Reflection

Looking at this class, it seems crazy to me that this semester is already over. My first semester in college is over, and honestly I already wish I would have done some things differently.  Looking at the project, I wish the class wasn't o centered on a group project for a final grade, as group projects don't show someone's learning or even overall effort. My project about the ice hockey team was quite enjoyable, however. It was very hard to get interviews with people and get them to draw out there answers; most if the time they would give a few word answers and that's really hard to work with when trying to construct a documentary about it. Getting over the troubles of that, I can say I am very proud of my rivalry section of the documentary, highlighting all the intensities of the Louisville game. If I could change one thing about the documentary, I would change to interview someone else other than Corey the senior; he doesn't help with any of the structure, and I had to struggle to fit him in in most places. I was responsible for a lot in the project, taking over as the coordinator and doing a lot of editing, putting the video together and setting up all the times to work. I don't think I could have done too much more without making it a solo project. I contributed a fair amount of work for sure.

Looking at the class holistically there is a brighter light shining for me. I enjoyed this class very much; using the blog posts is way better than having to write 4 essays, as we got to explore interesting subject matter that is real-world, and not curriculum based only. I do think I have a different thinking now, and I do think that I can analyze things with more detail now. The class speaking was nerve wrecking, but I appreciate that you keep the videos so I can see how silly I look up on stage, I kept that image in my head for the next time I performed. I think it helped, as I don't think I was talking as fast as I did the first time.
The teaching style you employed was effective, I think more lectures (something to make us take notes on) would make it a little better. Sometimes when you were up in the front of the class talking about one of the videos we were supposed to watch, I felt a little disinterested if the subject wasn't interesting itself, so my mind wandered. A lengthier or more descriptive lecture or rubrics for projects is my only suggestion.
All in all, I loved this class, I made actual friends that I hope to keep all of college and I learned some things that will help me going forward, in the real world.

Library work day number 2

Just some thugs at the library working

Ice hockey story board

Story Board:

(Possible Timelapse)

(Narrative throughout)

Show the outside of the Ice center

Show the stands in the beginning

Show the players getting ready (shots of gearing up, warming up, etc)

Show an interview about the season, starting, and how fun it is

(time lapse of the zamboney)

Show players getting ready and skate out on the ice

Have the face off in the beginning, and start with explosive music

Continue with more action shots, game footage

Break with another interview and more narrative

Show shots of the players possibly practicing outside of the rink in a more casual environment

Incorporate some workout footage

More slow progression with low intensity footage

More action footage with explosive music

End with a question of what ifs? If you all win, if you could play anywhere, if you were a d1 team, this will illicit the most creative responses and see if the team has a consensus answer or not.

Details:

Time lapse of outside of the rink, long shot. This shows how the line forms, and the atmosphere heading into each game is like.

Time lapse of the zamboney, longshot (Shows he transformation of the ice)

Shots of the stands will include medium and close shots, (possibly extreme close-up to show facial expressions i.e. “game faces”) maybe a few long shots to show a packed crowd

Action shots will be mainly medium shots with some tracking shots (This will get a feel of he movement of the players, and the action of the game)

Practicing shots will be the same as the other game time action shots (Will show close up also to see the sweat in order to relay how intense the workouts are on the player, thus giving representation of the work they put in to it every day)

Workout footage and the footage of players getting ready will be mainly close ups and extreme close ups with some medium shots

The interviews will be mainly a close up or a long shot, depending on if we want to convey emotion more, sternness, or the passion of which the player is speaking.

The interviews will be shot this way also to convey that the hockey players are all people who strive for the same thing.

The interview with a head of the team will be met with high emotion, as this will be to get a fiery response from the listeners.
