Jennifer Verzuh's Films & More Blog

I was initially pretty excited to work on a project as a group. I thought it would be fun and I’d be able to learn more about filming from others. In the end though, I realized I did not really enjoy being in a group, at least as much as I anticipated I would. It was difficult to find a time that fit with all of our schedules to work on the project. It was also hard to find a scene that we all wanted to do and was plausible for this assignment. Unfortunately, one of our group members dropped out which set us back as well. Once we were all actually on set and filming everything went smoothly though I will say and I thought we all worked well together. It was just the pre- and post-production that was a bit frustrating for me. In the end ultimately I think I prefer going alone simply because then I get to focus on my vision and I don’t have to rely on others. I’d rather it be my own fault if something goes wrong than someone else’s. Although had our group been more organized, I believe the experience would have been much better.

This photo, taken by myself at a metropark near Toledo, is an example of a linear motif. Clear diagonal lines are present throughout the image. This includes the    wooden lines making up the back of the bench, the trees, the flag pole, pillars on the house, the edges of the house, and the gazebo’s pillar. There are also several  horizontal lines as well, making it clear that this particular image can be easily broken down into lines.
