More Ideas - Post 33

 Why I changed my original idea


At first, in the beginning of the school year, I had planned out for my final project to be a sort of coming of age opening film. I thought out of the opening to incorporate elements such as a simple problem in a teenager's life, and how that teenager would seek the help and attention from their friends to solve the problem and make them feel better. I even had an idea to add a song from a world-wide known group of artists, which would be the inspiration for a certain scene because of the music video. However, I felt my idea didn't fit in the deadline I have, two minutes is only so much time.

I believe the scenario with the romance would be the best fit for now and the easiest to come up with since I consider myself to be what's called a, "hopeless romantic." I've consumed an enormous amount of media displaying romance whether it be movies/films, books, or social media platforms. It would be best because I can direct all the knowledge I have and create a short and sweet opening. Plus, it doesn't require much difficulty regarding the setting compared to my other new ideas, so that helps me.

- How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? CCR 1 PowerPoint - Jadan Cedeno.pptx My product introduces the funny yet complicated relationship between siblings, a sister and brother. Usually in films, sibling relationships are represented as "tough love," and leave the rest of the film for character development for one or both siblings to make their bond towards one another stronger. Since they identify as Latino/Hispanic, I decided to go with this theme since this particular group as People Of Color (POC) tend to have harsher way of being raised. Though this can be included in all social groups, I personally went for this group because I am Latina myself, so I wanted to represent my people and bring to light what some of us go through at home that affects our relationships with other people in our lives.  I also settled with a shared dramatic situation between the two siblings to leave the door open for bonding later...

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...
