Criteria: Group Movie Project
1. Describe your role in the production of the class movie. How did your contribution make things more efficient? How did you help make the movie better? What specific contributions did you make? Did you go above and beyond, or simply show up? Be honest.
Most of the time, i was an extra in the movie. Which was honestly just a freak, schizophrenic kid in the corner. Even though i didn't have lines, i think that the weirdness of my character (along with Neely's character) gave the movie some originality. One day, i helped direct the movie in the lunchroom scene. It was hard at times to get everyone to listen to you, but i think that i tried my best to atleast make the scenes flow.
2. Describe one or more things you learned about the writing process that you did not know before working on this project.
It takes a lot of organization to make a film work. You have to take into consideration all the props your gonna need for each scene, the extras, and of course the script. I think that writing them all out really helped everyone to collaborate in the film.
3. Describe one or more things you learned about the production (filming) process that you did not know before working on this project.
While your filming, you have to think about the film as a whole. If you film one scene wrong, it could confuse the entire film or make the clips not flow at all. Also, you need a lot of people helping out. Otherwise you're going to end up using the same five people as extras for the whole movie.
4. Describe one or more things you learned about the post-production (editing, sound, etc.) process that you did not know before working on this project.
A lot of the time, what you think is gonna look awesome in your mind, doesn't flow at all. You have to have a significant amount of "b roll" so the movie makes sense, or doesn't chop from scene to scene. Also, we needed extra recordings to make the movie seem more realistic.
5. Are you satisfied with the final product? Why or why not? Be honest.
I am satisfied with final product. At first, i was kinda worried that the idea wouldn't work. although, in the end i realized that it was pretty funny, and at the same time creative. The editing went very well, and people came up with clever editing ideas that i wouldnt have thought of on my own. For example, the montage scene shooting back to the outdoor scene ended up making the continuity of the film much better.
Suggest one improvement for next year’s class. What could I do to make it easier/better/more informative/more fun?
Find a way to get people to get more involved. Maybe more extras involved, or make the extras have specific characters, so the people in the background arent just standing around. although, most of that is their own fault for not trying.
