One Word Film Project

 The One Word Film Project's goal was to make a brief film that incorporated and portrayed a single word. We were told to tell the story using various camera angles, shots, and editing techniques we had previously learned in class.

My partner and I came up with a few ideas to demonstrate the word "Reminisce" during the brainstorming session. Our choice was to create a short film featuring a high school senior remembering her first year in school beside her best friend.





We were able to visualize our project with plenty of help from our storyboard, which also helped us to understand the limits established by having to film in school.

Despite it being a complex system I was able to find all the tools required for the task.

Considering that the One Word Film Project was one of our first assignments for the course, I believe that although my partner and I had the right ideas about when to use particular shots and techniques, there was still much space for improvement in how we actually applied them. For example, when we wanted to show a zooming-in shot, it became a difficult task due to both of us having to be in the camera shot. Another example is when filming tracking shots, the shots turned out to be a little bit shaky and not clean which definitely can be improved for the next time filming.
