With this specific project, I felt as if I was ready to dispose of it before I even began.
I was excited about the chance to make another PSA, and I was determined to do well. In all honesty I feel restricted when creating projects here. It's as if there is so much more that could be used and done in other places but here we are constrained to the minimal basic equipment and sometimes not a very passionate classroom. It does drench the drive to come up with quality work but excuses make it seem more difficult to see past whatever the factors may be. I felt really well about my first time directing each scene- the lighting was great, the subjects worked excellently, and it was nice to look forward to the editing process. However, I hadn't payed as much attention as I should have when directing the lines to each person. I think I was too excited about getting it finished and wasn't thinking clear. It was disappointing, but that's not the only fault I had done. I didn't even import it into my computer because I was so flustered with the thought of messing it all up. I literally started from scratch again. I wasn't happy with myself and even though I had another chance to make it right, I treated it like it was less of a project. I get so caught up in doing it right that I almost make it worse. There isn't much I like about it. And it's not really that i'm being hard on myself, but I don't know if it was my style. I shouldn't let the fact that I can only use Final Cut stop me from making a great piece, but I get upset about the recurring feeling of being held back from what could potentially be done. This project was fun and interesting to work with, but I am not happy with what I've done.
