Silent Film Status

What is the status of your Silent Film? What was successful? What were some challenges? What did you feel were the biggest flaws of the final product?

I am still not yet finished with my Silent Film. I found that some of our costumes were successful but I don't think they were well thought out. Some challenges we faced as a group were communication and planning. Members of our group did not contribute as much as we had hoped. People flaked out last minute on our project on days that were important. The days we did end up filming turned out to be much harder seeing as we did not plan things out in detail. Finding a location was also difficult. Our first location was the one we were most excited about but we came off as disrespectful to the people at the location and we did not have everything planned out as well. My biggest flaw in this project was contributing my input on how we executed our project. This leaves me with a product that I am not fully proud of.  I also feel like I'm not a very strong actor so that lowers the quality of my group members' products. The continuity of my hair is also a flaw in our film.

Fill lights even out the shadows. The key light is usually closest to the subject. The fill light is twice as far from the subject.

LETTER TO YOURSELF

Look back at your experience over the last two years here at Film/Video Production. Reflect on what you've learned, accomplished, the friends you've made and compose a letter to yourself on the first day of class in the beginning class. Imagine that this letter couple be delivered to yourself on that day and he/she could read it. What advice would you give your past self? Would you tell them they are going to have a great experience? What would you warn them about? Dear Angela from the beginning of second semester,       Here is some advice before going into this class: don't let being the new student stop you from expressing your opinions. The people in this class are very open and welcoming. Don't be afraid of them. They probably won't judge you for having ideas. It's okay to be wrong. It's better to say something than say nothing. You know more than you think you may know. This class is going to be a lot of fun but also really stressful. Be prepare...

The Boom Microphone

Summarize 3 different key functions of a boom microphone that you picked up from this short video. What is one question you still have on how to operate a boom? Three different key functions I learned from this video: boom mics are good at picking up quality audio from different angles. It works best for closeup shots because the boom mic can be as close as it can be to the talent. It is also important for the mic to always be pointed at the subjects' mouth and not their general direction or at the top of their head.
