End of Marking Period 3 Reflections

The first classmate's blog I looked at was Cory McCabe's. I also always wanted to do a documentary type of film either one that is serious like Cory's or a fake funny one where everything including the answers was scripted. I didn't think I would be able to pull on-off with just the little resource that I have, but Cory has changed my mind with his great work on his own documentary. Cory showed that even with a small budget you could make a great documentary. You need to have an interesting subject and be able to come up with good questions. In a future film, I may try and do a documentary of my own.

The second peer's blog that I looked at was Sean Hopkins.  I liked how for his film, he based the visual around the audio. Meaning that everything depended on the audio, the length of time clips, as well as the order in which clips were shown, were adjusted to meet the narrative and sound design he had. I am doing something like this for my next film already with a voice-over. I will take into consideration his blog post and see if could do the same thing while I am editing. 

The third blog post I looked at was made by Zach Baughman. I really liked how Zach completely used his theme in his film. His theme is time and is greatly expressed in his newest film. I feel like I could learn from Zach because I feel like I don't do too much with my theme. Sometimes from a different view, it's hard to even tell what my film's deep-rooted theme is, but Zach conveys his very nicely. I believe that the audience watching Zach's film can easily understand what he is trying to communicate.
