Reflections

Using Premiere Pro, I created a film that relates how I used games while growing up to help me destress and not take life too seriously. I envisioned my film to show myself, played by different actors, portrayed growing up and using these games. I started out with a child actor and had him running through and obstacle course. Because this was supposed to be an intense scene, I recorded a bunch of dramatic angles. I then moved onto my current self. I had one shot where there is a wipe transition I created by panning the camera around a tree and using a mask. I ended showing my older self still playing the same games and I made sure to have my older actor have the same mannerisms used throughout the film.

This was my first project in Film and I enjoyed it a lot. I had never before actually been tasked with creating a film and given professional resources to create it. I got to learn the importance of multiple takes and how important directing your actors is. It was definitely a great project to start with.
