Fith Entry

This week the film term completely ended. The Oscar's night gave an end to this whole film project. I must say the Oscar's were quite enjoyable. I enjoyed them a lot. Although later there was some controversy, it was really fun seeing everyone very elegant and parts of films. The awards were mostly fair, but some of them, in my own opinion, were not. Some people didn't deserved the Oscar, but what there is nothing I can do about it. It was a very cool night and I had a really good time.

This project can be summarized in one word for me, fun. Although there was a hard work while making the movie, it was really fun making. My whole group had a great time. My group and I think that we all worked really hard. All of us, without one this project couldn't have been possible. My work in my group was really good. I always collaborated with what I could, and there as always something I could do. I helped in every aspect, I brought my camera, brought my cloths and other implements used during the course of the film, I brought also very good ideas which the director sometimes agreed on using, and many more things. Those were things I did while filming. I was 110% active and putting my best effort in order to make this film. In other words, I clearly putted my grain of sand in this project. I also suggested to participate as a cast member and suggested some of the actors to be included. While filming I was always aware of the sound. I always thought ahead of everyone, what could be a good place to film, will the people be heard while they speak, is there too much wind, where can the gunshot go and etc.

While working with the editor, my work and also his were also remarkable. We worked together in order to chose songs, sound effects and everything. The music was chosen mostly by me but my friends collaborated a lot in that as well. The sound effect were really good, we got some place were we could download them and putted in the movie. With the editor we worked hard in order to synchronize the effect and the songs and everything. Something hard about the music were the changes, we had to cut the video into piece in order to gradually put the volume down in the song so that in didn't sound bad, and that toked a lot of time. But we managed to do it. My work was very good, and it is clearly shown in the movie. All of the members worked well and it was really good working with them. I think I would give myself a 7. I worked really hard for this film and I deserve it. I know there were some mistakes and that it was not perfect, but we are not pros and besides the finals result was really good. All of what I said before are examples of why I should get that grade.

We had a lot of fun during this project. It was really good. And like i've said before, we were motivated to do it. Some people who usually never do a thing, were working really hard to produce the film. It was a really good project which we had a lot of fun. Also the Oscars were great. The awards, the clips, the movies showed were really good. A lot of work was put behind that and I think everyone is really thankful with it.
