Jurassic World: Evaluation

One Minute Movie Challenge Evaluation

Our Film:

Above is the one minute trailer of the remake of Jurassic World

Evaluation
During the one week of filming and editing, our first project came out well and I myself was impressed with the amount of work that our group had put into this one minute movie and we all worked hard on producing it.

On the first day, we planned on what topic we were going to do, and finally, we ended up deciding on filming a remake of a movie. At first we came up with the idea of filming a parody of a horror movie but since there were already a lot of films and videos on social media that made parodies of horror movies before, we decided to instead, film a remake of a recently released action movie. We finally agreed on remaking Jurassic world because the storyline was easy to follow, it would turn out funny if it was a parody and most importantly, each member of the group can play at least one part in the film due to the number of notable main characters in the movie. During the planning, we looked at Nigahiga's movies in minutes to get an idea of parodies and how to apply comedy into our work.

Here are examples of the "movies in minutes" by Nigahiga.



Equipment
For me personally, I thought that using the camera was the most difficult part of this assignment because you have to control your camera and adjust the white balance and brightness to create the mood of the video. Furthermore, you also have to remember to follow the 180 degree rule when suitable and also, you have to remember the different camera techniques such as long, mid, pan, track or close up shots in order to create mood, suspense and comedy. I had difficulty controlling my hands even when I use a tripod which made most of the footage in our video a little shaky. But on the other hand, I had most fun using the camera even though it was challenging because you get to control the scene and the outcome of the movie and I personally enjoyed being the cameraman and the director in my group.

Final Review

This is the final review of what our class and the other class commented on our work

In conclusion, our movie has its positives and negatives. What i personally think was good about our movie was that we had many props and costumes, our story is good and our acting made the audience laugh. However, I think we need to improve on our editing skills, camera work and time management on shooting the scenes and bringing in the props on the right day. But overall, I am proud of my work and it was a good first attempt. 

If I had to do this project again, I would help out more with the editing and not let Shir edit by herself. I would also want to improve my camera skills and make them better. Finally, if I had to do this assignment again, I would want to have a longer time period on this work in order to get a better final product and better responses.
