Midterm project
I unfortunately didn't get as much feedback as I'd hoped because we were short on time, but I really appreciated Jill's advice. There were a lot of things that I was unclear about and I also felt like my story would be flat since there isn't any real conversation or conflict, except an internal one which doesn't really become clear until the end. If I can shoot this right, hopefully I can evoke some type of feel into the viewer, since this whole piece is like a self-reflection. If I can get my old video camera to work, I could definitely have two obviously different styles with the flashbacks/ home videos and the "reality" or present-day. Either way, my dad also has a video camera I could use to get two different feels. I really hope that I'll be able to use one of the old-school churches where my parents live, but if not then I can always try and fake it by filming my parents in a pew then using my friend's church out here in Memphis for all of my scenes. Jill's right that it'll be hard to film myself, but I've been doing this for past projects as well as the ones for this class, and my dad is also good with video cameras, so I'm sure with his help this will turn out well.
I'm looking forward to it!
