I recorded a day in my life, then gathered the time data from the day to make into a Pie chart. I began editing my clips together, scripting my Narration, and then Recording my narration at home then editing that into my movie.
I procrastinate A lot and it becomes an issue with timeline projects like this.
I wrote and edited the script for this production.
I recorded audio with Jordan.
I viewed the film and reviewed editing choices with Ryley.
“I like how we showed intentional pacing”-Me
“the clock shot turned out well”-Ryley
I feel as though this script was not very artistic, it got the job done but i feel like i should have been more creative with it.
this script was quite well on the technical level, was very easy to follow during our production.
I should have added more dialogue to the script, so it would have been used in the final cut.
helped production be more efficient by moving us along quickly in between shots
don’t have one person be editor and director, these roles are quite dense on their own.

Remember reflecting on your own choices and work can help you improve both. Are there any other comments you would like to include for your own reflection? If so, please enter them here:
I assisted with adjustments to set (closing doors, moving other things, keeping people out of shots)
I implemented off-screen dialogue(collaboration With Jordan).
I formatted the shooting script to its most effective usability.
I made changes to how I labeled the type of shots needed so it was easier to follow while shooting
I made changes to my dialogue(on-site re-write heading for more details)
I took out a couple shots that we deemed unneeded as a team.
team members being absent
lost footage of shots 1-3
the reshoots turning out bad
I decided during filming that I should change my dialogue to make it more specific to what is happening in the shots
doing small tasks on Trello, tracking sheet, etc, keeping track of daily tasks, keeping up on due dates
I learned that having one person in control of the most important roles does not work out too well when they are absent a few times during production.
another thing I learned is that just because someone is experienced in a role does not mean they are good at that role.
I got some new software experience using Celtx, because this was my first time being a screen writer

I used the storyboard to write down the actions, then I wrote in some off-screen dialogue pertaining to the plot and actions. I made sure to create an intense atmosphere with my off-screen dialogue.
30. Fast-motion
34. Visual Foreshadowing
27. contrast of time
26. pacing
student stress builds as pressure from teammates and a fast-approaching due date cave in on him.
I chose to use his action-packed fast style specifically from the film Scott Pilgrim vs the World
We are achieving this effect through our shot techniques
character 1, the unnamed protagonist is a student who is in the film who has been procrastinating on his work for the production, as the due date keeps getting closer and facing pressure from their teammates they are beginning to crack under pressure.
thriller
I learned that taking film concepts from my own life leads to easy and smooth storytelling.
I found this script extremely easy to write due to my lived experience in this class.
additionally, the collaboration between my team has been extremely helpful in completing my tasks.
