Reflection

The end has come...

So we are finally arriving at the final step its time to create our critical reflection video. This video is supposed to show and demonstrate how much I have grown through the process and what I have learned.

I feel like this project has helped me grow so much as a creator since before I had never fully recorded and edited a film. This portfolio project gave me this opportunity. I had a background in both directing and editing, but this was the final test. I had to go from beginner to professional. Recording this opening showed me many things that helped me grow as a producer. Then in the editing process, I learned many techniques and how to uses certain tools I had available. 

The CCR will show me how I have developed from being to end. It is crazy to think that we are already wrapping up. I perfectly recall the nerves I felt the moment the teacher mention their project, my anxiety really shot to the sky, it crazy to think that now its all over. Well almost...

Now I have to start to plan my CCR, how I'm going to do it and how I'm going to stand out for the Creative aspect of the video.

I have been thinking about this for a while and after viewing a few examples that the teacher showed us and after researching and answering the 4 questions I received. I got it!! I have the perfect idea of how I want to show my growth that this portfolio has brought to my life. I can't wait to share with you guys!

Distribution

Where will our film opening be available?

Sooooo, we finally finished!!!

Our film is done and now we are going to decide where we want to distribute it.

First, we are going to post it on youtube since it is a way that many creators expand their viewers, and people get to know them. This is a very good way to reach a mass audience. This allows marketing for our film since many if they like it share it with their friends and family. Many teenagers use this platform, so this is a greater and free way to reach our target audience.

Then, obviously, we are going to give you guys the exclusive preview since the opening will be posted here before it's posted on youtube since you guys have been so supportive and have kept up with everything. We are going to allow you all to see it first.

Also, we would try to get our film to be shown at a film festival, since this is a great way to meet other people doing small creations like us, and helps us expand our network to others. We are still not sure which festivals are available but we are for sure going to look into that.

Marketing Strategies

We are going to market our videos through many platforms of social media especially, Instagram since it's the main platform that reaches our target audience. We would post our video here as an IGTV for people to see it and promote our account. 

Sound

What Music?

So I texted Valley Palace, a small artist that creates music with no words, so I thought this would be perfect for our project. He gave me the right to use his music for my project.

I saw that my friend used him for his project too so I decided to check him out because I don't really know that many small artists. Since I saw that she answered my friend I decided to give him a shot. I really like his music and I decided to use the song, called 'Do over' I felt like this song fit the best with my film.

Also, there are other sounds like a phone ring that was done folly with my phone and a Virus New announcement that was done by Helbert Villa. Other than that is the dialogue that was recorded on set and also the background noises are natural from the recording. 

Blog: Recording Day

Recording Day!!

The day we all have been waiting is here. We were finally able to record, Sofi, Helbert, and Cami came to my house right after school and we recorded most of the afternoon. It was super fun and shout out to Helbert and Sofi who literally saved us, they were the best actors and were super cooperative and efficient. We finished thanks to them and we wouldn't have been able to do it without them. Today was such an amazing day and tomorrow we start the editing process so we will keep you guys updated with that. After completing the editing we begin the CCR which is the reflection process.

I'm so excited to share this amazing video its really short but because we didn't want to spill too much about our actual movie.  Tomorrow will show you guys how we are going with the editing and hopefully soon will be able to show you the complete film opening. This process has been so fun and my partner and I are so happy that we can share this with you guys. Hope you guys are as excited as we are for our final results!!
