I haven't had my portrait critqued yet, but I can already talk about a few things that I have learned just from seeing others and working on my own. I've enjoyed getting to see these other pieces and seeing the creative side of everyone else. A big reason why I liked doing my portrait was because it allowed me to be creative myself. Often times, I feel like I don't have a chance to come up with ideas and actually see them through so it was a lot of fun being able to get out and work on something. Working my D.P wasn't near as bad, or hard as I thought it could have been. I felt like we were able to work smoothly together and he was willing to listen to what I had to say. I was also open to hear feedback and take ideas, so I think it came together pretty well in the end. I'm looking forward to getting more hands on experience with the next projects.
I can honestly say that I've learned more so far this semester than I have the past three years when it comes to film and my Tcf classes. I have always loved watching movies when I have the chance, but before this class I wasn't able to notice things like I can now. This goes along with seeing the other projects. I like being able to notice things such as depth of field, exposure, lighting, color, etc. when I watch different pieces. I still feel as if I overlook a lot of things, but it's nice to pick out these technical aspects while I'm watching. I remember the Rule of Thirds from 201, but I wasn't able to put it into use like I can now. I try to think of this when I'm filming, and it's one thing I try to notice in others too. The same with depth of field and the vertical lines that show depth. I've always wondered how to "trick the eye" into focusing on a certain subject and now it's great to understand it. Hopefully I'll be able to take what I get from my critique and put it to good use in the future.
