day 14 - filmbeatz and last project

We showed our film beatz projects today in class. After a long day yesterday of shooting and editing (which took practically the rest of the day to do by 11:00 by the way), we were all pretty much nervous about presenting our work. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t turn in my project properly, so I had to go back and export it the right way, with some help from Maura as usual. Since after I posted my video, it was initially the first one to go. I think everyone got a chuckle out of it, especially at the end where I had added the snorting sound effect for a little comic relief. All of the other videos looked very good as well, in fact some, if not most of them looked like music videos. After we presented our projects, it was time to move on our last assignment which is to create a 1 minute one take video. We looked at two examples from the films Annie Hall and The Graduate to a basic Idea of how we would construct our videos either similarly or originally. The ten of us in the class were broken into two groups of five with different genres to tackle. My group, for which I am the director apparently, is tasked with making a scifi zombie musical. This alone got me worried because, while I could probably do the zombie genre by itself, I the scifi and musical aspects of it could prove to be a little difficult. Nonetheless, our group got together during the last remaining minutes of the class and discussed what our plan would be for the rest of the week when we start shooting the movie.
