the big idea project reflection


This needs to be shared with me by Wednesday, March 6. Also post the answers on your Blogger.

How did you decide on your Big Idea?
         Every one faces with their own inner demons, some people may be stuck in the state of mind of distress, but others leave the darkness to go towards the light.  My life was struggling when I was younger, until I cleared my mind and let the angels in so that way Christ can save me from sin.


How did you decide on a way to show that Big Idea through video?
         Have someone seeing things or hearing things when they are in the dark state of mind, while God is still trying to speak to him in hidden ways such as saying “your lost.” Or having an object appear out of no where, so that way he may find his way.

What video concepts did you decide not to do? Why?
         I used many of my video concepts that I have learned for my film.  Concepts such as the Foley, method and cuts, I used a dominate camera angel, stationary and move mental camera angels.  The concept I did not use was a documentary or narrative.  Mainly because this film did not need much talking, it did not need to follow someone by what they are doing in real life, its following someone from inside ones mind.

Do you feel you effectively talked about your Big Idea with your video? Why or why not?
         Yes because I wanted to get my religious views out there.  I am not forcing any religion onto anyone, I am just simply sharing what God wants me to share, and that is if you seek the Lord then the Lord will let you find him.


What was the best part of this process (brainstorming, writing, planning, shooting, editing, etc?) Why was it the best for you?
         The best part was being able to experiment with different recording techniques.  Such as going to different locations, using others, trying to show that the viewer is in my mind.


What was the best part of choosing your own Big Idea as opposed to me setting one for you? The worst part?
         The best part was being able to share what I have been thinking, being able to show my thoughts and my own personal creativity and originality to others instead of coping ones idea to think of another that is just like what the rubric tells me to do.  It is not an original idea.
         The worst part was struggling with new software that I have never used before, being able to think of a good way to make the effects work. (It was worth it though)


Propose one additional Big Idea video idea that you could accomplish by March 14. I want very specific details: what, who, why, how, when, where.
         religion means the world to me, instead of giving hints like the last big idea project.  I would actually preach it, not necessarily to the viewers, but to others that want it.  I would make a documentary of me making away to preach to the general public of the Lords word.  The people who would be in it would be my camera team,
me my father and my girlfriend Sarah.
The project team
My friends Emily, Sarah, Aj, Leah, David and Joe.
As well as me of course.  I will show me getting a team together show the struggles show the ups show the creation process and show the people that I have influenced.  I have been thinking of this idea for a little over a year now, preparing to do this video regardless whether it was in school or not.  I want to change the world by showing others God like no one else has done before.  My friends and I are calling this “Project God Leads the Way.” The idea process has been going on for a while and it is time to put the project to a start.  Grant it, this video will not be done by the 14th, it will however most likely done by the 20th, a few days before spring break.
