My 5 Strengths

My Top 5 Strengths

Belief 

My first strength was Belief...I think that the reason why I got this as my top strength is because of my faith in Christ and my desire to live according to His word. When working in a team I think that this strength could help me because since I have strong values I can work hard and get my job done as well as help other students with their job if needed. 

Harmony

Having harmony as one of my strengths allows me to help bring others together. This can be an extremely good strength for working in teams because I can help reduce friction between people that may not work as well together.

Connectedness

Connectedness gives me the ability to "build bridges between people and groups" which will show people how they can relate to others, and how they can rely on others. This is good because throughout this journey of creating a short film a lot of people may get frustrated and impatient with people, and I can remind them that we are all working on this together and need support from one another.

Developer 

This quality allows me to be able to see the potential in others. If someone I am working with feels as if they don't have a specific quality that makes them good at their job I can remind them of all the reasons why they ARE good at their job and remind them of how they can continue to grow and improve.

Adaptability

Adaptability means that I am a "live in the moment" kind of person. This can help in a team, because when others are stressed out about the future I can help them stay calm and focused on what is going on that day rather than what may happen tomorrow or a week from then. 

No Film School Blog- Location

Location & Whether Or Not It Matters 

Location. Does it matter? Is having a good filming location reallyyy all that big of a deal? To be honest I hadn't ever really put much thought into whether to not the location where a film takes place is a big deal or not. I came across the article "Casting Locations: Mark Friedberg on the Role Architecture Plays In 'The Ice Storm.' Friedberg chooses locations that add "a new dimension of storytelling and poetry to film." Friedberg notes that most of us aren't going to remember the location where our favorite film was shot at, but if you think about how different a film can be portrayed if it were filmed at a different the location the whole tone of the movie or short film may be completely changed. So, is having a good filming location really a big deal? Yes! Location can add a specific tone to a film and as a location manager I want to make sure that the tone being portrayed by the surroundings of an actor or actress matches with the vision of the director and producer.
