The Process of Making Media Arts

I believe that the most important part of the process when creating media arts is the story idea/plot. In my opinion, if the story you have is not good - then the media you create for that story will most likely not be good either. In the text, it is mentioned that "stories with powerful themes, expressed properly, are not only more highly regarded but more popular as well" (Truby 108). Essentially, the idea behind the story, and the story itself needs to be powerful in order to draw people in. Other important parts of the process include the performance of the actors/actresses (if they are used) and how the media is created and edited. Personally, I don't really think there is anything I would add or change with the process. My one piece of main advice would be to just make sure you double and triple check your work before you submit it.
What I have done so far to create my final project -
- When I first found out we had to create a final project, I started brainstorming what I wanted to do.
- Then when I had my idea and knew I wanted to create a short film, I started thinking about what I needed to do to make this video come to life.
- I thought about if I wanted to use actors or not, and decided that I wouldn't and would just feature myself in the video - as it is a more personal video.
- Then I thought about how I wanted the video to look, and I now have a good idea about how I want each shot to look.
- Currently, I am thinking about my script and what I want to say in the video.
- After I have written my script, I plan to film out my video and then do a voiceover on it.
- Lastly, when everything is complete, I plan to share the video here for all of you to see.
