Review Bell High school Film Festival

I thought it was a success. It seemed like everyone was having a good time. During I think fourth period some one behind me said "what's up with film class.. It's all about death"I was laughing but kind of felt bad because they were unable to see some of the comedic films that were made.I spent most of my school day in the auditorium, period 1 setting up and I was able to attend during period 2-5. I heard a lot of positive commentary. I truly believe that the students enjoyed it and would like to have it again.

Progress

This weekend I need my dad for a very technical shot that I am unavailable to do by myself. He will be working behind the scene in the sense that he has a cue to turn off something .This week has consisted of working on props.

Progress this week

I retook some shots and replaced the old ones since I am now working alone due to people having different priorities, so I can claim this project as my own I have replaced a few shots. Since my film is about water conservation I need a shot with the help of my dad to shut off the water and no one else knows how to do that so I will finish with the last shots I need over the weekend.

Progress on our film

We have started on our water conservation PSA but some of the clips got deleted. So I only had time to retake the shots. It has been fun but getting use to the editing programs.

Progress on our Film

Our group kept on arguing so nothing got done. Now me and Sherry are going to do a psa on wasting water. The film we were working is being postponed.

Problems and Struggles

I know for a fact that I cannot categorize everyone's everyday struggles under a general basis because they attend Bell High School. If I were to take a guess, the only problem I can assume most students have is their family having a stable financial status. As our surroundings surely affect us we do spend one-third of our day in school. Many things can can occur during an eight hour time period. We can understand that teenagers aren't always a mature crowd and for example often don't know a proper way to handle a situation. Some can take things out of proportion and don't process or realize that a situation is usually misunderstood . Others can have different problems such as bullying or stressed due to the courses they are taking. These are very few examples. Problems can also develop in their household. What happens once the student goes home ? It maybe experiencing emotional or even physical abuse or maybe just witnessing it. There are many factors at play that we must take into consideration. Although one thing is for sure is that the school is overcrowded. In all classes students experience having many peers and it has happened that teachers need to request more chairs. In my freshman year, my P.E teacher said he had never experienced having 60 students. He always had 40 or even a little bit over but never 60. It must be a hassle for teachers that teach advanced classes due to the work they give out. Not only that but another downside is that students don't receive the attention they could get individually. An experience all students need because in college, students need to learn how to approach their professors. Having if they had those experiences they would not feel as intimidated because they would be use to conversing one on one their academic progress.

The Progress of My Film this Week

This week we finally got our idea down. In my group besides me is Sherry,Michael,and Hugo S. At the moment we have been righting down all our ideas that we can include in the film. We will at the end narrow down the ones we want for sure, but we did kept in mind which ones are not complicated. We have what days we will soon meet up.Everything is set up all we waiting for is the next day we will meet up after school so we can begin shooting the film.
