April Post
In the month of April, the ROP class was given an assignment to take a true story of their parents and create it into a video. Everyone pitched their ideas and out of about 20 students, 3 got chosen to be re-enacted. This assignment would be called "Based on a True Story". Now for me, the usual was to supervise and assist the students with their productions but this time, Mr. Miller gave me an assignment of shooting a behind the scenes of all productions and putting together a behind the scenes video. So during all productions I'd be running around shooting interesting footage of the groups and how they organize for scenes and how efficiently they do it. I'd shoot for about 3 productions days and then started editing. This was a different editing experience due to the fact that there was no starting and end. I would have to pick shots that seemed the best fitting to the music and shots that were interesting. The films were screened today and my behind the scenes will be screened next week.

Blog 19: Independent Component 2
LITERAL
a. I, Brandon Le, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.

d. I'd work on a big production in the I-Poly ROP video class with Andrew Morris who wrote and directed the production. I would as well work on a behind the scenes project on my own, documenting three production groups and putting together a montage of the process of the three productions.
INTERPRETIVE
Since my senior topic is film editing the only way to efficiently grasp the topic and learn from it was to just edit. So having a full on production is an area that only only benefits learning for editing but also just film making in general. I would also work on something different from a production and that would be the behind the scenes of the based on a true story videos. This take on film making was different because there was no restriction on what I could film so I would have to do my best to get the best shots from behind all that's happening behind set and putting together a montage to commemorate for the work of the productions. The component was significant because editing was a more difficult task for both the production and behind the scenes. Although I wasn't as hands on with the production editing, there was times where choosing the correct shots and how long shots should be held was a difficult decision for the editor so I'd have to give input a lot on how the pacing of the video should be. For the behind the scenes, I had to really emphasize on the progressiveness of all productions from setting up to filming really difficult scenes. So I'd have to choose the right shots and put them together along with a upbeat song. Overall the production days and the hours of editing ended up surpassing 30 hours. For evidence there are links to the video and pictures of the edits

How did the component help you answer your EQ?
As I said before, there were some difficulties on deciding with the pacing of the video since there are moments where arguments could be left with a long shot but wouldn't seem as appealing. Also continuity played a big role on the Capital Vice video because there was a lot of movements and conversations happening so the editor would have to make cuts that was logical and smooth. Color correction wasn't much of an impact but it gave more life to the video and fixed any problems with lighting. For the behind the scenes, since it wasn't production and was different, the focus was more so on pacing because of the song added. I'd pace according to the song so it wouldn't seem sloppy or off paced. So it helped my EQ by hitting all aspects of my answers.
