Point A to Point B Project Analysis



    1. This project was extraordinarily fun to be a part of! It was the first project where I could be behind the camera and kind of direct the production as it went on. I also got quicker at editing (though my computer wasn't cooperating; what's new). So, lets start at the beginning. Me, Jaden, Julia, and Nandini quickly assigned each other our roles; I was the cameraman, Julia was the director, Jaden was the art/location finder, and Nandini was the actress. With this indestructible team, the whole project would be a breeze, right? Well, wrong in a way. Even though I was in a bomb team, trying to battle against 
      lighting and passerby's was exhausting and a tad infuriating. Also, figuring out how to use the tripod on my own was T-R-I-C-K-Y. It took me a while to make sure that my camera wasn't slanted and that it was on correctly. Once I started to get the gist of using the tripod, I started to pay more attention to the types of shots I was taking and how well they would transition in the future when I edited my clips in Premiere. Once we were done filming, we ran back and entered stage 3: the editing process. Maaaaan oh man, slicing chunks of what I thought were valuable pieces to the story was saddening. But it had to be done. I thought doing a 60 second project would be easier. It. Isn't. Finding the perfect song to go with the film was also a long journey. But, after alllll of that, I am very pleased with each and every outcome of it. My team did a really good job, and we were always hustling. I'm proud of my team :)))!!!!!
