Psa Recording

 This assignment was the first assignment I've done in this class alone. I really wanted to challenge myself in creating a film myself. I believed I could get the most out of it- since I feel like being in a group limits my creative liberty. This filming process helped me gain experience on what to do next time for future solo films, along with overall experience with a professional camera. I, unfortunately, have forgotten what model of camera I borrowed from ShortCutsTV, however, this was my first time handling a professional camera. I picked out a camera that would give me complete freedom of the end product of my cinematography. Unfortunately, I did forget how to properly work the camera- so I had to use the "auto" feature on the camera. This meant everything was done for me. Even though I was disappointed that I couldn't have full control over the shots and properly bring my idea to life, I worked with what I had and overall it's not the worst.

Reflection
There's a lot to reflect on looking back on my psa after it was finished. Audio in film is arguably the most important thing in media. I feel like the sound effects and audio I used truly didn't sound the way I wished it to, which I believe it threw off the feeling I wished to make with my psa. I feel the ending was too abrupt and it made it feel like an unsatisfying ending- not that it was supposed to have one, but it felt off. Next time I use a professional camera, I want to be able to have full control of the cinematography of the film with a better understanding of the camera itself, and how to create the feelings I wish to create.
