Final Reflection

Going into my final portfolio project, the idea my partner and I had was set. We knew exactly what we wanted to with not much knowledge of how to actually produce it. At the beginning there was a little confusion on how we were going to begin the opening, but everything soon got figured out. Also, some issues were ran into during filming. Time and dates were the biggest obstacle we had to face. A couple times we had to reschedule and figure out when we could actually film. We also had issues with the angles and lighting techniques we were going to incorporate. The 360 camera stand I purchased wasn't tall enough and didn't give us the angle he had thought of. But everything got organized and figured out. We stacked notebooks under the camera stand, and we figured out the time and date we were going to film. The thing I really  learned through this project is that you have to make things work.

Not everything is going to be as easy as you want it to be. My partner and I had to brainstorm and decipher all the drawbacks that we were challenged with. And we ended up making everything work. This even connects to my production with the CCR's. At first I was so confused and worried on what I was going to do, and even how I was going to produce it. Time was a huge problem, every weekend I was traveling and playing in tournaments the entire day. But, I had to make things work. Originally I wanted to use my sister for my CCR's but she had work, which consumed majority of her time. So, I planned to create something different. I decided to stick with a voice over and commit all my time to that. I even had to skip practices and extracurriculars to have more time with this project. Overall, I think this project and my Aice Media class in general helped a lot with time management and just being focused on what's in front of me.
