My Mini Documentary

Below is a summary of the readings I found helpful to create this project and other informative videos that assisted me.

My Mini Documentary:

In Tom Schroepel’s final chapter of The Bare Bones, he says moving pictures are a subjective art. There are no rights or wrongs but there are some things that usually some rules and things that work better and look better than others. As long as you understand what you are doing and don’t lose focus on your project you should feel free to be creative and try new things.

You should welcome the criticism and learn how to grow from it. It’s the only way to becoming great and making progress. Analyze your success so you can replicate it in the future. Ultimately, try to avoid repeating your failures and don’t be afraid to be creative!

Examples:

I liked this video a lot because he showed a good J cut then went on to explain how to effectively edit a J cut and what looks good and bad.

I liked this video because it used popular movie clips as examples and had an overall great explanation of what each cut was.
