Skills Commentary
I edited the film. My smart goal aimed to use color-grading to create a fitting atmosphere for the scenes we shot. The film was shot using log footage and in different environments that needed color-graded differently.
POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
When editing the title card at the end of the movie, it required a different type of editing to make it look good. This was because it wasn’t actually dealing with editing footage, but rather photos. On top of this, some of the shots had weird lighting, so editing it to look consistent was difficult.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
I worked with John and listened to his feedback to make the film match the feeling he was going for. I also worked with Audrey to make sure that everything fit together properly. Other small changes were made with the help of everyone else.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
I colorgraded the film in a way to match the atmosphere of each scene, as well as editing the footage in log. This helped out with the overall feeling of the film and genre we were going for.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
Managing my time and working together with the entire team to help everything move forward. So, this can help in the real world where using the limited time available is the best.
Reactions to the Final Version
James Clark said it was the best montage he had ever seen. Both people complimented our acting ability, as well as, the pacing, and the sound design of the film. Notable film-maker, Sawyer Conklin, noted that he quite enjoyed the film as a whole “The montage was really dope.” He also said “I wish it was longer”, because it felt sort of short overall.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
I thought that in the end, the film came together quite well. My editing had to change a little bit for different parts of the movie, specifically the montage portion of the film. The color grading was different in this film, both fixing the mistakes and working with the lighting utilized. The pacing of the movie came together to make the movie feel like a crime-action comedy.
