Next Semester

Well, It's the end of the semester (Almost). After attempting to register, to no avail, I'm in one class and on the wait list in 4. I will be contacting all the professors and trying real hard to get into all the classes. It's stressful that I have only have 2 more gen ed classes so those classes are my only option. We will see what happens.

Wild Card Crew Position

I am the DP! I'm so excited to be the DP for this final project. I plan to incorporate a lot of different techniques and styles for this project to give it the disjointed feeling created by the reflexive nature of the mocumentary. For the opening "Hollywoodish" scene I will be using my Canon 7D to shoot with a very flat profile image for post grading and will be cropping the image to a 2:35 aspect ratio. Then the rest of the project will be shot in a documentary/office style. For this I'm using the Sony Nex VG20 to get that real world documenting feel. We will also be incorporating interviews and oh yea, I'll be acting in it too.

Editing sound for 3b

Hillary and I had a blast editing. Even though our original title was stollen from us (*cough* *cough*) we still managed to put our heads together creatively and create a sound scape that embodied, Check Fit, Then Dent. It took us little time to figure out our idea then we went through all of the libraries and individually listened to each track over. We marked which ones we liked and then the madness insued. We created something better than we originally thought we could create.

Sound Recording

My group was extremely busy for our sound recording project. We couldn't find a time for all of us to collectively go out and record sound together. However, Hillary was amazing and coordinated for all of us to get the recording equipment and experiment individually. I feel like everyone in the group took something away from having to do the sound on their own. For me I learned that my closet i a great place to record screaming and weird noises.

Master Shot editing

The Master Shot group I got couldn't have been any better. I really enjoyed my group and I believe the final project shows. As for editing, I tried to give everyone a chance to edit. I cut together the piece and gave the sound and other editing to Jessica and Grace. I feel like they had just as much fun editing as I did and we had a lot of laughs doing it. It was in the back of my mind shooting that this was suppose to be the MASTER SHOT. But, like any film set, problems arise and when we came up with creative decisions the Master Shot Sequence was far from our minds. I think we salvaged it a little though by taking the title and putting it where the Master Shot sequence starts.

Curve balls

  This week has been rather up in the air for my group. We did our vox pops last week and it was like slicing butter, quick and easy. We were in downtown Wilmington for maybe 30 minutes and had all the vox pops footage we needed. We had our interview scheduled and ready to go. Then this last Friday our interviewee told us she was sick and couldn't do the interview, so we rescheduled for Monday. Then, Monday, she told us she wasn't allowed to do an interview because of the company she worked for.
  Everything we had planned was in shambles and so were we. Scrambling we found a new interviewee and now we are ready to shoot our expert interview Friday. Hopefully it will be as smooth as our vox pops were.
