Final Reflection

Early in the year, I learned the importance of following the rule of thirds. You can see that in my first film, I didn't do this, especially when some of our interviewees were in the center of our shots. On my second project, I learned how to apply music in a certain scene. A scene that shows this well is in the film called "Prototype Movie Project","Real Movie Project", and "Final Movie Project"(there was no actual title because we could not think of one), when the bully arrived in the scene and was assaulting the nerd. The music was intense because the scene was quick and violent. Later in the year, I showed that I really had learned that concept well, since I showed this in other projects. One good example is from "The Amazing Spider-Man Spoof Trailer", when the music was in sync with the progression of the film by beat and rhythm. That was a fun project because it encompassed everything that I have learned into one video. I was very proud of its editing and of course the music because I chose it specifically for this project. Other things that I have learned are the many varieties of shots and angles, applying special effects, using both video and audio transitions, editing, teamwork/cooperation, how to act for videos, never to chew gum on camera, and to have confidence in your work. I was able to apply everything I learned from this class into other projects for different classes. Overall, this was an enjoyable class and made many friends who have a passion in the video industry. I only wish that I could take this class again for my enjoyment and also to have the chance to learn new things.
