                                            Sound/Vision Summary

The following is an evalution of my first short film.  I am new to the wolrd of filmmaking and was very nervous not to mention that I did freaked out a bit.  The idea of  making a short film that I would have to share piblicy scared me a lot. I also had never directed or edited anything much less a mini movie. My favorite part of the process I enjoyed very much was working in group filming and acting. It was very exciting and fun! 

I learned so much not only in the practical sense but also technically with programs like Adobe Premiere Pro,  which taught me the funadamentals of editing. It was incredible to see my idea and work take shape. The one one thing I found challengeing was the producer aspect of the project. Creatively I can come up with ideas with no problem, putting the production and paperwork together was both confusing and difficult for me. Once I start to do more projects , I think it will become easier, definitly not impossible.

I am very proud of my short film. I really didn’t think I would of  thought myself a short film director/producer. I do see the good and bad things of both the process and the final outcome. For example I can see some mistakes and perhaps some things I could of done much better. But now I know and will most definitley apply to my next project. I think it’s healthy to be somewhat critial of ones work it’s how we become better at our craft.

I think this class model and projects will be very helpful for my career . I believe it is very important to have great communicative professor that supports you in your process. (Not to mention a great crew.) Thank you to all of those who helped put “NV” together.

Ovophobia

Taking Alfred Hitchcock's fear of eggs (ovophobia), this award nominated short film riffs on Hitchcock's seminal chiller, 'Psycho', and suggests how such an phobia might have been portrayed by the master of suspense and the macabre.

Lovefield

Lovefield combines elements of HORROR, SUSPENSE and DRAMA to create a story that takes the audience on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Cool short Film

The End

The year is coming to an end. I have been asked to summarize my experience as a design student, using my blog as a point of reference. When the FDA program began, we were asked to create a blog, personally I loved the idea! But, when it came time to start the blog it became a little difficult especially with design, what do I post? what do I say? Some students had no problem they either had already created a blog and or have had some experience with it. For me this was some- thing new. The idea seemed great to have a space to share my work, and show the world my work : drawings, designs, as well as my first stop motion project. I soon realized it would take a while to create this blog and it is more than a place to just hang pictures, is a place where I can share my experiments, my school projects. In my personal experience, I believe that having more workshops would help a new student to breakdown projects and work. I think at the same time it encour- ages one to share and explain work on his/her blog.
Actually along of the course I was have some problems. I never had tried to write like a designer before. I knew what I liked, but I did not know how to explain it without sounding boring, and less bright. With time I have learned more because I have been interested in checking out more blogs from different designers. I could say now that I have a better understanding on how to design a blog. I can add better postings to my blog and more work. One thing that made me realize how good having a blog is, it was the fact that two weeks ago some friend who works in a visual effects company ask my to help them create a logo for the company. I was so excited about the idea to have this chance. Showing my work, my progress, my mistakes, and not worrying about how other people was going to perceive me. I need to have more confidence in my self, that’s somethink I need to work on. For me is hard to write in English and the same time express myself. I need my time to try to show who I am, what I’m in- terested in, what I like, and what I think about anything related to visual culture, is something I want to do better. I think the idea to do the summarize blog is good for me because of this. I can try to talk about myself and how I feel about my blog. Something that I need to do in my blog more often, ask for opinion from my teachers and try to do my best. Sometimes is good to receive criticism and thinking of ways to amend the mistakes and try to do the best I can for my future as a designer. Sorry for the mistakes.
