| If you could work on this film (change it), what would you change and why? | I think I would have changed how this movie was in one day. I would have made it more evident to the viewer that it was one single day than having a span of several things that made it seem like it was more than one day. |

As you view films, consider how the cuts, camera angles, shots, and movement work to create particular meanings. Think about how they establish space, privilege certain characters, suggest relationships, and emphasize themes. In addition to shot distances, angles, editing, and camera movement, note details of the narrative, setting, characters, lighting, props, costume, tone, and sound.
Ask yourself the following questions:
| TOPIC | YOUR NOTES |
| 1. Who is the protagonist? | |
| 2. Who is the antagonist? | |
| 3. What is the conflict? | |
| 4. What is the theme or central, unifying concept? (summarize in one or two words) | |
| 5. How is the story told (linear, non-linear, with flashbacks, flash-forwards, at regular intervals) | |
| 6. What “happens” in the plot (Brief description)? | |
| 7. How does the film influence particular reactions on the part of viewers (sound, editing, characterization, camera movement, etc.)? Why does the film encourage such reactions? |
|
| 8. Is the setting realistic or stylized? What atmosphere does the setting suggest? Do particular objects or settings serve symbolic functions? | |
| 9. How are the characters costumed and made-up? What does their clothing or makeup reveal about their social standing, ethnicity, nationality, gender, or age? How do costume and makeup convey character? | |
| 10. How does the lighting design shape our perception of character, space, or mood? | |
| 11. How do camera angles and camera movements shape our view of characters or spaces? What do you see cinematically? | |
| 12. What is the music’s purpose in the film? How does it direct our attention within the image? How does it shape our interpretation of the image? What stands out about the music? | |
| 13. How might industrial, social, and economic factors have influenced the film? Describe how this film influences or connects to a culture? | |
| 14. Give an example of what a film critic had to say about this film. Use credible sources and cite sources.
Example: “The Shawshank Redemption Movie Review (1994) | Roger Ebert.” All Content. N.p., n.d. Web. 24 June 2015. |
|
| 15. Select one scene no longer than 5 minutes that represents well the whole film and shows relevant cinematic elements. Write a one-sentence description of the scene and record the time of the scene.
Example: from 1:05:00 to 1:10:00. Explain why you chose this scene. |
PLACE THE TIME STAMP FROM THE SCENE HERE… Example: 00:00:00 – 00:05:00

Summary
Plan:
Having a good amount of editing experience in the past I was expecting to go into this knowing everything that would be thrown at me but I discovered the nitty-gritty specifics of how to make a fluid and strong interview. Using the morph cut and B-roll for the first time proved to be valuable and I am looking forward to using these in the future.
Songwriter/Vocals/Mixer

Cinematographer

To be determined.
To be determined.
We figured out what and where we wanted to film and it took some time to figure out the footprint of where and what we wanted to do for our film. We struggled with some of the clips of our film where a part of our film where the chocolate was thrown we ended up accidentally breaking the chocolate.
I communicated with my team about what we needed to do, how many cameras we would need, and how everyone should have fun in the film together. I also let my team know the days we would have the best time to work and when I was gone from school which I informed them about. I had Jimmie help with filming with the several cameras so I didn’t have to juggle things on my own.
I used my cellphone to take pictures of where we were gonna put our tripods so we could film in the same spots we practiced putting our cameras and did fake scenes for our film so we would know what we wanted to finish for our film instead of filming not knowing what we were gonna do.
This helped me learn more about film and how we can develop more of what we wanted to do for our film instead of filming right away and just doing takes that weren’t as serious as my past films. We worked hard communicating with each other and what we needed in our film which helped me express my part in our film.
The film was really put together, and the cinematography went well together – James Clark
I am really proud of our film and what we made. We all worked together really well with communicating with each other for our film and what we need and it was really helpful being able to not know what we were doing and had a game plan. We were determined to finish our film even if we couldn’t get some parts of it.

He seems like he didn’t in body the character
Woman in Citizen Kane was a gold-digger
he used over million of dollars to get her in movies and her name was Marion Davies

FUN FACT: Orson Welles, he gave away his Oscar. Welles won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Citizen Kane in 1941. While filming The Other Side of the Wind in 1970, which was never finished, Welles was unable to afford to pay his cinematographer Cary Graver. He gave Graver his only Oscar as payment.
Roles: Lyricist/Vocals/Guitarist
By May 27th, I will have written one song that I want to put on my ep/album. I will be able to achieve that by songwriting, looking at Love me more by Sam Smith, and drawing inspiration from that. I will do this by practicing and writing down and finding the right guitar chords to play to my song.
I had a hard way of thinking of lyrics that fit me but I realized that if I played around with the words I wanted to put in the song, they would work together. I think that was a very beautiful way to my way of poetry.
I worked on this alone song but I think a beautiful way I worked around my writer’s block is just writing any little idea down or recording it
I worked towards just showing what my final product was and how to present it and be okay to finally show the final result of just having a fun time, letting loose, and not being so tough on myself.

I’m very proud of what I’ve been able to produce as a song, it’s been a while since I wrote a song to start to finish so I think this project was very helpful to get out of the writer’s block I’ve been in.

I will show evidence of Recorded ADR &/or Sound Effects in Premiere Pro or WeVideo by following the instructions in ADR for Beginners
I missed a ton of school, and I communicated to my team that I wouldn’t be there. Granted we were doing ADR and they would have needed sound for the last week and I made it there. Thankfully the sound was okay ish.
Zoom audio Deck & fuzzy microphone
This showed me that even with having a short amount of time cause I missed several days, we have to continue to keep doing the work that was left when I first started it and make it by the due date cause it’s important. I’m glad we met the deadline and got to finish all the work we needed as a team.
“Sound was quiet but it was overall a pretty okay” – Evan
“Louder sound in the film and equal out the volume” -Bryce
“letting sound be more natural and not too fast” -Peter
Given the time I had to get the sounds and did not know how to use the tech to record. It was super decent for the first try and I’m proud of it. For my first time being a sound designer was a really go try. Doing this project made me realize the fun I have doing a different role.
