Lesson 2 Reflection

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

What I'm most proud of from my presentation is that I was able to keep mostly everyone engaged because it seemed with most presentations, throwing facts seemed to not interesting people so it helps that my topic is something everyone can enjoy learning about and is interested in.  

2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       P+

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.

I feel I deserve a P+ because it was not only able to make time but it seemed that everyone ended up understanding what I taught, which is the whole point of the presentation. I don’t think I did anything extraordinary though to really deserve an AE but a high P seems accurate to me.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

What worked for me was being able to teach the lesson successfully without really chocking but also using material people want to see. People like to see pictures, relevant examples, and videos so with what I showed I was able to keep my audience engaged throughout the presentation.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

The only thing I’d change is mentioning my mentor; I was supposed to and planned on it but completely forgot.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

My second answer would probably be color correction in film editing.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update

1. What did you do over the break with your senior project?

During winter break I was unable to do many tasks because I had to get surgery on my torn ACL and Meniscus so I couldn't do too much for my senior project because of my inability to move around much. Although I did watch a variety of movies in which I observed with my EQ in mind, to help support the answers that I have for them. For example my basic answers for my EQ is color correction, pacing, and audio. The movies I observed were Django Unchained, The Graduate, and Short Term 12. All in which are very different yet wonderful films.


2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

I learned that not only do these movies have all the aspects of my answers but they really emphasizes them differently in each film. For example Django Unchained was a very action packed violent movie, so the shots most of the times were very quick, keeping the pace really upbeat and thrilling. Short Term 12 in the other had this really low lit sunset feeling throughout the movie, in which could be symbolic to the movie for it's a movie about struggling kids going through tough and dark times but in their struggle there's light in there. So I guess what was the most important thing I learned from from what I did was that all movies have similar aspects from pacing to color, but it's how they take that aspect and make it their own, making it different and beautiful. 


3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

I would talk to one of Mr. Miller's friends he suggested I talk to, she is a film editor for a small film production and with her expertise, she could help tell me which answer is the most important
