From One to I'm definitely winning an Oscar...This is what I thought.

The Final Countdown 

6. Crowdsourcing
I really liked the outcome and everything, but I think our video ideas as a class could've been better. Also, it was really difficult to get people to help me. I think the idea is cool, but in reality, it's not as easy as it sounds.

5. Multi-Plane Animation
The thing about this assignment is that it is very time-consuming, and I'm not the biggest fan of those kind of projects. Also, my group was not prepared; therefore, I have a super weird video that I can't decide whether to be proud of or not. Regardless, this was a cool thing to try out, but I wish I had a better idea of what we were doing beforehand.

4. Direct Film Manipulation
This project was fun and fairly easy. I really like magazine transfers, and I liked the theme of the elements, and I also liked collaborating with a partner. However, I'm just not the biggest fan of purely experimental film. The images are cool, but I find it kind of boring. Working with film for the first time was a great experience though.

3. Bolex Long-Take
My group's project went very smoothly and we have an awesome product. However, my group in particular had a bunch of very talented boys that kind of ball-hogged the creative aspects of our assignment. Like I said, I'm happy with everything, but I just like to be more involved.

2. Freestyle
I like this project because of the limited restrictions. Full creativity is encouraged. However, I'm just not too satisfied with my visual image. I like my sound, but I wish I had a stronger video with a climax and clearer images. Snapchat videos are too bad though.

1. Rhythmic Edit 
My favorite project was the rhythmic edit. I filmed my friend hoop dancing and I absolutely love my video. The editing pattern was fun to work with. I even incorporated a little bit of this editing style into my freestyle project. I think these are very interesting videos.

Let's shoot this: Saturday Shoot

Project: Bolex Long-Take
My group: Zach, Wilks, Kevin, and other McKayla.
Week: 11/12
Location: Hoggard Hall Field 

So we have Kevin wearing a tan trench coat, hat, sunglasses, and two water guns. Then there's Wilks in a black trench coat, hat sunglasses, and two water guns. So obviously we have ourselves a classical Mexican stand-off between these two amigos. 

Our Saturday shoot went really well. Much better than I expected actually. Everything went smoothly and fast. We got out of there quick and satisfied. If you know what I mean. 
Seeing the reverse negative image was really cool and really worked perfectly with our film. Wilks and Kevin did a great job on camera, and I love the way the contrast each other. 

Overall, I enjoyed this project and our film. I would've liked to been more involved (the boys pretty much took over), but it's all good. I did my part, and I'm happy with our results. 

[I like it] Rough (Theatre)

"Rough" is defined as: 

• having an uneven or irregular surface; not smooth or level.

• not gentle; violent or boisterous.

• in a manner that lacks gentleness; harshly or violently.

"Theatre" is defined as: 

• a building or outdoor area in which plays and other dramatic performances are given.

• the activity or profession of acting in, producing, directing, or writing plays.

• a play or other activity or presentation considered in terms of its dramatic quality.

• In our readings, I would say that "rough theatre" refers to experiencing every spectacle we see as a show, and the place or object that is presenting the performance is now considered a theatre. 

• A theater doesn't have to be a fancy building that requires educated, sophisticated, wealthy people. A theater is any setting, formal or informal, that showcases a performance of spectacle. 

• Energy really determines the outcome of the show, despite the apparent theater. In fact, energy is a part of the environment of the performance. 

• I would say my rough theater would probably be Facebook. I post most of my creations, whether film, poetry, or photography and use my page as an exhibit for my work.
