1. Reflection + Critical Thinking: The strengths of this video are honesty, real, raw, and close to my heart. This video was extremely hard to make and capture, mainly because I wanted everyone to see things how I see them, which I know is close to impossible, but after realizing this, I just wanted to grab those few out there, that see the way I do. The connections and feedback I got from everyone who saw the film were great. Not everyone liked the film and that was good for me, I am use to criticism, I have been getting it my whole life, but it just further made me understand that not everyone will and can get the concept I was going for in this particular movie project. The weaknesses of the film were some shots could have been clearer. Some transitions did not come out the way I wanted them too. But other than that for what resources I had to use, the film came out good. I can honestly say this was my best film I have made thus far.
2. Audience Response: I was shocked that the majority of my classmates understood where I was coming from! It made me feel so much better about my work. Before I went up to show I was ready to get those awkward questions, like "what did you mean when..." and "how come you didn't do..." it was a good feeling. My teacher who always gives her honest opinion, said all good things to me, which totally threw me of guard. She usually waits til the end to lay it on me, but her feedback was good, and I truly appreciated it. The class even understood some things about the film that I thought for sure I would have to explain, but I guess I did a good job of fluidity with my shots. This was a very emotional and personal video to produce but I am glad I finally put it out for others to see!
3. Distribution: I would like to put this movie out for a bigger audience, but I would like to actually make a professional short film with professional resources. This class has further interested me into film making and hopefully I will have the chance to branch off my advertising career to make, write, pitch, or produce feature films. I know its not easy, but it was fun, and it didn't seem like work. I truly enjoyed myself, the people in the class, and the professor. I have recommended this class to my friends, and told them if you want a class to that helps express their inner selves, Art 250 is it. It has been fun. Oh, I have also thought about making this a longer film after the dream scene, but as of now it is what is..."Eyez Don't Lie". Thank you for the opportunity.

Hey, thanks a lot
I like your stuff too, and if we're both advertising majors then we'll probably end up in classes together again, especially since we're both interested in the creative stuff.
