Throughout this year, my group and I learned a ton about filmmaking and what goes into it. Such as codes in movies and the categorization of different types of media, shot sizes, framework etc. During my acting I had to so case day-to-day life feeling that some teenagers go through in "After It All".   Due to the assignments and practical exercises given I learned more of an understanding of crucial elements such as camera angles, composition, lighting, and sound, recognizing their significance in crafting a compelling narrative which all goes into filmmaking. This help with knowing what to search for to find elements that would immerse the audience in our story. All in all, this really was crazy adventure filled with ups and down. Everything we've learned together as a team about making films enjoyable.

Final Film

After listening to Ms. Vincent's feedback my team and I redid our opening film to improve it. We implement her suggestions and somethings we thought need to be added too. Which improved our work. As we worked on our storyline, we did run into some conflict. Such as difficulties with certain crew members, deadlines, maintaining focus, etc. There are things throughout the film process that could have been changed to make things flow better but we did do our very best. In the end our commitment caused us to finish the film.

First Draft Feedback

Our teacher Ms. Vincent gave us feedback during her critique session. She mentioned that we should make our narrative more concise, aiming for a two-minute duration, and also stressed the need to introduce a more significant conflict to engage the audience effectively. Additionally, Ms. Vincent suggested exploring different music choices that would better match the tone and mood of the scene, highlighting the importance of sound design in immersing the audience. She also pointed out that the voiceover was too loud, emphasizing the importance of achieving a balanced audio mix for the best viewing experience. Through Ms. Vincent's help we were started fixing parts in our opening film.

Post-Production: Sound Editing Decisions

In our film creation, "After Everything," we used audio effects as an amazing asset to charm our crowd. Exploring different avenues regarding different music classifications and consolidating voiceovers, we settled on intentional decisions to reverberate with the adolescent segment, perceiving their proclivity for music. By adjusting our soundtrack to the inclinations of our interest group, we planned to elevate crowd commitment. We involved audio effects for specific movements like strides and the telephone ringing.
