blog question: What are employability skills? Give three examples of what you feel are effective employability skills that you think could help you get a good job. Why are they important?
Employability skills, are skills that you would need to get a decent job. Some skills that are the most needed/wanted include professionalism, good socializing skills, and reliability. Professionalism is pretty much required for any good paying job now and days. This skill set is just showing that you are up to doing anything that is asked from you, of course only work related, and other basics such as: looking presentable at all times, being respectable, and not taking things personally. Good socializing skills may be difficult for some but it's also a needed skill. Especially in the film industry, talking to others is practically required. This also ties with professionalism, since there are times when you can socialize as you would with anyone else you come across in everyday life, but you need to know when to put that aside and talk with a filter. Certainly not the last but another important skill you must have is reliability. Building trust and yourself a good reputation is key in succeeding, no one wants to hire someone who doesn't show up to work on time and lies. All that i've listed so far ties together with professionalism one way or another. Though there are numerous of more skills that some may argue to be even more important I will stick by believing that professionalism is the most important.

blog question: Now that you've completed the set safety and etiquette lecture, why is it so important? What parts of it do you think will be difficult to follow? What parts would you like to learn more about?
After finishing the lecture, I am more aware of things that can go wrong in a filming environment. It's important to know all of the do's and dont's in order to keep your job and even yourself safe. It's also important because it gives you a feel on what to expect when entering the industry. A part I might struggle with following, would be keeping myself safe. Once i have an envision in my head for a scene I know i'll go to whatever lengths to get it done that way, regardless on how it would affect me. I'm also not the best when it comes to confrontation, so if I was given a task that puts me in any danger I most likely wouldn't speak up.

blog question: Write about a situation where you witnessed someone get injured because of unsafe conditions. How did this make you feel? Why did it happen? What could have happened to prevent it.
A situation in which I witnessed someone get injured because of unsafe conditions, would be at home. One day, my mom was making banana bread and of course took the pan out of the oven when it was done. Me knowing it was still very hot and fresh stood clear and waited for it to cool down before even attempting to get near it. However not everyone else had the same intentions. My sister came in the kitchen due to the strong aroma that filled nearly the entire house and didn't hesitate on taking precaution. She immediately went in and tried to cut herself a piece unaware of the pan being hot, before I was able to say anything she burned herself. If she took a little bit of time before to observe the situation and be aware of dangers, this could have been avoided.

blog question: Why is safety on a film set important? What are 3 different dangers that you should identify on set?
Safety on a film set is important because, staying safe is always more important that a scene. some dangers you may incounter include fire, slippery sets, and falling objects. Fires can happen from occurances, such as props or even electrical from hot lights. another danger I had mentioned is slippery sets, you should always take caution as to where you're walking because there can be objects on set or even just spills or a slippery floor that can cause you to fall injuring yourself. It's also important to be caution of falling objects. Though some may not cause more than just a mild headache, heavy objects from high above can you leave you in critical condition or even dead.

blog question, Was the collaborative story fun? What are 3 things that surprised you about yesterday's activity? :
I found the collaborative story to be fun and hectic. The idea of combining everyone's imagination to one story was a bit nerve racking at first, since everyone was working all at once trying to fit their story in with everyone else's. Working on it was just how I imagined it to be, the hectic part was definitly there but the collaborative part took me by surpise in the end. When the story was all put together in the end some of it actually made sense. Sure there was insane parts that turned to be hilarious which only added depth in with the story but for the most part everything made sense. i was also taken by surprise at how creavtive others are. I seen things i wouldn't have even firstly considered writing about but wish i had. But that is what collaboration is for in the end.

teamwork paragraph
blog question teamwork:
Teamwork effects filmmaking in many ways, the major point keys include time, creativity, and the overall outcome. With teamwork, tasks are done a lot faster and more efficient than working on a film project alone. When working alone it's easy to grow tired and rush the work. This also ties in with the overall outcome. When working in a group you and the others in your group can collaborate on what fits who the best, this would greatly impact the overall outcome. Lastly creativity, with a group there is room for more fresh and raw ideas that can either end up horribly wrong or fit better than anyone could possibly imagine. Thus concluding why I believe teamwork is important.
