.MOV Film Festival


A keyword is a word that has strong significance. In filmmaking keywords are words that connect with your audience and are meaningful to your audience. My keywords connect with my audience because they're things that have happened to all of us, we have all been embarrassed before, we have all judged someone we didn't know that well before, and we have all had consequences for our actions. We are hoping to entertain our audience, to make them laugh, that is why another one of our keywords is entertain.
Let's get to work

Production Plan












Our overall message is to not be rude or judgmental to your subs and that they can teach you just as much as your normal teacher can.  We want our audience to learn with the students, in our sitcom, the lessons that the substitute is teaching along with the lesson the students learn when their real teacher comes back.  We are hoping that the audience will be entertained but also learn this important lesson. It can apply not only to students but also adults, to teach them that we shouldn't judge people because we don't know anything about them and also because they can teach us important life lessons.


McDonald's got me like
Ugh math
Like all group projects our team faced many challenges, the first challenge we faced was trying to get a time we could all get together. With sports, family and other priorities its hard to find a day three people can all get together to get work done. With what limited time we had to film, it was really hard to get at least one day in the week, lucky for us most of our sitcom takes place at school so we were able to get most of our filming done at school and the few things needed at home we were able to get done. Overall this project was a lot of fun, Meagan, Tu and I work really well together and had a lot of fun creating this sitcom.

Tiny Spherical Worlds


When we are taking the pictures for our tiny spherical worlds, we need to take more then one image. One image is not enough to take because with one picture, you can't get the same effect as you can with multiple images.  Although many images is better than just one, if you don't take the pictures right, your image is going to end up a disaster. To take perfect pictures, make sure that the horizon line stays straight and that you overlap your images.

A polar pano is different from a spherical pano because, a polar pano appears as though it was take from above the earth.  A spherical pano on the other hand, kind of looks like a crystal ball sort of thing. The polar pano has the sky on the outside and the earth/ land in the center.  In my case the polar panos also have a black background.  The spherical pano has the sky on the inside/ center and the land on the outside.  The background of this one is white. In my opinion I prefer the polar panos, I think they look nicer overall but I really like the spherical ones too.

I think that the fact that I made the  line less obvious made my tiny worlds so convincing.  I also think that when I was editing them I didn't make them look SUPER unrealistic, just a little more surreal than what it normally looks like.  I think I also made them look a little more convincing by blending some of the colors together so that the colors match throughout.  Overall I really liked how my images turned out and I had a lot of fun with this project.
