The One Word Film Project consisted of making a short film that represents a word, challenging us in the process to utilize camera shots/ angles and various editing techniques that help convey the story. We were put into groups of 2 people, brainstorming ways to explain the word to an audience, developing a story that could actually happen within 60-90 seconds of real time while everything is filmed in a school setting.
My approach to complete this project was careful planning as well as exploring and utilizing my resources. While brainstorming and forming an idea, my partner and I created a brainstorming sheet/ storyboard to help pre-visualize our project.

I think that we did a good job showing the different types of shots and techniques used to create an idea into an actual short film. Using close ups for deep emotional impacts like for the characters facial expressions, urgency or hesitation. Utilizing medium shots, displaying the interaction between the characters, detailing every shot with a different tone throughout the story line. Yet I think that we can work on the interpretation for the word more (Regret), I think that towards the end when I am on the screen looking back to see if Jade (the student who fell down) was still there so I could help her but I realized it was to late, maybe I should have hesitated more or ran down to try and help, also keeping up with the continuity of the shots. While realizing our mistakes I think that we can learn from what we did wrong and improve our project to be even better than before by using different and various skill sets like composition and different shot angles.
