POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION
21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
- I was creative through my use of flat space in the mug shot scene.
- I was innovative though my use of a high camera shot in the morgue scene.
- I was a critical thinker when figuring out how to finish the film before the deadline.
- I was a problem solver when I volunteered to be the detective when our actor could not.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
- I was a communicator when we discussed how we wanted the shots to be set up/composed.
- I was a collaborator when me and Tyler (the editor) altered the lighting of the shots in post.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
- I successfully used information when I followed Mr.Leduc’s instructions to establish the film in the first 10 seconds.
- I was a collaborator with my teammates when I listened and used their ideas.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
- I developed life skills through how I had to meet new people in my team.
- I developed career skills through how I had to use time management to get the film done and how we emailed each other with scheduling conflicts.
Reactions to the Final Version
- Peer over all really enjoyed the cinematography but thought that I should establish that the interview scene was in a room more.
- Advisor commented on how their could have been a moment of pause before the film started.
