Poetic Film: What Beauty Is To Me

In my recent poetic film, I show and explain what beauty means to me with different clips that make me happy. First, I said playing basketball because It is my favorite sport and I enjoy it the most out of all sports. Second, I said sitting by my water fountain in front of my house because I usually sit there and read a book or just to relax so I can release my stress. Also, I said working out such as running around my neighborhood because that is another way I release stress and where I can focus on my self with really no distractions. I took many different shots including a point of view, close ups, and medium shots. My clips were pretty short due to because in my voiceover I'm already talking about the next topic. I would definitely do another poetic film about another topic because this was a great film to show what Im passionate and love to do. Here is my poem:

60 Second Film Challenge: Not A Millionaire

   Trying this new 60 second film challenge was really fun and exciting to film, edit, produce, etc. It took me about a day to figure out what the story was going to be about with some help and ideas from Mr. D. He gave me an idea about a missing phone and missing a call. So I decided to make the story about me winning a million dollars on a game show that I was recently on, they have to call me and I have to answer in order for the confirmation of the money. But I cant find my phone and when I do it stops ringing. I call the game show back and they said since I did not pick up or answer the phone when they called, the second place winner got the money. I took the most shots in this film but I did get the help from my mom to the film the shots in some parts. I wanted to do some new cool shots such as when I opened up the dish washer, the camera was put there already so it would look like I was looking around for my phone. I tried my best to make the film 60 seconds but I believe it is 1 minute and 15 seconds. I did not use a few clips I had because the film would have been much longer. But I am very happy with the outcome of this film and definitely would try to do some fun challenge like this in the future.

Script:

Horror Edit

Editing this film took me about a few days to do because of all film I had to watch and find the right shots to use. I had to follow a directors script and it was a little difficult because of how much footage I had but I got it done! The film started where this girl was in warehouse running from a man in a yellow suit with an axe. She was running until he caught her and killed her with it but she woke up from that dream. Then she went into the kitchen where she told her friend about the dream. Some shots I used in this film were long long shots and medium shots. I enjoyed doing these types of film where Im getting footage that i have to edit. it was a lot of hard work but it was worth it.
