Note For Next Time,...

I would like to start off by saying this was the most interesting project I've ever worked on. With that being said I would have to say that I had up as well as downs in the process of making this project. When I initially started the project I was not too thrilled about it. I thought it was going to be the same concept as 150, but to my surprise It was nothing like 150 at all. Since I was not too intrigued by the project I lacked in organizing myself, and I had a lot of difficulty in creating a storyboard whether it was drawn or written. I also learned that something might not go as you planned.


When I first interviewed Angie My intention with the interview was to go in a completely different direction than I intended. the questions that I had originally written down got lost in the abyss of books and papers in my room. I had to improvise, and pretty soon that interview became more of a conversation between friends and where I was getting to know her more in depth, and my subject had changed without me realizing.


When it came time to editing I had to turn a 13 minute interview to something short, simple, and to the point, but keep as interesting as possible. Once I felt comfortable working with final cut it made life so much easier in putting the story together, and before I know it I was infatuated with editing and further creating and visualizing the story. The time seemed to fly by, and I felt like it would never get done in time.


Having to search for online content, and have a restriction on what I could shoot and where was a challenge, but it made me bring out more of my improvisational creative skills (to say the least.) I had done things in this project that I have never done nor would have done if it was not for this project.
