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.

LETTER TO YOURSELF

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...

Hair lights separate the subject from the background. It makes the body pop out and frame the subject. The key is the most important light. It is the strongest light that is hitting the subject. 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.

SHOOTING OUTDOORS

What are 3 considerations you must keep in mind when shooting outdoors? How would you use a reflector? Why? 3 considerations to keep in mind while shooting outdoors is that the subject has to adjust to the light so they aren't constantly squinting. The reflector is usually used to even out harsh shadows and give better lighting. There are two sides to it. One has a more metallic look and the other side is white which makes the reflection softer.
