The Longest Flight

 Our group performed a skit were four characters on a airplane all had problems that conflicted with the other three passengers building up to one epic fail that made the flight attendant give up. Our  project turned out to be very good with a great director and skillful actors that were determined to make a great film with both humor, and capturing the view of what it's like to be on a airplane were things constantly are going wrong. We had an experienced director that knew a lot, and guided us through the process of making our first film. Our group evenly paticipated in the movie and had a lot of fun making the silent movie.

From watching the other group peform I found there plot and setting easily detectable from the great acting shown on stage. There editing skills were unbelievable, and shot many different angles. Also there transition of music played a big part in their overall grade in the movie assignment. They had a funny twist at the end were they found a man dressed as a lady which was hysterical. The other group attacked the project from a different angle than we did which gave the movie project a different identity in both movies which I thought was great.

For my first performance ever I thought I overall did a good job. I am my own worst critic when it comes to anything I'm serous about especially football and now newly acting, and always know I can do better even if I did a good job to begin with. When rewatchimg the film I found my facial expressions were both goofy, funny and on point for the mood of the scene we were filming. I found my faults to be more movement based for example when reaching back to knock the water cup out of the flight attendent's hand was both obvious and delayed. I also had a tendency to slouch on stage while performing. Our group was determined to make a great short film, and I think that is just what we did. Our group was creative and everyone contributed to the making of the film.

What we could of done better as a group was staging and making the scene look more like a airplane. When I showed my mom the filming she got the gist of the film but it was hard for her to detect that we were on a airplane. Also could Have included more props and objects that contained words to give the audience a better idea of what was going on. Learning a few things from the other group, that they did well was move around a lot which made there film have more interesting.

Our group was determined to make a great silent film, and I think we did just that. Most of our actors and actresses had never even been in front of a camera before, and did a great job for being first time actors and actresses. It was a great experience and I really hope that we have more trips to the Blackbox.
