I was creative through why use of unique camera shots. This includes, but is not limited to the dynamic shot of Henry walking through the hallway and the shot where Gavin falls to the floor and the chapstick rolls out of his hand.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I was a communicator through how I was open to other peoples ideas and allowed everyone else’s input on the cinematography.

Reactions to the Final Version

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

When evaluating our final film I feel very pleased about the final product. I believe our cinematography and sound effects are great along with most of the film. I do wish we could have extended the length but do to time constraints this was not possible. Overall this was a great production cycle especially in comparison to our original first film.
