Silent film

Vancouver Film School

Emerging Sound Designers Learn Their Craft on Cutting-Edge Equipment at CC images at flicker

Summary

The goal that I want was to set the tone of a silent film. A personal goal I have is to learn how to edit video and sound.

21st Century Skills

I didn’t really know what we should have made. Our team didn’t really talk to each other that much and I think that didn’t help our film. I used  GarageBand to make the music. I don’t know what I want to do in the future for a career.

The FILM

 

Students thought that the film was incomplete

Evaluation of Final Version

The film wasn’t bad but it could have been a lot better then what it was. I don’t think the music wouldn’t have matched the film and sound good. What I Learned and Problems I Solved was that communication is key and important.

What I Learned and Problems I Solved

I learned that I need to be able to make music in a time limit.

Recommendation

Michael is someone who is willing to work, and won’t give up that easily. Michael is a friend that I’ve known for 6 months now because of the classes that I have with him. A standout trait that Michael has is that he is always ready to think outside of the box. Michael is always happy no matter how bad things can get in the team or field of work. I would recommend Michael because he would keep things calm when you working and he would be a good member of the team.

Summary

The goal that I want to make in editing is to keep organized and to keep track of all my progress. A personal goal I have is to learn how to edit well.

21st Century Skills

I didn’t really know what we should have made. Our team didn’t really talk to each other that much and I think that didn’t help our film. I used adobe premiere pro to edit. I don’t know what I want to do in the future for a career.

Evaluation of Final Version

The film wasn’t bad but it could have been a lot more better then what is was. I don’t think I did bad when it came to the editing for the first time but I know I could have done better.

What I Learned and Problems I Solved

I learned that being organized is important. I also learned that I need to cut parts of video that don’t need to be there.
