Introduction - Post 1

 Introduction

Hello, my name is Jadan,

    The purpose of this blog is to record my progress and the process of creating an original film piece for the AICE Media Studies class.

    For this class, I will be creating an opening of a film that will last for around two minutes. Although I will be working in a team of three, this film will be my own individual piece with only my creative input; my other teammates will be my guide and support throughout the process. Since I consider myself to be an artistic person, I'm confident that my passion for the arts will be a great advantage to express myself the best ways I can. I hope to learn and even excel in the techniques of editing in order to successfully create my piece since that is a major factor in film-making.

    My main tasks include:
    - Work together with my team as one unit by giving feedback and asking for their input, but also work diligently on my individual piece.
    - Record and reflect on all my progress throughout the whole process.
    - Credit any and all sources used in my project, but mostly use original work.

Failed Attempt - Post 25

  This was my first attempt at making my preliminary video. I recorded this on December 5th, 2020. This was created entirely on a whim without much discussion and planning (which is very evident).  Although I'd say the camera shots and movements were decent, but the plot, acting, and execution were subpar in my opinion. My peers also agreed when I showed them the video that I could've done a better film opening, and that's when I decided to take it more seriously and redo everything from scratch.

Creative Critical Reflection 3 - Post 41

 -  How did your production skills develop throughout this project? CCR 3 - Jadan Cedeno.pptx Throughout this project, for my draft and final film production, I used two different mobile editing apps for my phone. For my draft, I used VivaCut and for my final I used CapCut. I transitioned because I wanted to used an editing app that doesn't include their watermark or logo in the corner throughout the whole film video, so CapCut was the best choice. Due to my past experience editing, using the new app wasn't difficult at all; very simple.  As for my skills, I can see my development when comparing my two film videos. In my draft, I just shot it by the textbook and wasn't very considerate of important factors like setting and props. I directed a film opening that can be considered as criminal/mafia, yet, the settings, props, costumes, and mise en scene in general did not fit the match. It's evident that I only went for the story but not the story-telling. I believe my came
