FMX 241 Projects

 For my FMX class, we created three projects: an experimental film , a documentary, and a narrative film. All were edited on Premiere Pro.

BETTA: Experimental Film

I created a short film on loneliness and the wanting to make friends but struggling to do so. I showed this through my betta fish because they are recommended to live alone, but I played with the idea that they might not be happy.




Sour Patch Film Documentary

In my sophomore year of high school, a bet was made between my English teacher and a classmate regarding a bag of Sour Patch Kids and Gatorade. It was held until the graduation of my senior year. This wasn't my greatest work because I had little time, so there are editing issues, but I think the topic was interesting to watch.






GO: Narrative Film

In my narrative film, I wanted to tell the story of a person being unable to process grief. Brynn's boyfriend died a month prior to this story in a car crash they were both in, but because of her inability to let him go, she still sees him everywhere and convinced herself that he is still alive with her. She keeps away from other loved ones who want to help her because it's a reminder she needs to come back to reality, but it isn't until her "boyfriend" begs for her to move on that she comes to terms with his death and reaches out for help. Audio is still a struggle for me, but I think I've picked up coloring better since my first film in the class.

Letter to My Future Self

Dear Isabel, Twenty years have passed… how has life been in the film industry? That sounds glamorous to word it like that, but you’ve been at this job for a while now so maybe the shock factor has worn off on everyone you tell your profession/major to. Did you ever go back with Courtney Ware and help her with filming? She was really excited when you visited her the summer before you started college. Have you worked on a Marvel or Disney film set yet? Are the Marvel movies still happening, or did they finally slow down in production? That seems weird to think of right now, but I know it’ll happen eventually. It feels childish to ask, but is this job exactly what you thought it would be? My first thought after coming up with this question was that it would be an obvious “no,” but sometimes people get lucky. Maybe things finally started working out the way you’ve been wanting to. Now that sounds depressing, but hey, it’ll never be ‘sophomore/junior year of high school’ depressing. That pr...

Logos Project

       For this project, we were told to choose five words we thought properly described ourselves. I chose bubbly, kind, patient, cluttered, and adventurous. With each word, I made five sketches to brainstorm before creating a logo for the word. Below are each word with its mood board, sketches, and final logo. Bubbly Kind Patient Cluttered Adventurous (word colorings would change to either white or black depending on background, so I used a night sky gradient to demonstrate the white.)     After creating these logos and their respective mood boards, I decided to choose "bubbly" for the rest of my project. I put the logo on business cards and tested it on 3D objects to make sure it maintained its shape and could be recognizable.     I definitely think I managed to overthink this project, but it was fun to do! My designs definitely were not simple enough to be used as a true logo. I chose the word bubbly because I've always been described as smili...
