OMF

For the One Word Film project, we worked in pairs. Each pair was assigned a word, and using that word, we created a short film to represent its meaning. Throughout the filming process, we applied various camera shots, angles, and editing techniques to help shape and convey our story.

While brainstorming, we decided to develop a concept with the word pessimistic. We created this story where a girl is struggling to remember her dance, feeling anxious when the judge appears, showing many scenes of her overthinking the dance. During this brainstorming we visioned a girl on stage and a very strict judge. 

When finishing the storyboard. It helped us shape the time line of the story and also the shots and angles we were trying to convey. With all of this combined we were able to struck a story in one. 

Editing resources I utilized was Adobe Express SSO- only. I thought It was a simple way to construct the storyline with the videos you made. Also editing was very smooth and easy to cut.

Things I have done well are analyzing the angles and shots that need to be taken. What I would like to improve is making the videos more smooth and capturing the message of the story well.

Camera shottt

For our first project in class, I was asked to create a storyboard with different shots and angles in storytelling in an attempt to tell a brief story. My project was a school sequence in which I, Gianna, was the main character who was taking a test while one other student, Malia, is struggling and considering cheating. I utilized a variety of shots to represent meaning: an establishing shot opened up the school setting, mid shots placed the two of us within the same space, close ups contrasted my intense calmness with Malia's anxiety, and an extreme close up with a point of view shot revealed her act of cheating. Finally, I used a canted angle to highlight her confusion after being caught. I think I did a good job of selecting shots that matched the emotions of each scene, especially the close-ups and the canted shot, which added drama to the ending. If there's something I could improve on, I'd make the transition between the shots more streamlined, cut down on repetition in my description, and create a visual storyboard so as to make the sequence more engaging.
