Final Reflection of Project

I can't believe the time has come where we have come to the end of this project!! It really feels like it has been a long journey and I am so happy I was able to document my process through my blogs. Looking back, me and my partner really put in a lot of time and effort into our work to get to where we are now. It was a lot of research, filming, editing, and more. 

Starting with a reflection on our film opening, Open Flame, I think me and my partners vision for what we wanted to accomplish in our opening ended up turning out very good. At first, when my partner came to me with her idea for Open Flame, I wasn't sure if I liked it, but then we started to do research on what idea she was going for and really decided that it was what we wanted to do. We were able to incorporate some typical horror conventions while also switching it up a little to fit what we were going for. Our editing process was quick and efficient. We figured out how we wanted to do our credit sequence pretty fast and when we added it we immediately liked how it looked, along with the editing. It took us some time to find the music we wanted to use even though we had some kind of idea for the vibe we were going for, but the one we ended up choosing stood out to us very quick when trying to find the music. But, there are some things that both me and my partner agree that we could've done better. For example, our film opening is a little under the time limit. We realized this too late after editing everything all together. We should have fixed this by adding in more clips. Another example is that we repeated a lot of the same camera shots. Besides that, I think we did a good job on our project and it represented our genre well.

Now I will reflect on my CCRs. At first, it took me quite some time to figure out what I wanted to do, even after having people give me several ideas. I recorded the first one doing a set tour while answering the questions but it ended up being too short and I had to scrap it. So instead, I ended up doing the first one as a presentation with a voice over of me answering the questions and really getting into depth. For my second one, I decided to act as a film influencer reviewing my opening while answering the questions. I think I ended up doing a pretty good job on both CCRs and I enjoyed creating them.
