Final Reflection
Within our group we used a collaborative-type method of creation and creativity. As we were filming, new ideas would jump into our heads. Everyone did a great job envisioning and creating the thoughts that came to their heads. Our group worked effectively and cooperatively together making the film a stress free production environment. We were also able to incorporate all of our thoughts and ideas that were in our heads into the film itself. The main idea of our film was the first step we took in making it. This first step was to agree upon a common understanding and concept for the movie between Elena, Ali and I. We all liked the concepts of a silent film, ran by music, and portraying human relationships. Elena did a great job with editing and putting together our ideas on the computer. She was able connect and arrange our ideas for a final production.
The song in itself was chosen before the idea of the movie was created. The song was also the soul inspiration of the movie. We liked the fact that it was upbeat and with that we could make an inspirational, upbeat and creative short film with the sounds it provided us with. Our film is cute and powerful; we can guarantee a smile just from the plain old good vibrations our film gives off. The easy and calm concept makes it easy and compelling to watch while the underling relationship and plot make it compelling to watch. My favorite scene within the film is the sequence that shows Josh, one of our main characters, opening up a pop-tart. In my opinion this scene explains the simplicity of individuals and their morning routines. It exemplifies how we are all different in the order and routine we go through but the feeling and outcome that we achieve by doing different actions ends foreshadowing similar thoughts and behavior. I overall enjoyed making a film and loves collaborating the different thing we learned in Rhetoric of the Moving Image into one final masterpiece.
