This I Believe Movie Project Reflection

I thought this project was really fun. Designing it and also filming it didn't really feel like a project to me, even though it was. My ideas actually changed while I was filming. I decided to take a different route. Originially, I was supposed to be in most of the clips, but I decided it would be better I was the one filming it. Personally, I don't really like being the center of the movie. So even though all the beliefs came from me, others were holding up the signs that I made. I picked people that sort of matched the belief I had. The different people I chose were the ones that came to mind when I looked at my beliefs. Also, there were some clips that had no people in it. I simply wrote my belief in different and creative ways on the board. I was actually surprised to realize that i really liked the ending product. Usually, I don't end up liking the project that I make. I always have a different picture of how it was supposed to look. Even though the ending product of this project didn't turn out like I had originally planned, I still liked it. I decided at the very last minute to make the whole movie black and white. I'm not sure why, but it just seemed appropriate. The background song I put in was "Upside Down" by Jack Johnson. It totally went with the movie and I love that song. Without the song, I think the whole movie would have been different in a bad way. Overall, I just loved the outcome and can honestly say this is one of the funnest projects I have done.
