The one world film project was a project where my partner and I were given a random word and we have to use our knowledge on filming techniques to create a 1-minute to 1-minute and 30-second film with no audio to convey a story that resembles the word we were assigned
To start off, my partner and I brainstormed a plot we could do for our film, and once we did we grabbed storyboard papers and started to sketch out different scenes and the meaning behind them as well as techniques to give the film some life.
The storyboard helped us visualize what we wanted to do with our film, as we were creating it, we got new ideas during the process, and we used those ideas and implemented them into our storyboard. For example, during our initial storyboarding, we decided to add a scene where a close-up shot zooms into the main character's eye to represent deep thinking or a feeling of realization.
We used Adobe Express to put all of our clips together and get rid of the audio. In Adobe Express, we also got rid of the saturation in some of our clips to make it represent a hypothetical scenario that the main character is thinking about, which appears right after the shot that zooms into his eye happens.
Overall, I think we did a pretty well-rounded job. I think we used our knowledge and applied it to our filming of the shots very well, which made it easy to capture the story of the main character and his morals. I believe we could have executed our shots better with more techniques to add more depth to the plot of the story, and added more scenes in general to make the film easier to understand. Next time, I would like to plan with the storyboard more thoroughly before going out to film, as many last-minute changes occurred right before filming, which reduced the quality of the film itself.
