I truly enjoyed the creative aspects of this class. Making the movie at the end was especially fun as a feel like it was a great way to put some time into a project at the end with out making it some sort of stressful and over the top event. I liked working in groups, especially because they weren't picked for us. I came in knowing absolutely no one in the class and came out knowing some great new people who I feel like I will collaborate with in the future, they may even make great contacts for the future in the media industries!
I'd like to wish all the best to my fellow classmates as well as our Professors!
Let's face it, it often takes a long time to get from place to place at Hunter College and in New York City in general. New York city is highly populated and thus so his Hunter College. All of this traffic and congestion can put one in a jam, to borrow from our earlier unedited "traffic poem" video. (you can watch that here) . We wanted to expand on this idea and create a film in which a young girl, who just happens to be named "Jam" is just fed up with all of the traffic. Nothing about her day seems to go smoothly, and as she is about to find out no one really cares! We used voice over to convey our characters frustration and our music and camera angles were meant to give more depth to each situation. Not even her traffic counselor, who has been employed by Hunter College to help students cope with such Jam Packed situations!
