Final Task

 

 


Finally, the video is done. I would've never thought that making a 2 minute movie would be this hard. I really had to use all the skills I learned throughout the year for the project to turn out how it did. However, the experience itself was a mix between stressful and fun. There were many unexpected twists and turns. From spring break to travel plans and just general bumps in the road. Almost everything that could go wrong did. But there were also  good moments where we were able to come together have fun and film. In these moments everyone got to showcase their individual filming and movie skills. Overall, the process behind this movie was crazy, hectic, but also really fun. I can't wait for you guys to see it!

The utilization of cutaway shots was also common. For instance, the protagonist woke up and the shots cut from him to a man making breakfast demonstrating his alertness. Cutaway shots are used to create tension and suspense. These shots are quick glimpses of something that is not immediately relevant to the main action of the scene, but that adds to the overall feeling of unease and uncertainty.
