Three Picture Story

self critique 

I feel like my film needed more. I had an idea and thought I explained it well in pre production, however when the filming was done and the editing was done I feel like the film was very underwhelming. Although it might not seem like it with my other work but I am a perfectionist and I felt like my film was missing something. I tried adding music which i think was needed but nothing fit well. I could have spoken over the video but i don't think anyone wants to hear me talk about how boring quarantine makes your life for five whole minutes. An idea i think would have been cool is if i made every clip the same duration and had a clock going that was slowly speeding up. I also think i could have just had clips repeat and repeat faster for longer than i have it now. I learned a lot filming this and I'm excited for the next project. Another thing I wish I did was use a different person to film. This quarter we learned a lot about different ways to film things and I couldn't use any of the new film strategies with my phone propped up on my dresser. Although I am dragging my video right now there are a lot of things I'm happy about. I think I did very well with color correction. Throughout the video highlights are very very low removing all traces of any sparkle. Another thing I did was every time the sequence replayed the clips were much more gray and blue. There are also some other subtleties I did that might have gone unnoticed. Some of which were throwing my laundry out of the hamper to make my room messy, and on the last day I showed I cut out the shower to show how life like this can make you lose healthy routines and pick up unhealthy ones. Overall there are many things I would do differently but I am pretty happy with how it turned out.
