End of MP 2 Presentations Reflection

The first one of my peer's blogs I looked at was Aliyah. What I learned from here was how to make a better storyboard that would benefit me in a greater way. Instead of drawing pictures she just wrote down how to picture the scene in her mind. For me, personally, I can't draw and I'm better at explaining things with words, so I believe that for my next film I will write down what I see in my mind instead of trying to draw it out.

The second blog I looked at was Sean Hopkins. From what I read in Sean's blog is that he took a lot of time thinking about the audience. He thought about how to make an entertaining film for people and also give them a story that they may be able to relate to. This is why he made a story about losing a friend. When I was planning my last film I didn't really think of the viewer. I just made a story that I found funny and entertaining. I didn't really consider if anyone else would find it funny as well. So, when working on my next film I will try to think a little deeper and think to myself if an audience of people will find my story as enjoyable as I do. 

The final blog I looked at was Zach Baughman. In his integration section, he stated that editing was very time-consuming for him and that it's what set him back the most in terms of getting the project done on time, though he really likes editing. I also really like editing but I would have to agree that it is time-consuming depending on what edits you want to make especially when is comes to effects. In his blog, Zach shared a video that gives tips on how to get better at editing but more importantly to save time while editing. Also, Zach said that he just had to learn to not do as many unique edits because it takes too much time. If you are on a time crunch just do the edits you already know how to do and learn new ones on your own time. so, for my next film, this is exactly what I will do. If I have time I will find some new effects and edits to spice up my video, but if I'm running low then I just stick to what I know.
