Reflection

     Wow blog. We have finally reached the end of this long, confusing, fun, stressful, and enlightening process. I honestly can not believe this is finally over, since the past many weeks of my life have involved working at making this film opening. It's hard to believe how much work went into just two minutes of a film, and it really made me think about how much of a meticulous process quality movie making is. 

    From finding different sound bites, to color grading specific parts of the film, setting up lighting and cameras, and blogging the whole experience, I feel like I fully immersed myself in the art of film directing and production. I've finally learned how to set up and use a camera, which I have been wanting to do for the longest time, and can now confidently do it on my own. I also learned how to use graphics, color grading, sound layering, and so many other techniques in editing that I had no idea about before. 

    Besides how much I learned in such a short amount of time, one of my favorite parts of creating this opening was working with my team. I went from being almost complete strangers with two of the girls to creating a solid friendship simply from having to come together and create a product that we were all proud of. We had to spend time outside of school planning our script, editing together, filming, and not only did it feel good to be producing our own creative work, but we had an absolute blast doing it.

    Since this is the first project I have put this much time and effort into in the world of film, I can't wait to see what the future holds for me. This has really awakened a lot of different ideas in me that now seem so much more achievable due to my new knowledge and experience that I gained through the making of this film.
