Starting the final task

Through the previous two projects, the commercial and the music video, I feel like I have improved a lot. I now know what to expect from the planning, filming and editing processes and how to prepare for the inevitable problems we will encounter. I am working with the same group as the previous projects, Joshua and Breanna. We discussed getting into different groups, but in the end we decided to stick together. This is because we know what to expect with one another, even if we don't always get along. Before we started planning, we talked to each other to try and improve our teamwork, which will hopefully have an affect on the quality of our work. Lastly, we decided to shuffle our jobs around when filming. For the first two projects, Joshua and I were actors, while Breanna was the camera woman. This time, Breanna will be the main actress, I will film and Josh will play a larger part in the editing process.

For this project I have several things I want to change. Firstly, I think having different versions of the same shot was very useful from the last project, so we should do the same thing. Next, we need a better story board. On the last projects we didn't have a clear storyboard and so we didn't stick to it. This made us lose points on our final grading, which is something to be avoided this time. Additionally, we should defiantly use a tripod to film instead of a mono-pod which made it hard to get stable footage when editing. Of course, the stabilization footage helped minimize the shaking footage, but it wasn't perfect and should only be used in extreme cases. Of course, we always need to take more than one shot of everything. During the music video's filming process we rushed on some shots and only took one. This ended, predictably, with that one shot being blurry.

Our first pitch is simple and straight forward. He never wanted to go back, and he thought he got out, but in reality he never left. While easy to follow, my main issue with it is that there isn't much to in the plot department that we've worked on, unlike our other pitches. Our second pitch is a bit more interesting. Step One: Find the Chosen One. Step Two: Make Them Fix Our Problems. Step Three: ... Find Another Chosen One. While formatted strangely, it gives way to many ideas.

Our final pitch is more modern. They made me forget, I guess I'll have to be more subtle next time. I'm back baby! This pitch is about a villain reawakening their powers. We feel like we could use more interesting filming techniques with it, like maybe from the first person!!
