SUMMARY
- This week has had it’s ups and downs, but for the most part it’s been pretty good. I still need to catch up on some work but I will get there. This blog post was interesting and has taught me the basics of what goes on behind the scenes of making a film.
PRACTICE ROOM (TUTORIALS)
CLASSROOM (THEORY & ANALYSIS)
So basically we looked at a couple of articles and watched a couple of videos on the history of film how the steps to follow when making a film.
LAB (THEORY PRACTICED)
- So I feel like this year has gone by super fast and I’ve noticed that the older I get, the school years feel shorter. School, homework and baseball practice have really contributed to that I think. For the most part, the weekends have felt pretty long main because of the homework I do and the football. I’ve also been watching some movies here and there. Last weekend I watch one of my favorite movies “Dazed and Confused”. This online school thing has definitely been a different learning experience that i would say I’m a fan of. I’ve started to appreciate school and how I’ve noticed that school is one of those things that you hate but miss once it’s gone. It hurts a little bit more because I am a senior which is something that have looked forward for a long time now. I’ve also realized that I don’t work that well at home and would much rather learn in a classroom setting. Whelp, timers up.
OUTSIDE (CREATIVITY & THE BRAIN)
- The life of a top high school football player
- A bet running away and finds it’s way home
- The college lifestyle
- A band going on tour
- Your car get broken into and you try and find the criminal
- Someone escapes jail
- A journey through space or ocean
STUDIO (FILMING)
-
- It was definitely an interesting video and I’m glad I watched it.
WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
- I’ve learned that I need to limit distractions like constantly looking at my fantasy football team. I’ve also learned that I need background noise in order to keep focus and get work done. Another thing I learned is that having a monitor helps me stay focused for some reason.
