Finished Project Feelings


    
When thinking about all the hardships and laughs I've had with my teammates for the past three months, I am quite proud of our film. Although it changed drastically from the original, I believe it still covers the grounds I wanted it to. Things like the audio corrupting and the issues editing really made me take a step back and problem solve myself before asking for help. It was this that helped me grow as the editor and director.
    A lot of changes were made throughout the filming of our movie opener. Like renaming Faelon to Tristan, and deleting the entire second scene for time issues, were really discouraging for me since I really worked hard for these elements only for someone to say it wasn't going to be in the film. This was especially tiring when after writing the original script, I then had to rewrite it myself.
    I poured my heart and skill into making the best film I could since I hate doing anything without 100%. I learned to rely on myself and to take matter into my own hands while making film. So I hope you enjoy the film as much as I did.

Movie Analysis: Coraline       In the “Passage to them Other World” scene, you can see a variety of angles used. For example , the tilted angle when she chases the little mouse to the tiny door connecting to the Other World , it provides a n odd essence to the scene. You can see all the different angles of the mouse, upside down, sides, and right side up. In an odd way, it also foreshadows the backwards place he brings Coraline. As the scene continues you can a POV shot while she crawls through the tunnel in the small door. It gives an almost magical effect, and it gives you the feeling as if you are crawling through it yourself.

Movie Opener Brainstorm and Research

 Movie Opening 1: RISE      This movie opening about a kid seemingly practicing for a soccer match and proceeds to stare down the seemingly opponent. Natural lighting is use throughout the film. Various close ups are used to show the importance of the objects and movements. One key close up seems to be of the main character and his opponent. This seems to be a classic "who will win?" scene.     The most influential part of this film that had on my group project was the lighting. I like the natural lighting coming from the sun outside. I plan on having most of my film outdoors for the bright and joyful light that the sun provides. Movie Opening 2: Dear Lover     In this short film, it is about a girl who ran away from home because her lover's family had such a good relationship with her, and she knew they would never accept her lover. A somber tone is felt throughout the whole film. In the end, she and her lover are sitting by the lake, contemplati...
