Critical Reflection

How does your product represent social groups or issues? The main goal of my film was to represent mental health. More specifically depression. My film is centered around the idea that there are two types of people who are watching the film (or in society). Half of them will understand the true meaning behind it and the other will simply enjoy another piece of work . In this film, the narration of Mia's story is what drives the story. The two most critical parts of this film are the painting and her arrival at therapy. The painting of a dandelion represents hope and happiness. This exemplifies the fact that Mia is hoping to get better and knows that she needs help. Towards the end, "HOPE is painted over the dandelion, which foreshadows Mia getting the help she needs . In the end, she is seen going to therapy for her mental health. How do the elements of your production work together to create a sense of 'branding'? The branding I used is in all the marketing tha

3 days left! (editing)

-
Image
       About time! I am currently editing and it is going well. It is lagging while editing, but I know it will run smoothly in the end. So far, I will need to film a painting this weekend. I will also need to work on my animation credits. I will be animating the beginning credits. Shown below are examples and a sketch of what I mean.  my storyboard sketch       I'll be using the same credits from last year's Final Task. BurdHouse Studios and Yearning Youth Company. Boxes 1-4 are for BurdHouse Studios. Box 5 is for Yearning Youth Company. Boxes 1-4 show a bird flying in a circle and lands onto a birdhouse (the 'd' and 'H'). Box 5 shows the Yearning Youth Company "gliding" down the screen. Box 6 is blank since I couldn't figure out what to add.  20th Century Fox I just know thing weekend will be a long one. With no sleep. But It will be worth it. (I hope)

Countdown to my deadline (editing)

-

 It's about time that I start editing. I'm currently watching all the films I have before I download them. I have a good portion of my overall plan. But is it enough for five minutes?  I am thinking of adding animation for the beginning and end credits. But I will need to do a lot of math for the dimensions and timing. I am sure I'll figure it out by my deadline.

I got nothing.

     At this point, I got nothing. I've been debating for a while now. Animation and film? Or either one? I do not know. If there's a random spark that's supposed to help me finish this film, now would be a great time. I haven't even downloaded my videos to edit yet. I'm currently going nuts. I'm doing my other homework to distract myself, but it's not helping. I've watched other short films and random shows on Netflix. N a d a.      Recall how I wanted to incorporate small talk? Yea, I got nothing for that. Besides, I don't think I'll have time to film. I have such a busy schedule. My time management has improved a lot this year. I am sure, I would have waited till the last second of the last minute. But thank goodness I did not. Because I would mentally destroy myself. And that's not the best feeling.

I think I got it.

     I have a brilliant idea. I know that I haven't been able to put anything together lately. But I'm going to switch it up. Again.  Small talk.       Now you're wondering what that's supposed to mean. As you know, I've been sick last week and I went back to school on Monday. Although today... I got this idea in class. Based on an assignment we were working on, it came to me. I can add something to my film.     The assignment consisted of many articles that talked about the pros and cons of small talk. And that blew my mind. I could add a scene of attempting small talk. To a degree.      I'm planning on adding a scene or more that goes under the umbrella of small talk. I'm not a hundred percent sure of what will happen.      But, stay tuned. I'm sure I'll get this on time without having to cram the night before to get it done. I'm hopeful.

Back to work, after a quick hiatus

idk      I am getting better slowly. I will be going back to school tomorrow, only to make up an exam. Otherwise, I would be working on the film. But I need to prepare for the third quarter.       So I will be taking a small break from working on the film. I think that will give me a clean slate to start from. Just to see what I am missing.      I will write down my ideas and try to piece them together. For now, I need to figure out Facebook. It is such a pain creating an account. Don't get me started on the username. The number of times I wanted to throw my phone across the room-       *sigh* I have to input my phone number for Facebook to give me a code. With that code, I can create a username. Instead of using my director's name for PR contacts. But unfortunately, Facebook does not want to give up the code. Like Gollum in Lord of the Rings. I have until the end of this month, so I will keep trying. If not, I'll delete it and create a brand new one. Hopefully, that will w
