One Minute Movie Reflection

1. My partner came up with the main idea and I envisioned and elaborated on it in the writing of the script.
2. The biggest challenge during the writing process was learning the correct script writing format.
3. We revised our script 4 times.
4. Our biggest challenges during pre-production were figuring out how we were going to link together the shots and ho to get all the scenes we wanted to fit into the movie.
5. No. We didn't follow the storyboard.
6. The biggest problem during filming was setting up our props and background.
7. The fact that for a shot only a few seconds long you have to reposition the camera came as a surprise to me.
8. If I could do this project again I would design props that are easier to set up.
9. A challenge we had while editing our movie was that the computer was slow.
10. No we didn't have to re-record any of our scenes.
11. The movie was very different compared to the script so we wrote the script to match the movie.
12. Our movie also strayed from the storyboard so we re-drew it to match the movie.
13. The final challenge we had was that we didn't know how to save our movie project into a movie format.
14. My advice to other amateur film makers is before you attempt perfection perfect simplicity.

Outsider's Review

The movie of the Outsiders and the book version were refreshingly similar. The accuracy of many movies to their book originals is something that is too often overlooked in modern movie making. The Outsiders in the fact that they remained true to the book was great.

The major difference between the movie and book was that the book is narrated by Ponyboy while in the movie we miss out on some of Ponyboy's thoughts and his background knowledge of some of the characters.

One flaw I thought was the placement of the music. Its appearence I thought was misplaced and hurt the ambiance of the film.

I thought the teenage actors were a bit weak in their roles. I really didn't believe that they were actually in the position they are set in in the script.

I'd rate it at about 2.5 stars although to some people my rating would be tremendously low. This is only because the actual story didn't really pull me in at any point. I suggest it to people learning about society and money.
