Now that I have completed the task of creating a script and a storyboard I've come to a block in the road with evaluating. I've had peers review my work to make sure it first off makes sense, and second if the shots I've set up for are possible. Their feedback was helpful in the sense of giving me confidence to carry on and further my project, but I had a feeling too much positive feedback was to good to be true.
I picked up a camera for the first time for an interview with my TV News class. It was then I felt the leeching of fear emerging, sucking all of my confidence away. The preparation to set up for one shot took more time than I anticipated, and every cord, plug, light, battery, and mic had to be lugged to the location. It was not at all what I had expected. This made me for a moment rethink my entire project, which inevitably manifested into another fear sucking boogie.
It was recently announced that a student in the Communication Department, Carolyn Malachi, was nominated for a Grammy. Kevin announced this in class and informed us that she started in this department with no experience with music at all, just passion, and a lot of it.
Now that I analyze my dilemma I understand that all I need to do is put forth the work to further my camera skills, and gain an understanding for making movies. So, this week is strictly dedicated to gaining the knowledge of filmmaking.
