I love to create and watch movies. I don\u2019t really specialize in anything, but I do put the majority of my effort in production and post production when I work on films. Outside of school I like biking, video games, and martial arts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For my Showcase, I have decided to show my Senior Narrative and my Zenith Project. My Senior Narrative was a project where my partner and I worked on a film from pre-production to post-production. The film is about a girl who struggled with the death of her mother and dealt with it through video games. I shot most of the scenes, except for the Zombie Boxer Scene. I also edited all of the video game scenes except for the Zombie Boxer Scene. I hope to gain feedback on the editing and effects. During my Zenith, my partners and I created it rather differently, where we each directed and edited different chunks of the film. What i\u2019ve shown in my showcase is work that I have directed, shot, and edited. However, I did not write the dialogue. I hope to gain feedback on my Direction, Cinematography, and Editing from the Zenith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, based on the two films, I\u2019m looking for feedback mainly on my cinematography and editing, however I am open to any other comments you have on the projects. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next year, I will be continuing film through clubs and activities, and maybe even part time work. I\u2019m still not 100% sure on what I want to do with my life, but I still enjoy making movies. I hope to discover my film making style, and create at least 4 short movies a year in order to fulfill my creative drive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Project 1: Senior Narrative<\/p>\n\t\t\t<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-gpkx2imehbg\" style=\"max-width:700px;\" class=\"arve\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"aspect-ratio:350\/197\" class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.285714%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay &apos;none&apos;;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-gpkx2imehbg\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gPkx2imeHBg?start=2&amp;feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"394\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gPkx2imeHBg?start=2&#038;feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"700\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/freestyleacademy.rocks\\\/~OwenD\\\/showcase\\\/#arve-youtube-gpkx2imehbg\",\"@type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/embed\\\/gPkx2imeHBg?start=2&feature=oembed&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\"}<\/script>\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"arve-error\"><p><small><abbr title=\"Advanced Responsive Video Embedder\">ARVE<\/abbr> error: Mode: lazyload not available (ARVE Pro not active?), switching to normal mode<\/small><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n<p>The Senior narrative was the biggest project I ever worked on in freestyle. It was a story about a girl struggling with the loss of her mother, and how she dealt with it. During this film, I did everything from pre-production to post &#8211; production, with the help of my partner.<\/p>\n<p>During this project, I found that I grew mostly in post production. Specifically in editing and special effects. Before I made this, I had only toyed around with after effects, and didn&#8217;t have much experience. I edited all the video game scenes, except for the zombie boxer, so I had a lot on my plate. However, although it was extremely time consuming and draining, it was also really fun! The scene I&#8217;m most proud of, even though it doesn&#8217;t look great, is the final boss fight. Because of my lack of experience, I filmed that entire scene without thinking about the special effects. Then, when I began making the effects, I realized how difficult it would be. I had to manually add the background effects for every single frame in that scene. Although it came out looking kind of bad, I am proud of the effort that I put in.<\/p>\n<p>For this project, I would like to get feedback mostly on the Zog Fight Scene in general, as that was the scene I put the most effort into, and I want to know how it can be improved!<\/p>\n<p>Project 2: Zenith<\/p>\n\t\t\t<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-hxzfqke7fiu\" style=\"max-width:700px;\" class=\"arve\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"aspect-ratio:350\/197\" class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.285714%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay &apos;none&apos;;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-hxzfqke7fiu\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hXZfqkE7fiU?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"394\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hXZfqkE7fiU?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"700\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/freestyleacademy.rocks\\\/~OwenD\\\/showcase\\\/#arve-youtube-hxzfqke7fiu\",\"@type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/embed\\\/hXZfqkE7fiU?feature=oembed&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\"}<\/script>\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"arve-error\"><p><small><abbr title=\"Advanced Responsive Video Embedder\">ARVE<\/abbr> error: Mode: lazyload not available (ARVE Pro not active?), switching to normal mode<\/small><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n<p>This project was a collaborative effort between myself and two other people. We made a choose your own adventure movie. Once you click the link, every single clip between the &#8216;Hug&#8217;\u00a0 scene and the credits was shot, edited, and directed by me. However, I did not write the dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>During this project, I think I grew mostly as a director and cameraman, as I was able to use someone else&#8217;s writing to elevate my film making. I&#8217;m not very good at writing, so working off someone else&#8217;s work was great! It felt far more collaborative than most of the other projects I did, since I usually helped in the writing process. Since I wasn&#8217;t bogged down by my own personal writing issues, I was able to expand as a director, making them act exactly as I wanted. I think I improved on directing, as our actors seemed to be enjoying themselves and really getting into their performances. As a cameraman, this experience was interesting, because I had to shoot in a parodical style, where I was making fun of the cinematography of both Police Dramas and Soap Operas. Personally it was a fun challenge trying to imitate a filming style and I learned a lot through that experience. I hope to take what I&#8217;ve learned from this project and apply it to the college clubs and my own personal films I plan on making in my near *hopefully bright* future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, my name is Owen Daniels and I am a film student at Freestyle Academy.
