Art to Life

The project "Art to Life" is one of the more interesting assignments of the semester. It requires knowledge of art, and also the creativity to form a story line leading to the piece of art. The project is a fantastic way for students to explore their creative sides, while getting the experience of editing and appreciating artwork.
Everyone in the group put in effort. However, sometimes being able to meet was difficult. Illness was an issue. In order to fix it, schedules should be more flexible, especially if an unexpected sickness occurs.
Difficulties occur during filming, such as continuity and timing. Editing fixes this most of the time, but if it can't, then shots have to be filmed again.
Some things learned during this film was how to create a story line to an already planned end. It allows the group to explore different scenarios that can all have something in common. Also, new ways of editing were learned. A similar project should be done next time, as this one is really creative and interesting.
Things already learned were easily applied during this project, such as how to appreciate art, the principles of balanced filming, and editing.
