For the Explorations Project, which was the last project of the year for Juniors, we explored our passions and chose a particular skill set and topic to learn more about and improve on.\u00a0 I decided to focus on camera movement and how to effectively use it to convey emotions in film.\u00a0 I chose this topic because although it seems simple, I feel that learning more about how to do standard skills in film will allow work done in the future to be a lot better because then I’ll be able to study more specific and difficult skills while having a strong base to go off of. The 21st Century Skill(s)<\/a> that I worked on for this project were technological literacy and self direction.\u00a0 This explorations unit was very different from our other units in film because we weren’t given deadlines throughout the process and didn’t have any official check-ins with Mr. T which meant that we had to set goals, manage our time, and create a final product on our own.\u00a0 In addition, I experimented a lot with Adobe Audition as well as with the DJI Spark drone which strengthened my ability to use both technologies and have them serve a purpose in my explorations final product.<\/p>\n

I valued being able to set my own deadlines and organize my schedule to make sure that I got everything done on time and ready for my presentation date during finals week.<\/p>\n

PROCESS<\/span><\/h3>\n

I began working on my explorations project right away after finishing the documentary film that Lilia and I had been working on for the previous unit.\u00a0 We had to submit a film pitch which Mr. T would then authorize for us to do or tell us to revise.<\/p>\n

I also wrote an outline for English with my research notes that allowed me to organize my thoughts and decide what I was going to say for my live presentation during finals week for Freestyle.<\/p>\n

I got started with the production process by location scouting and planning out what shots I wanted to get and where.\u00a0 It took me about a week and a half to get my shots which I then used to edit together in Premiere Pro.<\/p>\n
