Thesis Project: Screening

The Senior Media Thesis screening happened Thur/Fri, May 2-3 and it went well. In front of a full Park Auditorium, The Book, received a round of applause and great acclaim from both peers and professors.

After a long semester of hard work, we finalized the film and exported for viewing. Since the project was part of my college credit, the professors frequently checked in with us and requested us to keep journals on our work, what we learned/how we used it, our feelings/thoughts/problems during the project, etc. Overall, it was a great learning experience.

Thesis Project: Final Stages of Post

Today, we are exporting a picture-locked film and sending it off to our sound editor/mixer. For the past few days, I have been working very closely with the two producers to finalize the editing process -- reviewing all of the scenes, double checking for continuity, setting up transitions, creating the credits, etc.

Although it is nice to be your own boss, it is often helpful for someone else to oversee / review your work. I like to think that the work I produce is top notch and the best it can be; obviously that is not always the case, which is why having a second (or third) set of eyes to review the edits is incredibly effective. This film, I have the luxury of having two producers who have been double and triple checking my edits to ensure everything actually is, the best it can be!

Dates for the screening has not been officially announced by the Park School; once announced, I will post about it!
