Plushie #1

When making this film, I learned many things about editing and I would also do many things differently for next time. I learned most of the basics in Final Cut Pro, like cutting and deleting film,  adjusting the color, adding music, and learning how to insert a title into the film. I also learned that you should just let the camera rolling, and don't stop rolling for every little scene. Also that you should let the camera rolling seconds before and after a scene to have a lot of room for editing. For next time, I will focus on trying to get more angle shots, and having the camera more steady and not so shaky. I would like to get more interesting shots of the scene and more angles from the same shot. 


Plushie #2

I think this film is better because it's not as choppy as the first plushie film. This film has longer takes, and I tried to include more angles when shooting each scene. I have a much more interesting story line than my first film. I like how the ending of my film came out, especially when the girl is throwing the bear. I combined two shots, from different angles, to create one scene. For next time, I learned that I should make sure to focus on the smaller details with the actors.  You can notice the girl is throwing the bear from a different arm at each shot when doing the same action. For next time, I would really work in my steadiness, and trying to get more angles from each shot when filming.
