So far the collaborative movie making is going great. We all have good ideas and miraculously, we've been able to film a few of them. I decided not to mess with editing it at home, since I use a PC and we'll be using iMovie in class, but I did do some background music searching.
Well, the video process is all about sharpening your abstract ideas and turning them into something which can be effectively communicated visually. So far, we've been able to do that. This is probably because what we're talking about in our film is pretty straightforward.
Using "low bridge" technologies is certainly best for our project, since our main intent isn't to dazzle any viewer with our production value but to translate our ideas as clearly and entertainingly as possible.
I find the process of film making to be very much like writing in that you have to cater your point to the medium and audience of each outlet. The tough parts are the same.
1. Your thoughts and ideas must make sense.
2. You need to balance developing and supporting your ideas with embellishing the format.
3. We, as classmates need to work together either in peer review (which is a kind of collaboration) or as direct collaborators in film.
Both are laborious and rewarding to varying degrees, and always challenging if you're doing it right.
