INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: This film was modern day adaptation of Hitchcock’s Rear Window. We took the same central message of a man spying and snooping on those around him, but used more recent technology; phones, cameras, cars etc. Creative Triangle gave each groupmate a different role and for this film I was given the job of the art department. Only having once crucial scene, I tried to make the subject’s car look as if it had almost been lived in to stress his obsession with watching people. This was my first time stepping into the art department so it help me gain a level of respect for all the small details that really help define the circumstances of the film.

TITLE: Scream Mockumentary
TYPE: Narrative Mockumentary
YOUR ROLE: Cinematographer/Editor

SOFTWARE: Adobe Premiere Pro
SPECIFICATIONS: 3840 x 2160
DURATION: 4:03
CLASS: FMX 331-1 Creative Triangle
PROFESSOR: Aaron Walker
SEMESTER / TERM: Spring 2023
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: In this film, a more humorous adaptation of scream explores the blossoming friendship between Casey and Billy. This mockumentary style production teases at the overly dramatic scenes that Scream is notorious for. As the cinematographer, I made sure to stray away from the usual sinister, uncomfortable shots, and use more quick pan shots to help mimic modern day documentaries. The result was a very comedic and ironic effect, which was exactly what I was hoping for. This film helped me grasp the importance of shot selection. With so many handheld tracked shots, I had to be cautious as to not drag down the quality of the film. In the end the camera movement is a bit forced with ill lighting so it was a great takeaway on how to improve in the future.

DURATION: 4:44
CLASS: FMX 312-1 Narrative Production
PROFESSOR: Taylor Curry
SEMESTER / TERM: Spring 2021
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: A Local followed Cove, a surfer that lacked much motivation in his every day-to-day. Once his relationship with his girlfriend Ash gets rocky, he has to find the drive to put in more effect. This was my very first big narrative production I under went. As a freshman, this was my first production class at the university so I made a lot of mistakes and learned the consequences rather fast. This film helped me understand the importance of capturing good audio – I had to perform 3 reshoots because of mic trouble and feedback. I also learned the hard way that filming on the beach can be tricky if you don’t have the right equipment. The beach scenes were overexposed, and since then I have learned the importance of ND filters. This film helped me set my expectations for the next few years to come and what would be expected of me in my major.

TITLE: Grim (No Sound)
TYPE: Narrative Horror
YOUR ROLE: Director/Editor
CAMERA: SonyA7III
SOFTWARE: Adobe Premiere Pro
SPECIFICATIONS: 1920 × 1080
DURATION: 1:50
CLASS: FMX 312-1
PROFESSOR: Taylor Curry
SEMESTER / TERM: Spring 2021
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: Grim was a film that helped me work on my lighting skills. As I was quickly getting comfortable with lighting setups, I realized I lacked knowledge of manipulating natural scene lighting. This film follows a guy whose lights start flickering uncontrollably until he realizes there might be paranormal activity at play. I experimented with computer/tv screen lighting, flashlights, and even strobe lighting. It was a good step through the door in helping me understand other ways I could play with lighting besides the traditional GVM light kits.
