Portfolio Project: Creative Critical Reflection

 

Portfolio Project - Taking Chance Film Opening

Portfolio Project: Progress and Changes

 I have finished the recording and editing of the film and it looks very good. I have chosen an overlay music which builds a sort of questioning for who this character is at the beginning. It is quite suspenseful, building up to the moment where he "breaks" his neck. Tomorrow I am going to revise the video to make sure that everything is in place, so that I can upload the video to YouTube. 

Also, I am going to begin the planning for my Creative Critical Reflection (CCR) tomorrow. I am going to make a script from which I will try my best to memorize throughout the recording. I also need to plan out how I will introduce my research of the project.

 Today is the day I am going to rerecord my scenes. I do not have a storyboard planned out on paper, however I have an idea of what to do. I am going to Introduce the character by having him walk into the facility. He walks to his training area, and begins to warm up and stretch before training.

Following, he goes to the trampoline area to where there are many different types of camera angles of him warming up on the trampoline. After completing that, he goes to the area of his next event, the double mini trampoline. Here, his coach is trying to convince him to try a new skill, to which he agrees. He ends up getting injured, and the ambulance is called to take him to the hospital. The film opening ends with the main character sitting in a hospital bed, with his neck being stabilized. 

If this is not enough, I will think of more to add onto the film. For now, this is going to do.

 I ended up making the film opening incorrectly! I had a discussion in class with my teacher who brought me to the attention that I had created a trailer. This was a very bad mistake since I now need to rerecord most of the film opening scenes. I am brainstorming a new plot once again to try and make the film opening make sense. I am to start rerecording by the end of this week for sure.

Today I was editing the video and was happy with how it looks. Also, I have updated the storyboard. Attached below is my previous storyboard along with the extra part of it, which is updated.

During our training time, my coach allowed me to record for the project. I discussed with her what my plan was and how we were going to execute it, timewise. The recording took no longer than 45 minutes, to get multiple recordings of each shot, and some videos for Foley sounds which may or may not be used. There was a crowd of people in the gym due to normal scheduled practice of other teams, which sets the setting nicely of a gym where athletes are training. I am happy with how the recordings turned out, and hope the final product looks as good as I hope for.
