It’s uncommon to find such an amazing teammate like Ryley. Her problem solving skills are out of this world when it comes to the work field. I was lucky enough to work alongside Ryley in my Film class. Ryley would give me tips and tricks on fixing my film projects any time I asked. Ryley is big on teamwork and problem solving. In one of the film groups we were in, we were short one member. She took the role of the missing member, and worked long and hard to fill in both parts in our group. Even with all this pressure on her in school and home life she always is so reassuring. The last thing Ryley would do is ruin someone’s day. Any one out there would be lucky to work alongside Ryley.
Employers want people who are confident in their talking skills, they also need someone who is good at storytelling and persuading (especially in sales). And most importantly they need someone who is dedicated to their job as an employee.

Training Source(s)
0:33 sec Vince Gilligan says script writing is not just dialog it is a whole structure and base of the film.

5:00 min the writer has sequences drawn out
6:39 min most of the writers talk about how you don’t need to write far in the story when you don’t have the middle done
7:51 min you want to get a rhythem
8:03 min have all your loglines and add the day date
I think the film is funny, but we could have utilized out time a lot more then we did. We also could have done better with us trying to make a film more scary.
POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION
21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
We ran out of actors so me and others played multiple actors for our film.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
We had a group chat where we all communicated on all the things we needed done. We also used Trello to inform each other on the jobs we finished.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
I used Ed Blogs and Trello, and youtube. Youtube helped me learn about how to write better. Trello helped me know what I needed to do next when it comes to what I film. On Ed blogs it shows my teacher what i was doing, and keeping track of the progress that I have done.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
These 2 months helped me know how to time manage more, and make something good out of very little resources, and time.
Reactions to the Final Version
I thought it was funny, but my face looked terrible in all the shots, the camera is very focused. But it was really funny to see how I was most of the actors in our film.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
I think the script was okay, it wasnt the best ive done, but I wished I had more dialog in the film.
Grammar and Spelling
It is not the best because I dont have auto correct.
deep space and flat space Limited space is a specific combination of deep and flat space Ambiguous Space The Film Frame Aspect Ratio The Digital Frame Aspect Ratio The Screen Aspect Ratio Surface Divisions use measurements like halves and thirds Contrast depicts settings
Line and Shape
Controlling lines like patterns in the backgrounds and shapes and objects in the room The more forward or back and shape edges make a big difference in how people interpret the film quality and focus are commonly used for serious situations.
Tone
Reflective Control (Art Direction) Incident Control (Lighting) Exposure (Camera and Lens Adjustments) using a scale of black to gray to white heavy shadows are shown to show more of a serious
Color
when a movie or show has a flat neon color and no dept to the film it is most likely a comedy when it consists of the colors black white or gray it is most likely a serious film.
Movement
when a character goes left they are typically the antagonist (in western movies) and if a character goes right it’s a good character or protagonist
Rhythm
a constant pattern shown in the film (not just music wise)
how do I make a character look unusual or have a paranormal aspect
the “possessed” character has his eyes widen and uncomfortable laughs. When he walks or makes facial expressions it’s very stiff and routine-like.
how do I get the facial expressions right?
The face doesn’t look the typical relaxed. In the first clip, the character has a very stiff but sad face. His eyes are wide and very red.
why this movie?
“Get Out” has an amazing representation of having hypnotized/unusual looks and movement. Wich is what I need to know in my film when characters start acting weird. And almost every demonic horror film includes possession in their stories. But this one has a nondemonic feel to it, in explaining how it’s different with their movements.
you get lost in the story because of entertainment and being in the flow
storytelling is joke telling
humans are born and live for stories and cross the barriers through time
give a promise
the narrator is an inviting invitation
Make the audience figure it out
people are smart enough to know that they don’t just want over explaining
has a problem
the main character has “an itch” and a want to live or do something
they need problems because life really does have problems
stories die when it is just good or bland or like a straight line
envoke wonder in other people
the whole point of stories is to change someone
use what you know
values and user experiences, and use what you already know
Summary
that stories are important and a necessity for human growth. learning from adults and peers means a lot. So no need to over-explain about the stories because humans’ minds already know to solve things. Use what you know about the brain and make information envoke and put wonders into others.
used steam as comedy( and the studio that made that film was a big impact and so was chaplin in hollywood) but chaplyn was kicked out for being a left ist
longest non fiction film made in scotland, and it used real people and more ethnic people than fetured in most hollywood films (made documentries popular)
Eric Roth wrote the wonderful film Forest Gump. And in his writing, he has so much tone and different feel in his writing. He had funny scenes then had very emotional scenes in the movie.
Training Source(s)
I would go to my fellow screenwriters and have them go over my writing. But I will notice and annalize my shows and movies that I watch.

To make multiple shoots and versions of the script to see how you like to see.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
We could make a group chat, and just agree and have conversations in our class.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
I will watch shows and see the writing rhythm in each episode (because I have a hard time with rhythm)
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
Talking with groups of 5 or more is helping me communicate with big groups of people.
Reactions to the Final Version
I really thought me and my group did a lot better from before in communication, and in the film in general (especially in the film it was so much better)
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
I think I did much better with the script because this session I actually used rhythm, and
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
That tone is with lighting and not words, and acting.
Being in this class is helping my talking skills because I know in no way I can pass without talking to others. (Just like how I won´t succeed in normal jobs with out communication)
Reactions to the Final Version
The movie me and my team made wasńt that good, we could have tried harder.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
Our editing could have been better the cuts where off
The actors could have spoken up
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
I need to check up on me and my team more to do our work faster, so we can have more time to re-do our work if we wanted to.
