So, we have spent countless hours putting together this imovie project for my Digital Creativity class. And can I say, that I am relieved to be done! I worked with the ever committed and dedicated Jodi and Evan, who did a fabulous job editing this film so that it would be the most perfectly, poetic piece to have ever graced a blog anywhere.
I have to be honest in saying that this was the most frustrating group project I have ever worked on, what with the driving here and there to get specific film shots, the late nights, and the technical difficulties that arose while trying to work with the imovie program. Again, just so glad to be done...
What I have learned about filming a movie:
1. You can never really plan how a shot will work out, it is mostly a venture of faith
2. Filming is really involved; a lot of work goes into the perfect shot
3. The importance of lighting cannot be overstated
4. When you think you are done, you are not, how silly to have thought you were done in the first
place, there is still more to do, get back to work, YOU ARE NOT DONE!
5. I am really not that interested in filming (Although, I will continue to love watching films and appreciating the craft...)
But for now, WE ARE ACTUALLY DONE! And that is something to celebrate... probably by taking one very large nap.
Stay tuned, I will post the video and the artist statement soon.
Great visuals applied to poetry. Good job blending multiple scenes to flow into one movie.
ReplyDeleteI think your video is beautiful, the images are very powerful and poetic, your choices of imagery and just the panning and everything was very well done. Very deep and you can tell that you all were committed to getting the best images possible. I think Overall it was just great, the poem was great and the images go well together. Very well done :)
ReplyDeleteYour iMovie project had some great shots! Very impressive, they were clear and very fitting with your message. Beautifully executed.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully made! Very poetic--the audio, narration, and images worked so well together. Not regretting life experience was a wonderful concept.
