Reflection Questions

      I called my video Fire. It is about a man who purposely sets a music festival on a rampage when he sets the inside of the building smoking. In my video I started with a video clip with the effect of noise and grain, to make the clip more interesting to the eyes. For the first transition, i used the transition of fading to white and then showing the next video to seem like the clip is a flashback. For my other transitions i used the normal fading. For my clock clip, I blended another clip in the background.  My idea for my video changed throughout the process. At first i wanted to do a video strictly about dancing, and i would use video clips such as the workout videos. I decided to change the plot of my video because i felt as if this would be more interesting to me. My old plot was more broader than this plot. I wanted my video to interest me.Something that influenced me to make this plots were all the detective shows i have watched. I have always been interested in detective shows and mystery shows. Those stories influenced me to make the plot more suspicious. The background music made the video more intense with how the beat drops and how well it goes with the video. The elements i feel that are interesting were the blending in the videos and the way that it transitions to real time and then flashback to make the video more artsy and a bit confusing. The part that surprised me is how well the music went well with my video. It made the video more dramatic. The thing i would improve next time, would be finding more interesting videos to go with the plot, more dramatic scenes and sound effects, and adding more transitions and more blending with the videos.

My Favourite Parts
My favourite part of Deadman Don't Wear Plaid was in the beginning when the car barely stops and he gets out of the car when it is moving. I like this part because it shows that he is in hurry to do something, which means he's up to something. I also liked the part where the detective passes by him as he is looking at something in the safe, I liked this part because now he is suspicious that someone is following him.
My favourite part of Metropolis was when the smoke came out of the building. I also liked the part when the girl comes out and sees what is going on and doesn't really do anything.
My Favourite part of Battleship Potemkin was when the baby was rolling down the stairs .




Video Idea
For my movie, I want to use the beginning clip from Deadman Don't wear Plaid where the guy walks into the building. I then want to transition into a flashback to a concert. I want the story to be as if the guy walking into the building set the building that the concert was being held in on fire and he's trying to runaway from what he had done. I have a clip of a concert (flashback) and in between that clip i have clips of the person who set the concert on fire and the way he is trying to get away from what he did, he is the suspect. I then have clips of people running in terror out of the building where the concert was i will use clips from Battleship Potemkin where people are running out of the building, in between those clips i have clips of the suspect. I then end with the guy going into the train as if he is running away from his problems. I want the video to be sort of like a flashback and then real time.
