Look back at the goals that you set in the fall. Did you achieve them? Why or why not? How can you take steps or make corrections to achieve these goals? Where will you need to look to gather help or resources?
Looking back at the goals that I set in the fall, I have done fairly well at achieving them. Thus far, I have acted in nearly all of the films that the advanced class has made and I have also acted in a fair share of the beginners' projects. I have also grown much more as a filmmaker and have learned a lot more technical skills and knowledge, such as lighting. That being said, I haven't made any personal projects; however, I have been able to create a fair few projects that have more of my ideas and vision imbued into it.
Regarding how I can better achieve these goals, for the first two, there is infinite room to grow as I can act in more project and I can always learn more. Regarding the third goal, some steps I can take are stepping up in director and writer roles in order to give these projects more of a personal connection to me. I'm hoping to be able to take on these roles for the noir project and so I can look towards examples and different sources to learn more about noirs and writing in order to create the story and vision for it. For example, I could watch a variety of noirs to understand the storytelling of the genre for both writing and visually. I can also watch documentaries to better understand the process and meaning behind different techniques that are commonly present in noir films.
