Film Reflection - May 7, 2010

Today was a double lesson where one group member (Zoe) was absent. Despite this, we still wanted to try and achieve as much as we could within the 90 minutes. We decided to dedicate this time to writing the script and then start the storyboard so that we could start filming as soon as possible.

As we sat down to write the script, we felt that we didn't really have a good idea of what exactly was going to happen in the music video scene to scene, but we did feel that the timing and rhythm of the footage with the music would be very important. So, we used this time to listen to the song and annotate when and where different verses were sung and when and where there was no lyrics etc and what the lyrics were if there were any. This really helped us understand how we were going to set up the song and write the script and it will also help us a lot in the future.

Then we set out to start writing out different shots we want to take. As we did so we were getting ideas out, but I feel that we are just babbling and don’t really have a good enough set plot that everyone understands. I feel that in order for our film to be successful we really need a plot that everyone understands.

The problem is that our group all have ideas but can’t communicate them well to the rest of the group and we are having trouble collaborating our ideas together which is why we don’t have a plot yet. That is something our group still has to work on - understanding each other's thoughts. In the next lesson, I think it is important that we have a plot we all agree on before working on the script again.

Today, I feel I was most like the IB Leaner Profile Thinker because I was helping write the script which is quite hard to do with my group and I was trying to creatively express ideas and themes without being too literal. I feel that our whole group needs to work on being more like the IB Learner Profile Communicator.
