ESSAY #2

My second movie is about Highland Park Senior High School Exchange Student. The whole line of this movie is to introduce all the HPSH exchange students and to get to know all the school's citizen opinion and impression about them , and im glad the movie turned out good and the reaction to the movie are mostly positive.
but it doesnt mean that i dont want to changes or adding some more things to make the movie way better.
There are some critique that i want to say about my movie. First of all , i had lack of story idea, because i found out the theme is so general and its all just about interview, without showing any point of stories that people could follow, and even though its all are interviewed scenes , at least all of them are not talking head. The sounds in some scenes arent sounds clear enough , or i would say sort of buzzing, because i notice some of footages are taken in a crowded place like in cafetaria and achool backyard.
Another thing , the background songs are not stable or get along with the interview, sometimes the songs covered all the interview talk, in the editing process i already try to make it balance and kept re-play it again , but when i already convert it to another media, it turned like that, which i suposse maybe it was the effect of the converting.
the last thing that i notice as my weakness of my movie is less of good transition effect, i kept using the "fade" effect on each scene , and it sorta made the movie flowness seiems static. From all of this , now i learn how to be more specific and careful to make another movie, and pursue my self to getting better and also improve my skills.
