Assignment #6: Ideas for Master Shot

My group has not been able to get together yet to discuss our roles due to scheduling conflicts, but I think I would be most useful working with the script, as I hope to be a scriptwriter one day. I think I would be most useful in this role because I would enjoy working with the actual script rather than the technical aspects of the production process. I think I would be best suited to do the lining of the script or putting together the shot list. I am horrible at math, so I think budgeting would probably be the worst possible position for me to be in. I hope that everyone’s schedule works better for is in the coming week and that we are able to come together to decide where everyone’s talents would fit the best. I hope that I am able to get the position that I would fit best in.

Blog Assignment #13

Most of all, throughout this semester in FST 201, I have learned that film making is much more of a group effort than I originally thought. This fact is great when all team members are on top of their parts of the filmmaking project. However, this fact can be a stressful one when certain group members fail or fall short of their tasks. Overall, most of my group members made the projects enjoyable experiences and I feel we created interesting things together. I think that the projects that we participated in this semester taught me to trust myself and my instincts more than I did before. I learned that most ideas are worth exploring even if they don't eventually lead to anything in the final cut because they are exercise in creativity. I also learned that following your passions is not always the easiest path to follow along with everything else life throws are you, but it is worth it in the end. Overall, after all the stressing and lack of rest and sleep, I feel very accomplished...

Assignment #2: Light Observations

The first room that I chose to observe light in was the bathroom of my home. The room has two light sources, an overhead light bulb encased by a floated globe and three round lights above the bathroom mirror against the wall. The frosted glass light bulbs above the mirror make the light emanating from those bulbs have more of a yellow hue than the overhead light with the globe covering it. The further away towel rings, toilet paper holders, and towel racks are from the light sources, the more subtle the shadows behind them appear to be. The shadows appearing behind these objects are also elongated down and across the wall. Pictures hanging on the wall, to the right and down from the bathroom mirror only cast a shadow on the side farthest from the light. The shadows also now appear shorter than the actual objects the farther they are from the light source. The second room that I chose to observe the light of was my home computer room. I chose this room because there are, again, two li...

Assignment #1: Filmmakers Statement

Until my first semester at UNCW, Spring of 2017, I would say that my experience with film was limited to what I could teach myself about the subject. My hometown of Bishopville, South Carolina is not exactly a place brimming with artistic opportunities. However, I knew from an early age that I wanted to be involved in the Film industry, so I began teaching myself what I could as a young teenager. I learned how to rip scenes from DVD's of my favorite television shows and movies, how to use Adobe software, and how to make my own creations out of them. Eventually, I acquired my own camera and began editing and compiling my own videos into short films. So, other than this class, everything that I know about hands-on filmmaking I have taught myself. This semester, in FST 201, I hope to learn exactly what each member within a production team does, which of those positions I excel within, and what it is like working within a team of other aspiring filmmakers. Currently, I am...
