Entry 6 - Process of Film Making

I personally enjoyed the process of film making. I have taken classes in the past where I have made movie films. I also have an interest in movie making because my brother is talented at film making. I very much enjoy editing because you can take plain or average footage and make it into something creative and original. The one problem I had with editing is that it is extremely tedious. Sometimes to make the smallest edits, for a clip about 20 seconds long you spend about 5 to 10 minutes. Even though it is tedious, the final product is worth the work (if you know what you are doing). I am excited about my final project because I know what I am going to do and how I am going to edit it. If the final film comes out like how I am picturing it I will be very excited and proud. Another problem that hasn’t occurred yet, but most likely will is the quality of acting that I have available is sub par. But I will make the best of what I have and make it look good with my editing skills.

Process of scripting and storyboarding

I believe that scripting and storyboarding are both crucial when it comes to making a movie film. I think that the process of scripting is tedious and parts of it are unnecessary for short films for English classes in high school, but they are very important for making feature length films. I personally do not like scripting, because I am not talented at it. When I am writing down my ideas I usually leave things out. I am better at coming up with ideas when I am being active. When I am sitting down at a desk it is hard for me to come up with creative ideas for a script. I believe that storyboarding is very important. It helps you get a picture of what you want to put on camera. It is very convenient when you go to film it because you already know what you want to film and how you want to film it.
