PSA

My group chose to talk about water conservation. We thought about how people, even in our own country, do not have access to clean water, and if you have the ability to give back, you should.

We started out by discussing ideas and our thoughts on the subject, then we came down to a definite idea, then we began to story board our ideas. We had an idea already of the cast and right away they replied that they could do it. We decided it was best if no one spoke in this, because then the message would be more powerful. We story boarded the concept out then we filmed all day that Saturday. \

My role was director and I learned that directors do not just tell people what to do, they help everyone with their jobs. I helped stage the shots and I also helped with costuming, setting, and I was there while George edited so I think that is really important.

We used Sarah's camera to film with two different lenses which one helped with the upclose shots and one we used for wide shots. Then we edited on Premiere Pro for the final product.

We all kind of know what we were doing, so the technical skills came in handy because we all had the same idea and the skills in order to pull that off. We talked a lot about the idea for the film and so communication was easy because we worked so well together and we all had the same idea in mind. i tried to be a good leader and keep everyone on task, which worked out well, and we all stepped up when we needed to. We are also all friends yet professional so we collaborated very well. Because of this, we coordinated well so project management was not complicated.

I would probably make it more dramatic, like making the City Boy more dirty and just artistic things like that. I think I would also pick a more solid subject because ours fit in several categories.

I really liked the overall idea and I like the aesthetic of it because, in my edit, we had some really good shots and good cuts that conveyed the message.

This project will help with the next because now we are more comfortable and we know that we can go more dramatic and more in depth with the ideas.

I really enjoyed this project and I think it really started us of well for the rest of the year/.
