Today we watched our self-portrait films. After watching the portrait made about me, I can say that I am completely blown away and impressed! Cori certainly went to great lengths to edit the film and it is better than anything I could have imagined. One of the highlights was how she removed the color making the film seem more like a memory in my head vs a film in real time. Also one of the things I was worried about was my lack of guitar skills, (which I am currently learning), being shown to the class. The edits masked most of my mistakes and made it seem like I knew what I was doing. I am grateful for this. I also enjoyed how she not only slowed down certain parts, but also reversed frames to go along to the music. It definitely seems like a dream sequence and that adds more emotion to the film. My favorite sequence from the film was how Cori slowed down my frustration when playing Call of Duty. I was playing online and there was an enemy player who was staying on my team's side of the map killing anyone that spawned in that area. Even though I reacted quickly, slowing the sequence down really helped bring out that emotion. Honestly I hope she reads this, because the film really did have a positive impact on me.
Looking forward I am excited to work with Cori, Kyndall, Tristan, and Natalie. I think we will some great ideas to bring to the table. I'm not going to spoil any of the ideas we have thought of so far, but I will say that it's something that will make the class laugh, or at least try to make them laugh.
