Creative Critical Reflection

Image
This is my Creative Critical Reflection video for the final task. Here I answer all four questions in regards to the final task while doing my nightly skin and hair routine. Because I wanted to really involve my routines in the video, I also made sure to include what I was applying to my skin and hair. I had one of my partners ask me the questions so that the video can seem a little bit more like an interview. Hope you enjoy the video.

The Final Task: The Missing

Image
Together my partners and I came up with different ideas and composed them to make our film what we call it, The Missing.We honestly enjoyed making this film and it really gave us a deeper understanding of filming. After this project we realized that there is so much that goes into film production than perceived. Even though we were very productive it took a lot of time and focus to try to make the film as best as we can, especially because we are students. We hope that this film came out well and that you enjoy it.

The Final the meet up

 Today Esther and I finally met up and started to finish everything. I actually ended up staying at home because I had a softball game yesterday and I needed to rest. I had ended up doing school online but Esther was unable to come early in the day. Her mom had work and had to drop her father off at work. So instead of coming in the morning she came a little bit after 3 p.m. For some reason my computer was having trouble with the editing software and I had to fix it. Esther tried to resend me the parts that we had finished, but it still wasn't working. Throughout our time being together everything was loading very slowly. It took majority of our time to have everything downloaded and put together. Once again the editing software was giving us issues and the music didn't even load when she was with me. At one point Esther had to ask her mother for extra time because we weren't able to really make any progress in the first 2 hours we were together. When we did begin to edit a

More plans

    Ever since we met up last week we haven't really done too much. I have another softball game tonight and once we finish I will be getting home late. We still really want to meet up one last time so we can definitely finalize things. We are trying to plan to see each other this  Thursday. Because I physically attend school, I am going to try to stay home instead. That way all of us can meet up on Thursday because Esther and I have study hall, so we are guaranteed a free hour and a half. So we were planning for her to come early in the morning and then we just do school online throughout the day. Then when it is time for study hall we are going to try to complete editing and add the final touches to the final task. We were really happy that we had finished all of our scenes on our first meet up. We actually didn't plan on doing so but then we just decided to do it. Had we not filmed all of our scenes on the first day I don't know how well we would be doing right now. As u

Starting to wrap up the final task

      Today we were able to meet up and start to wrap things up. I had practice today and we weren't sure if I was able to show up at all. We ended practice a little bit early so I was able to meet up with my partners around 4 o'clock. We had originally planned to meet at 3 o'clock, but we obviously had to scratch that. When we all started it took us a few minutes to get ready and prepare. We had reviewed each scene to see how much time they had already taken up. We had to re-do about 3 scenes. We only re-shot 2 though because we came to the conclusion that we didn't really need it. When we had put all the clips together the film was already about 1 minute and 45 seconds. We just continued to edit and cut a few things. We wanted to make everything flow together so we had scrapped some things. We also changed up a few of the lines from the script. We honestly didn't do too much editing but we were still productive. We took multiple breaks in between and also ordered

Unable to meet again

      This past week ended up being very busy for my partners and I. Again I am constantly busy with softball and once again have two games this week as well. When we don't have games we have the rest of the week to practice. Last week we had Friday off because it was a religious holiday (good Friday). Each of us had been busy because of the holiday and had to spend time with our family. Sunday was also Easter and which we were all busy with our family again and we had to celebrate. In addition, I was unable to basically do anything because my Family and I had to go to Miami to take care of my grandmother. We would stay there hours at a time and had to consistently visit her. This made us all unable to really do any filming or editing together. We also didn't end up communicating well because of our other plans. I have a busy week again due to softball and I have practice with my travel team on Saturday as well. We are starting to lose time and we really need to meet up at leas

One more meeting

    This week my group and I have been unable to film or edit together. This week I have 3 softball games in total. Today I will have my third one which means that we will not be able to do anything today as well. However, tomorrow we don't have school because of the holiday. Because of this we might do something tomorrow or the weekend. We haven't been able to really plan anything but one of my other partners and I have discussed about meeting up again. I may or may not have practice on Saturday with my travel team, but we might be able to meet up  afterwards. Sunday however, is most likely our best bet for all of us to see each other and be productive. Right now all we really have to do is continue to edit. We already started a little bit, but we still need to see if we need to add more things. This is why all of us need to meet up again at least one more time. Hopefully we are able to finish the final task by the end of the weekend or by the end of next week. We have made a
