Evaluation - Question 5

My production skills developed throughout this project so much that I couldn't even believe myself.Starting from cluelessly knowing what I have to do in class to an acceptable film maker. 
It is a big jump for me since this is a new subject for me and I was always struggling with ICT.I found my self more confident in interpreting codes and conventions that matches with my theme for the opening, exploring the deeper meaning of the subject/objects in my opening.Also, this project improved my planning and organizing skills a lot. As before I was a person who doesn't plan for anything  where I just go with the flow , by planning allows me to be precise and accurate in my work.Which I believe is a precious quality because it forces myself to not go out of place and always keeps my aim visible and lucid in my mind at all times  - very effective in the film industries especially in marketing for the correct audience.Furthermore, it keeps me on track of time and to predict and estimate the amount of time I need for the things I have to do and roughly predict when my work would finish.But most of all it reduces STRESS of unknowingly know what to do.I believe I am more confident in using Visual FX and that my skills have improved a whole lot as now.As my work is aimed at being abstract and quite absurd I had to make my film opening quite artsy.This gave me the opportunity to use AE ( After effect) on my daily basis to achieve the hallucination and haunting vision.Which at first I was a rookie at it but now I can fully say that I have improved a lot and I could   do a lot more effects with it which I am really proud of even though  I am not 100 % good with it.Also, in this project I further my ability by creating my work outside the box by experimenting with camera-work with limitless possibilities.For example I filmed my work in the swimming pool. Which took a lot of time and patience as It was not as simple as it seems.It was really complex and quite difficult to master the angles and the jumps ( into the swimming pool) at the same time.But I did it anyways.
The editing was hard at first but as time goes on with more practices and knowledge the editing part is not a struggle for me anymore and it became something I really look forward to in every class as it is fun and it is when me and my working-buddy (Arisa) talk about anything.
I believe this project is one of the projects that I fully express my creative mind, embracing my creative confidence as I wanted to achieve something that is outside of the box and quite bizarre which was really fun and enjoyable because I had to learn all the things on AE (after effects).Then again creative confidence is a powerful quality for marketing as it differentiate your work from others, making your work unique and YOURS.
