I worked with my partner, Carly, to develop and produce a film about a girl who sets out to make a film to enter a film festival. The process spanned from preproduction to production to post-production\u2014all completed during a pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">I think this film showcases my narrative filmmaking skills and my ability to work in difficult circumstances as well as to adapt and improvise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"779\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-23-at-11.27.22-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-23-at-11.27.22-PM.png 779w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-23-at-11.27.22-PM-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-23-at-11.27.22-PM-768x427.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px\" \/><figcaption>Stills<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"20 21 p2 JR Narrative CarlyW StellaB\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_zHJsFZ92T8?list=PLD8161DA6956C4F56\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Final Film<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mandala<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">The mandala project implored us to express ourselves visually.

It was one thing to know what I wanted the final product to look like, but I also had to deconstruct and break down my plan to see how all the layers fit together. In hindsight, I had fun playing with the depth and geometric shapes of the cabin art. It was rewarding to see all the individual pieces come together to form one unified piece.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"868\" height=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-18-at-10.55.56-AM-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-18-at-10.55.56-AM-1.png 868w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-18-at-10.55.56-AM-1-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-18-at-10.55.56-AM-1-768x572.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 868px) 100vw, 868px\" \/><figcaption>Final Piece<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Junior Documentary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">For the Junior Documentary Project, we were tasked to portray an intriguing person, group, place, idea, or issue through different forms of media (writing, video production, design, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">For my documentary project, I was inspired by my friends Kaavya Butaney and Aman Shah, who are debate partners.

As a culmination of all the skills honed at Freestyle, the Zenith project challenged us to self-direct and focus on a project we\u2019re passionate about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Because of all the creative freedom we had, I took the opportunity to do something more unconventional. I knew I wanted to do a documentary to redeem myself after my junior year documentary was void of B-roll, but I was unsure of a subject. On a whim, I decided to do my documentary on the Zenith project. The documentary would include talking with my classmates about their projects, the process of my own documentary, and the Zenith project as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">In the month that we had for this project, I went through the stages of pre-production, production, and post-production. My process included researching forms of documentary and structures, scheduling interviews and drafting interview questions, conducting interviews and collecting B-roll, and editing all the pieces together in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"912\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-23-at-11.29.55-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-23-at-11.29.55-PM.png 912w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-23-at-11.29.55-PM-300x118.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-23-at-11.29.55-PM-768x303.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\" \/><figcaption>Talking Head Interviews<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"891\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-23-at-11.30.06-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-23-at-11.30.06-PM.png 891w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-23-at-11.30.06-PM-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~StellaB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-23-at-11.30.06-PM-768x386.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 891px) 100vw, 891px\" \/><figcaption>B-Roll<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"21 22 p7 Zenith  StellaB\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/twd0DEF0cf0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Final Documentary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">I had a lot of fun with this project.
