Milestone 3

Embarking on the journey from Milestone 2 to Milestone 3 in any project signifies a critical phase of advancement towards the ultimate objective. However, this transition is often fraught with challenges, particularly when unforeseen obstacles emerge. This week, our team encountered the daunting task of balancing project work with the demands of multiple quizzes from major subjects, creating a time crunch that threatened our progress. As the deadline for Milestone 3 drew near, the looming pressure of academic commitments cast a shadow over our ability to meet the project deadline. Despite our best efforts, it seemed increasingly likely that we might struggle to submit our work on time.

Fortunately, amidst the academic whirlwind, a ray of hope emerged in the form of our considerate instructor. Recognizing the predicament we faced, our instructor extended the deadline for Milestone 3, offering us a lifeline and the opportunity to regroup. With the newfound breathing space, we delved into the challenges of Milestone 3, grappling with uncertainties and the need to make assumptions to move forward. Despite the hurdles, our team rallied together, leveraging our collective strengths and determination to navigate the complexities of the project. Through collaboration, perseverance, and a shared commitment to excellence, we overcame the obstacles that stood in our way and successfully submitted Milestone 3 on time. This experience served as a poignant reminder of the power of resilience and teamwork in overcoming adversity and achieving our goals, marking the culmination of a week filled with struggles and triumphs.

MILESTONE #3

MILESTONE#3

For my milestone#3, I have done my research and concept creating part and I finished one of my videos. This video is the basis of my concept. I will shoot 3 videos in total. In each video, I will have a different theme. The themes are; death, life, and anxiety. I did the anxiety video but some other images and materials can be added into that video in the future. That will depend on the other two videos. 

I was planning to shoot my video in the forest and it had a script but during coronavirus events and quarantine, I could not shoot that. Instead of shooting in the forest, I used soil ın my video to represent my brain. Also, productivity and fertility. I put a quince in the first shot means birth and beginning with its seeds. After that shot, we see a doll which wrapped with stretch film. It represents my feeling like; cannot able to talk, move or act in a proper way. After that, we see dead bugs, eggs, and butterfly which represent how short life is. Also, it represents the beauty of it. 

The dead bugs part takes place longer than other parts because the death is eternal. The final shot is with a candle, it also represents the mourning. While I was shooting this video it feels so familiar and similar to what I’ve been trough. Anxiety is hard to maintain especially social anxiety. Because no one can live without other people. We need each other. For me it is hard to understand, communicate, and tell about myself to other people. This video is a balance between life and death. I am trying to say that life is too short to have anxiety. It also represents my mental changing process.
