Who am I?

     My name is Constantine Feickert, and I was born on May 29th, 2005. I lived in South Dakota for most of my life, but I moved to the state of Florida in 2018. I am currently in my Junior year of high school at Fort Lauderdale High. I am currently working towards getting the Bright Futures Scholarship so I can attend college. After high school I plan on continuing my education. My dream college that I want to go to is Florida State University. I want to major in computer programming with a minor in marketing. My plan for a future career is to work as a programmer or as a web designer. I enjoy creating websites and working with code. Another possible career option I am considering is video editing. Working with adobe Photoshop and Premiere has helped me find my passion for editing.

    One reason I am taking this class is so that I can have a future career in the film industry. It was always my dream as a child to work on creating films that would be on the big screen. Through this class I can open a new pathway towards a future career in the movie and film industry. Another reason I decided to take this course is because of the opportunity for growth and development.  I am Adobe Photoshop certified. This means that I have taken and passed an official Adobe exam and have proved that I have the capabilities to work with Photoshop. I am also practicing with using Adobe Premiere to edit video clips together. I am taking a Communications Technology class that teaches me how to use Adobe Premiere and other products. By the end of the school year I plan on being certified in Adobe Premiere. Being able to practice with video editing and creating films can help me practice and become better at using the many different types of Adobe products.

Reviewing the Film

    Me and my group worked over the weekend and edited and created a draft of our movie. We made this in order to show other people and get their unbiased opinion on the film. We each split up after editing and went to different people we knew in order to get their opinion on the film and what we should change.       I decided that I would show my video to a few of my friends from middle school to hear their opinion. I sent them a message over social media and they responded after about an hour of waiting. They said that they would love to review my movie in order to help with the project. I sent them the file and I patiently waited for their response.      20 minutes later and they sent a message to me with their criticism. One of the bigger criticisms they had with the film was the music didn't feel like it fit with the movie. They said that the almost rock genre music doesn't feel like it fits with the situation being shown.     Another criticism they gave was the grainy fil

Editing the Film Based on the Critiques

    My group and I gathered all of our recommendations and critiques for the film into a google doc. In the doc we summarized the changes that we should make for the film. The most important change that we need to make is the look of the movie.      I met up with Rashawn after school to work on the project. Our goal for today's work on the project was to change the overall look of the film. The original filter on the film was meant to make the situation feel more tense. It is used often in other films to make the setting feel almost darker.      I suggested that maybe it was just the fact that the filter was too much. The effect looked good in other professional movies. But when we used it, it felt almost overpowering and too much. Rashawn and I changed the filter in Adobe Premiere Pro. With Premiere Pro there is an option for visual effects to change the opacity, color, and even saturation. Using these we changed the each individual shot in order to make it still have our intended

Filming the Last Shots

Image
      Today my group and I had our final day of filming. I met up with my team members after school and we took the bus to Rashawn's house. When we arrived we went to his room and discussed the plan for the day. It was decided that we would follow our original storyboard and improvise if we needed to. I carried the equipment and we made our way to a park near Rashawn's house.     The park was the main location for filming. I would still play the main role of James, Rashawn was Kofi, and Hadar was the DE Agent. The first few shots were simple. I acted out the scene of James meeting Kofi at the park.       An issue that we experienced during the filming was the camera. I worked with Rashawn to set up the camera angles. The tripod that we had wasn't working correctly and fell over a few times. The camera ran out of battery after a few takes and we had to improvise. I took out my phone and we used it for filming.      Using my phone we were able to get the last shots we needed
