Creative Critical Reflection

The Story of Us

Hey Guys!

The film introduction for The Story of Us is out now! I hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think! :)

Almost There!

Good morning!

I hope everyone is doing well. I am so close to completing my project! My creative critical reflection is just about done. I just have to add a few finishing touches to the piece in order to finalize my project.

I decided to do a director's commentary in the form of a video. I took a somewhat casual approach to this piece. I did not want to overdue the piece. I think that the content of the creative critical reflection is extremely important and an overdone director's commentary might take away from this important communication and act as a distracter. As a result, I decided to set the video simply in my bedroom. This also establishes a greater connection between myself and the audience.

 Throughout the duration of my director's commentary, I discuss important processes and things to consider while creating a film introduction. I include specific clips and visuals pertaining to the information I am trying to communicate. I keep my responses clear and relatively concise. I am very content with my creative critical reflection.

I will be sharing both of these productions very soon. Stay tuned! :)

Update

Hey guys!

I am almost finished with my overall project! I have filmed my creative critical reflection. All there is left to do is edit my director;s commentary and finalize this blog. I am really excited to share my production with you. I have shown a few of my peers the film and they have enjoyed, so I very excited to see what Cambridge thinks of my production. 

At the beginning of this project, I had absolutely no idea what was going to be the title of my piece. I have decided to call my piece The Story of Us, a film about young love and the obstacles a couple may face as they enter adulthood. I am very proud of my production and can't wait for you guys to see it! Stay tuned.

Thanks!

The Beginning of the End

Hey guys!

Although I have really enjoyed planning and executing my production, I am really looking forward to seeing all of my hard work come together as this project comes to an end. I have six days to complete my overall film introduction and creative critical reflection. I am extremely excited to share my overall production with you guys.

For my creative critical reflection, I plan on producing a director's commentary discussing issues pertaining to my project. Within this commentary, I will be discussing the relevance of my film introduction, intended audience, distribution practices, my skill development as a producer, and technologies used in order to successfully execute this project. 

I will also be answering any questions that you guys may have about my project. I am very proud of my production and I am looking forward to sharing it with you. This is the beginning of the end! Stay tuned for more updates as I continue to add the final touches to my project. 

Thank you! :)

Finishing Touches

Hey guys!

I hope everyone is enjoying their evening. In my last post, I shared a little preview of my film with you guys. I hope you guys enjoyed it. There are just a couple more things that I would like to incorporate throughout m production. Let me know what you guys think!
Throughout the film, I am planning to incorporate features of folly stage sound. I plan on adding child and adult laughter, the sound of wind blowing, and the grass the children are running on in the piece. I think this will be a great addition to the film and display more complexity within the sound of the production.
I would also like to insert a production company graphic at the beginning of my film. I believe this will help make my film look more authentic. I think it is also and interesting piece to add into my project. I am excited to learn how to create it. 
Thanks!

Editing Update

Hey Everyone!

I am glad to say that the editing process for my project is almost complete. I have been putting a lot of work into this piece and I am very excited to share the finished production with you guys soon. 

I am really happy about how my production is coming out so far. The shots that I have chosen to incorporate withing my production fit together very well. The instrumental music plays as a great add on to the footage. The credits shown throughout the piece are also presented in a smooth fashion. They are easily seen throughout the film introduction but do not take away from the actual footage of the piece.

I have put together a little preview of my film. Let me know what you guys think! :)
