POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION
21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
I showed ways of thinking by helping the screenwriter to write and edit the script.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
As being the director, I said no to a lot of stuff my group suggested.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
I used multiple youtube videos as well as the book Cinematic Storytelling.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
I now know how to say no to people. I struggle with going against people because I’d rather just go along with it, but the director role taught me a lot.
Reactions to the Final Version
“I like how you chose to put Travis tied up onto the wall” – Daniel
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
Our film was pretty simple being only 45 seconds long. The motive of Scott was very unexpected. It was also emotional as shown in the character Travis.
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
I have learned a lot of film techniques and it will influence me in the future because I can incorporate these techniques into more films to come.
