Reflection is a reversal of reality

      I believe that you are asking about the Inception project, at least I hope so because you were not specific. My performance in the project was mixed I suppose. I still think my role as a cameraman was acceptable but I could not tell which scenes I had filmed and there were some shaky scenes that I may have contributed to. I honestly do not remember anymore. My role as an actor was hindered by how ridiculous I looked wearing flip flops and my bush of hair. I still liked how I was acting because it looked natural. Or at least, more natural than other performances. I remembered my lines, said them naturally and had fun. I could have brought more emotion to the scenes but there is a fine line between acting and overacting. I think I need to improve my body language and my outfits.
            The project it's self was also mixed. There were some good scenes and some bad scenes. Obviously sound quality was never gonna be good but the editing could have been better. I though some of my fellow actors did a good job, like John and Kade, but there were some actors who actively detracted from the scenes because of their unnaturalness and rigidity. There were some scenes that were filmed poorly, like the lobby scene while some scenes flowed nicely. The settings we had were ridiculous and unbelievable, especially the airplane scene. I did not like how the movie was edited, there were some mistakes made during filming that could have been made by smash cutting the scene. The airplane scene is really a prime example of this because if it had been cut sooner then it would not have appeared to be a mistake and it would have worked. I really thought it could have been done better, I do not know why we did not cut before Mr. Banci started yelling at us. Be that as it may, I still thought it was a fun and enjoyable to watch the movie.      
         I thought that the projects direction was not clearly thought out, I think for the genre of film John wanted to make we did not have the resources to do. In low budget film making your script needs to fit what you have and we did not have any of the tools or resources to take on the script of inception. Be that as it may, I thought that the end product was fun if not a little confusing. There was certainly a lot of room for improvement of cinematography and the acting during the scenes but it still was entertaining. Which if you are gonna make a bad movie that no one is gonna watch, it is the best you could hope for. At least it was not boring.
