https://prezi.com/view/gN1avUMvzTbKEe01lplY/ This is the link to my Creative Critical Reflection on my film "The Note". I used the website Prezi to create it. In the Prezi, I included pictures to go along with the text. I found pictures online, I used screenshots of scenes comparing my drafts and final product.

SCENE1 Car is turned off keys land on dashboard, NOAH dials "Mia lil sis" and calls her.   NOAH: (voicemail) Hey Mia, i'm here to pick you up, i'm in the north lot. More voice mails play over lapping each other, gets faster and more stressful but it suddenly stops. NOAH breathes sharply. He starts texting her. " Hey i'm here" "In the north lot" " C'mon" " dude" . NOAH calls her one more time, leaving one last message,   NOAH: " Moms gonna kill you if you miss your first therapist appointment, you know what, whatever i'm coming to get you " Noah wonders the school looking for his sister. he finds her walking the track and reflecting. NOAH: Mia!  MIA looks his way and sadly walks towards him. He hugs her, she doesn't hug back. NOAH: We have to go, why are you out here? MIA: Well, I've been skipping school and walking the track ever since he cheated on me, to reflect, think o...

This is my quarter 3 submission. We had to re shoot a scene that my partner recorded vertically, so this is the revised quarter 3 submission. For the revision, we met during our lunch period. We tried to find an area to film that it would seem like somewhere would go if they were upset. We decided to film on the stairs of one of our school's buildings. The stairs are in a quiet, secluded place that it seems someone like Mia would go to recollect her thoughts. I also changed some minor things, such as the audio volume.

This is my rough draft Quarter 3 Submission. I could not attend one of the scene shootings, so my partner was in charge of filming. Unfortunately, she forgot to record most of the footage horizontally. Most of the videos in this rough draft submission are vertically filmed. We are trying to set up a time and date to get the actors together to re shoot. We will have to find a day that everyone can remember to bring their costumes, and a day that they are not busy.

I integrated technologies such as hardware as software and online in my film project.  I changed the video recording setting on my phone to 4K at 30 fps. Before filming, I had it set as 1080p at 30 fps. The quality I changed it to makes the footage filmed to become a better quality, that would not have happened if I would not have changed the phone camera settings. I edited my film on my Macbook laptop. I used iMovie software on my laptop. iMovie made it possible for me to put all of the clips together. I used iTunes to buy and download the song that I use as incidental music in the background of my film. The song is an instrumental version of Glee's "Get it Right" Without these technologies, the creation of my film would not have been possible.

How did your production skills develop throughout this project?  My production skills improved  in the process of creating my film.  I realize the small details that go into making a film happen.  Throughout the course of making my film, I had many instances where I could learn from my mistakes.  For example, for one of the scene shootings I could not attend, my partner was recording the footage on her phone. My partner accidentally recorded some of our footage vertically. We then had to reshoot the footage, and now we learned a valuable lesson not to record vertically.  My partner and I both shot our film using our iPhones from different angles. I then compiled all of the clips from each of our phones and then put them on my computer to edit. I was mostly in charge of the editing of the project. I picked up on many new editing techniques and creating my film gave me the opportunity to learn them. I would most likely have not learned the editing techniq...
