• Service Learning Mentor: My service learning mentor was Phillip Miller who is the teachers of the ROP Film/Video Production class.

Interpretive

The most important thing I gained from my experience in my service learning was the whole experience of film production. As we went on to do more films in the class such as adaptations, music videos, PSAs, and Romeo and Juliet adaptation, the pressure grew and Mr. Miller was expecting more from us as time went on. There were also conflicts we had to face during productions that real Hollywood productions would face such as one of the cast and crew members showing up late, not being collaborative, and major delays within productions. After each film I learned something new and it helps me to know on what not to mess up on the next film or in the future when working in the film industry.

Applied

My service learning helped me choose my best answer for my essential question, because the producer on our films held a lot of responsibility, and if that producer is not doing their duties then the production gets delayed and eventually collapses, but it is also the producer's job to assign a responsible and collaborative cast and crew that is determined to get the film done without the producer's presence. For each film the producer had to turn in a production book at the end which documented schedules, records, screenplays, storyboards and other documents that was evidence to the teacher that we did our work filming. The entire outcome of our films all reflected the producer who is in charge of scheduling timing on how long our productions are so fast and weak performances can be seen in the final film meaning it was rushed or less effort was put into it, but a film filled with full effort and quality work can be seen as well if the film gets a good producer.
