Beginning Goals


Here are my goals

1. I want to learn about all the jobs on a film crew and what they all do. With this, I can figure out which job I would want to pursue later on in life. I also want to learn how to do each job well, so even if I am not doing a certain job then I will be able to help out someone with their job on set if they're needing of help or advice.

2. I plan on volunteering/ participating in at least two of the events mentioned at the beginning of the year (CreaTV, Cinequest, San Jose Film Festival, and Skills USA). I believe that these would all be great opportunities and experiences for me to use what I learned in the classroom in the outside world.

3. Learning how to proficiently use a cinema camera by the end of the year, if not semester. I have used a DSLR/mirrorless camera in the past before, but it seems it is a whole different ball park when it comes to the Sony FS5, or any other cinema camera.

Raiders of the Lost Arc Editing

I noticed that in the boulder scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark, the editing was very fast paced and had a lot of cuts. This style of editing is used to provoke an emotion of intensity. When he was running through the hall back to the entrance, the constant cut after cut made it so that the viewer felt anxious and had them wondering if Indiana Jones would make it or not. This played a key role in opening the film because it expressed the feeling that would be provoked throughout the movie and it also showed the first trait of the main character. It showed that Indiana Jones was daring and how he could get himself out of danger no matter what.

Lav Mics

Lavaliers are omnidirectional microphones and are really useful for news reporters, interviews, etc. They are able to be hidden in shirts and jackets in order to get some crisp, high quality sound. They are very light microphones, so it is easy to attach to your talent. I want more clarification on the loop that is used when setting up the lav mic.
