where images are shown of the characters with text descriptions of what they end up doing in the future, which was parodying biopics that utilize the same technique such as The Social Network, there was supposed to be music in the background, but my sound designer didn’t have enough time to create anything that was usable.
Even in our final (not really) version, we still went over the normal runtime limit of 60 seconds. The film’s total runtime was 1 minute and 50 seconds. There was also additional footage that I was planning on releasing separately from the presentation but due to the low morale of my group, we decided against continuing this project and instead focusing on the next session.
The production of our film was executed quite poorly, all things considered.
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
I learned how to edit using Premiere Pro. I used WeVideo for the past two sessions, so this was new to me.
Most of the problems with the film were left unsolved. I had come up with solutions to the problems, I just didn’t get the chance to properly implement them.
