Session 2 Film (Pad Thai)

Summary

The goal of the project was to make a sitcom episode where 1 person gets angry at another person. I contributed my ideas to location, acting techniques and screenwriting. We did a great job individually and a greater job as a team.

21st Century Skills

I used problem solving to leap over the hurdles that life headed towards me to complete our project. I wasn’t there for a lot of the filming so I had to make a lot of the film decisions during the editing. We had a group chat so we were successful in communication but phone service got in the way many times. I also helped my editor with her software when it was having bugs or she just needed help using the software.  This will help me later because I want to be an actor and I have to live with the absences of people even if it’s myself.

Reactions to Final Version

So the Brian Favorite said that he liked the idea of us filming outside of school which was actually something that they were waiting for. My goal for the film was to make a short sitcom episode which didn’t necessarily succeed, but he liked that idea and the saw what I was going for in the film.

Evaluation of Final Version

We had a screenwriter which did a great job rising tension and lowering tension within the story unexpectedly. The camera switched off between the two characters through the dialogue so simply that it became smooth. We had some student-level editing and sound which contributed to the overall film and truly made the story come to life. Finally the actors did a good job finding the character’s goal, emotion and purpose.

What I Learned and Problems I Solved

I learned how much attendance actually means in the film. I didn’t get a lot of say in the actual filming of the film and I know for my next film to make sure that I’m there every step of the way.
