Airball Short Film FINAL

Project Scope and Process

The scope of this project was to create a short film incorporating a water bottle, a hat, a lights out reference, and an intentional source of light. The process for creating this video was we first wrote a script on celtix. Then we created story boards including the shots we plan to use, the angles, and a description of what will be said. We used  a story that we had already put together for a previous project so pre production wasn't so time consuming. For the actual production of the project we worked for about a week filming the story. We used a wide range of shots but mainly just one location in the main gym. During post production we edited the film and this took a total of about two days. I added music to many scenes to avoid awkward sciences and also had to cut many of my shots down to make the video. Audio was probably the hardest thing for me to edit.

Variety of shots we had to choose from.

What I Learned/ How I will Improve and Keep the Same

Music I added to my video from YouTube.

Throughout this process I learned how to add music into my movie from youtube and I also learned that a tripod is not useful for all shots. Professionally I learned it is important to make a time management and production schedule so you stay on task. I also learned to be more open with listening to other peoples ideas because they can often times be helpful. If I were to do this differently I would pick a more accessible location to be our main setting. I would also try to get more shots including audio and conversation to make the final video easier to understand and follow. Things I would keep the same would be the teamwork methods we used to finish the project in time as well as the number of shots we decided to take. We had a wide variety of angles and shots to choose from in the end which made final editing easier.

Experiences I Picked Up and Conclusion

From this project I learned to really be strict about your project timeline and stick to it. I also learned to choose a film that you know will be easy to make in the time given. I will be able to use this skills later in my film making career. In conclusion I did enjoy doing this project. Originally I had a different idea of how it would turn out but I'm not completely disappointed in it. I was late with my editing because I missed a day and that hurt me in the end but overall I think it was a decent video given the circumstances of the gym always being unavailable and my shortened time for editing.
