Questioning Where to Start - Post 4

 Genre? Plot? 


After learning more about some genres, now I have to start thinking about what genre the film should fall under. In addition to genre, I have to thinking of a plot or story. The film may only last for two minutes, but I am required to convey a story to showcase to an audience.

Before making a decision, I need to consider my resources and capabilities to film. Where can I shoot the movie? How can I learn to edit and use cinematography? Should I have many actors or actresses or only stick to one? I also must consider the state of the world in the pandemic since most places have restrictions. Needless to say, there are many factors I have to go through and evaluate before picking up the camera.

To be honest, I don't know where to start or what to choose from. I really need to think everything over and discuss with my teammates what I should pursue with.

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
