Final Reflection on Film

 So now its finally the time where everything is finished and all the stress is lifted off!

I wanna tell you guys a bit about my thoughts on this whole project and everything that occurred during it. So this project was really a whole puzzle and very confusing at first. For me personally it was alllll over the place, I had a lot of ideas but the one that sold me the most was the final idea about making it a culinary drama. Overall this project for me took a lot of time to make because whenever I work on anything big as a project or any of the sorts I become a bit of a perfectionist. So it took me a while to be able to choose the correct thing to prepare, the set-up and my ideas to make them in place. Due to this it strained my time of recording and it left me with very little time close to the due date to be able to prepare it. With this I finally decided on recording the cooking process of the film at night.

With the help of my sister Amparo and her best friend Natalia who also have worked on this project, I was finally able to put my ideas into place for the project, I asked them to help me and be cinematographers for the film, as I was not able to do it myself due to me having to do all the cutting, prepping, and cooking for the film. Without their help I would have not being able to do this project honestly. They're camera work was perfect and worked perfectly with the ideas I had for the film. I had a lot of issues regarding what specific shots I wanted, but due to watching a lot of videos on cooking, and overall films that relate to cooking I was able to capture some good shots. The only downside of doing a cooking film, is that you only have the opportunity of either one or two shots, due to things such as cutting, mixing, or putting to cook are things that one can only do once so that you don't mess up the recipe or any of the steps towards the dish. But thankfully we were able to capture everything that was needed and didn't mess up too many of the shots.

This project was really fun to do, and a huge learning experience towards both editing and filming. The amount of shots and things I was able to meld together really well. And I really liked the outcome of the film, Im very satisfied with it a lot, I'm very proud of the work I was able to produce. This was a huge learning opportunity for me and I will very well cherish it.
