The goal of this assignment was to follow a person dancing and make the pieces fit together smoothly. I added a storyline of a woman who used to be a dancer but due to age can no longer dance. While going through her closet of old dance costumes she finds a portal that allows her to dance again. I attempted a Wizard to OZ effect by desaturating the color in the world when she is unable to dance and bringing out the color when she is able to move again.

Please watch from 6:13 to 7:00.

A dog finds a bone near a military base and it gives her magical powers.

I wanted to push my limits and see if I was able to do any special effects. I learned that a shot list almost become a suggestion when working with animals. It’s also important to film at the same time of day when it comes to lighting. My biggest problem is sound. I noticed my shots in the beginning of the film were very bland due to the fact that I was so worried about getting the sound right at the same time. Once I changed over to the shotgun microphone things became more relaxing. So..how do I hire a sound person for next semester?
