END OF THE YEAR REFLECTION P.3

I felt like the silent film was the least useful unit. It was least useful because I didn't learn anything useful.

END OF THE YEAR REFLECTION P.2

 The unit I enjoyed most was the sound effects project because it made me more knowledgable on a weak area for me.  The project was also the most fun I had because it was fun trying to complete a vision I had. I would still like to learn more about audio as much as I can because its still very difficult for me. I feel like theres nothing needed to be improved on this unit.

END OF THE YEAR REFLECTION P.1

I'm not proud of any of my videos because it seems like theres always potential and I never quite fulfill it because of something. I can't tell 3 things that I can do to prevent it but I do learn something new everytime I do a project.

INOCENTE - 2014 OSCAR WINNER BEST SHORT DOCUMENTARY

This documentary is so impactful due to the gritty realness of the setting. She's talking into a camera and just speaking. One of the ways that the film makers communicated the struggle was the way she was talking to the camera. She is talking directly to the viewers. They also have her go on her everyday life. Its really real and heartbreaking to view that. They used great lighting, audio and b-roll but it never was too showy. It always stayed genuine throughout the whole documentary.

IF I DIE ON MARS

The techniques they used for this is odd. You can hear the person asking questions. These weren't in the keynote. The three techniques that we learned during the keynote that they used was lots of b-roll. The positioning of the camera and lots of voice over. They made this effective because they had a topic that was very interesting.

THEO JANSEN'S STRANDBEESTS

Is documentary is different because it has a narrator talking most of the time. Its also different because there isn't really a theme or driving questions. Its basically just really interesting information. The used a lot of interesting camera work. We light him perfectly and used plenty of B-roll.  This documentary uses them effectively by applying these techniques carefully.

REINVENTION OF NORMAL MINI DOC

This documentary is different because because its a very corky subject. Its not as serious as most documentary that we have seen The three techniques were a lot of were a lot of b roll, the lighting and the movements of the camera. They achieve this by being very careful because it looked great. They used a lot if animation.
