Film Reel 2020-2021

Opening Thoughts

I'm quite happy with the film reel I produced. The film reel successfully showed my skills as a director and editor. I have directed and edited many videos and included most of my favorite clips from many of the films. I've tried many roles in the past, but I've enjoyed directing and editing more than any other role. I made sure to include some of the better scene's I spent a long time editing, as well as the scenes I had a vision for while directing. The director scenes were included because I was able to make my vision come to life. I am quite proud of many of the shots in my reel, and that's the main reason I included them.

What I'd Change and Keep

If I were to change some of the film reel, I would really love to have some more shots to include at the end. A few of the shots I included in the second half of the reel were filler, as I didn't know what else to include. I tried to not edit any of the original clips, but there were a few I wish I had edited, due to odd lighting or random features that shouldn't be there. I was quite happy with the first part of the film reel: from the start of the reel to the end of the robber chase scene. I would keep the first half mostly the same, and change some of the second half one I had more clips. I was pretty happy with how some of the shots paired with the music, so I would like to continue to have the videos match the song. 

Final Thoughts 

I believe this was my best film reel so far. I'm excited to make my final film reel later this year and I hope I'll have even more amazing clips to include. While I did like this reel, I still believe I can improve quite a lot, both on the reel and as a film maker in general.
