SUMMARY
Role

Intention (SMART Goal)
By Jan. 12, as the cinematographer for TEAM 4, I will learn to incorporate dynamic shots into our film, by following Creating Stable Camera Movements for session 3.
PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY
Leader(s) in the Field / Exemplary Work(s)
Rina Yang is a modern cinematographer working her way to becoming a household name. She works on using dynamic cinematography that mimics the real world. This is shown through her modern style of striving not for perfection, but for the beauty of the shots. Often she works not for a clearer image, but rather for a clearer grasp of the film. Ideally,, I could incorporate some of her style into our film.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION
21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
I was a creative thinker through our location scouting and use of the PAC, a location we would normally not have access to. This new location allowed more space to create dynamic camera shots and movements.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
I communicated thoroughly with my team about my absences and how they were unfortunately extended. This allowed me to use communication skills online with my ever-changing.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
I used information to construct the preproduction of our film so that we would have a smooth production. This was done by researching our ideas and planning thoroughly before production.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
Reactions to the Final Version
James Clark: James found are pacing and dialogue to be very good as it flowed naturally while simultaneously moving the film along. This is a strength that I am proud are film met.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
Overall I am thrilled with our finished project. The dialogue and the choreography allowed a dynamic sharp film that was very good. I do wish I had been present for more of the filming, as this would have allowed for more flexibility in filming, and the allowance of me to be involved. Overall I am overjoyed with the end product of this film and how well its plot flowed.
