In my 5x5 all my clips are from Dalview Pool. The first one is from the upper deck of the pool looking out on to the main pool. The second shot is of me attempting to blow air rings. The third shot is simply of me and my sister throwing around the ball. The fourth shot is of the Well or the deepest part of the pool. The fifth shot is of kids playing a game called Sharks and Minnows. I used a Go-Pro Hd hero video camera to shoot my 5x5 and I edited it on I-movie. Though in the future I hope to use final Cut I am still learning all the functions of Final Cut and hope to be able to use it on my next film project. This pool day wasn’t my original idea. I originally was going to do a Blair soccer game but unfortunately lost the clips that I had shot. I am pleased about the 5x5 though and I thought it was a fun and interesting project. Another idea I had for a movie project is based off of the same criteria used for The 48 Hour Film Project which is a nationally recognized film competition (see below). In this competition contestants are given 48 hours to shoot and edit a short film but in their short film they must have a line or phrase which is creatively incorporated some how into their project, an object which doesn’t need to be prominent in the film but must be used, and a charcter (this phrase, objec, and character is the same for every group of contestants). We would definitely need more time but this could potentially be a very fun and creative project.
