Final reflection

     Blog... the time is finally here. We have made it to the end of the portfolio project. Wow what a ride it has been. This project taught me so many new things not just about aice media but also about myself. Before i started this project i had a pretty mixed schedule on a day to day and didnt really have to worry too much about making time for certain things but once i started this project it all changed. I figured out a new schedule and new ways to get my work done while also making sure i blog everyday about my portfolio project. Before i get right deep dive into this reflection lets start from the beginning.

    When i first started aice media I didnt really have any background knowledge of filming or anything about camera angles, how to make foley, and editing. But as the class went on we did many project revolving around filming, editing, and learning a lot about shots and angles. When the class was first introduced about the portfolio project i immediately got so stressed. it was super intimidating because all of the people who sit next to me in class have a lot of background knowledge on filming and editing. I felt as if this project was way beyond me and what i know, but once we started diving into the planning of this project i felt a little more at ease. Figuring out what plot i wanted to do i knew i wanted to do something i was familiar with and had a lot of knowledge on so i chose coming of age because ive always watched coming of age movies growing up. Story boarding really helped me with the filming process and what i wanted to do for each scene, when i was unsure of what was next after filming i just went back to my storyboard and reviewed what i had planned next for that scene. Honestly the editing part took me the longest because of how time consuming it was but i had the most fun with it because i felt as if i could be creative and use so many ideas i had in mind.

    The final part of this project that had me worried the most were the ccrs. This whole project stressed me out and i totally forgot after filming we needed to create our ccrs and need to come up with two ideas. For the first idea i did a podcast but i created my own podcast cover on canva and then recorded my audio on voice memo. Then the second idea i had was to answer most common google searches about the portfolio project. For that one i had to video myself and i made sure the background was plain and not too much going on as a distraction. Honestly i am very proud of my work and so excited to be done. I feel so accomplished and love looking back to see where i started and where i am now. I learned so much from this project and had so much fun learning new things i like, like editing i found out i had the most fun with and i wouldve never known that if i didnt do this project. 

I love reflecting back and looking at my first blogs i made when we first started this project.
