As we started on the storyboard, both my partner and I established when exactly each one of the six shots would be used. For example, an extreme close up of the locker combination leading to an over the shoulder shot of the locker's interior. It was a challenge, as close-ups were not as common as a typical medium shot. But, through this project and the previous film, I've been able to put everything together in a non-repetitive way. Brainstorming was a smooth task to be completed as my partner and I get along well. My sketching ability is not so great, compared to my partners', which is evident by taking a look at our storyboard. Although, my basic drawing was able to get our storyboard process done quickly and on to the filming portion of the project.  After we filmed, I was able to get some time editing during class. My recent relationship with Premier has been a bit rocky, due to glitches and endless loading. But despite the constant eye...

          In the beginning of the project, my group started off well, brainstorming ideas for our storyboard before assigning roles. For this project, I was able to work with the camera, and my other group members were able to be the characters in the video and also working the camera. Luckily, we worked so quickly that we were fortunate enough to start early on the filming process. After shooting all clips necessary, we moved on to the editing stage. At first, I admit, I was a bit confused getting used to the new software, but after watching the short video clip, I easily was able to start the project. Within my group, we decided on who would be doing what, which worked out smoothly, and we each were able to do what we wanted.           This project will give me a professional advantage in both the technical and collaboration fields. Through this, I was able to learn more about sharing files, and getting used to Mac and Adobe sof...

As our team began to go through the lists of symbol ideas, we decided that none of them really suited our group. For a while, we were stuck and didn't know exactly what to do. Until out of no where, one of my group members announced the idea of a cheesecake, with absolutely no meaning behind it. Why, you may ask? I still have no idea. But as we started working on the idea, we each incorporated our own "symbols" that meant something to us. It was decided that there would be a normal cheesecake, which would be the focal point of the flag, surrounded by a music note, and for a strange reason, a fidget spinner cutting the slice. Our group (center table) brainstorming symbol ideas . While we thought of ideas, our team luckily got along. During the first day, we sketched the flag and talked about possible color ideas along the way. The process ran smoothly, with no major disagreements and we used our time to erase things that we didn't think we wanted. Overall, t...
