Final Task- Group Blog

Hello Everyone! Welcome to my group blog of the final task! 

For the past 2 tasks I've taken to route to be collaborative and work in groups however, this task I've taken the route of working solo! One would think that you would want to do the most vigorous task of the course in a group however I wanted to take this task to explore my creativity and challenge myself to produce a film solo! I also trust my new found filmmaking abilities to effectively produce this 2 minute film. I feel as though the past projects and their increasing intensity have helped prepare me to do this project alone. Since this is a film and requires more creativity in production I also wanted to begin exploring my own creativity. In a film, you have to consider the production aspect of the theme, music choice, possible dialogue, the feelings you want to convey. Advertisements and music video still require these aspects to be considered however they are presented in a more straight forward manner. With this project, I also wanted to work together to avoid any conflicts of interest. My past group partners have been wonderful however I found that there will always be certain conflicts of interest within groups of multiple people. Whether these conflicts are resolved or further intensified is dependent on the group however I feel as though I have gotten enough group experience where I can work with myself. Initially, when I began conducting the course tasks, I opted to push myself into more group settings so I could get over any internalized feelings of bossiness. I often worked alone because I had a mindset of only wanting to process and conduct my own ideas so working in groups would mitigate this issue. Only being able to work alone definitely is unprofessional since movie production requires teamwork and collaboration and getting used to a shared environment helps to build work ethic. Through group work I definitely did learn to share more and listen to others' creative contributions to reach a compromise. I also learned to ask for help and asking for help doesn't equate to insufficiency. Through this extensive group work, I feel as though I have gotten enough experience to return to working alone. The film idea I have brainstormed is also one that is very personal to myself and I am confident i can effectively deliver this film.

 Hello everyone, welcome to my second blog post, my Group Blog! For my upcoming project, I am choosing to take the route of working alone. Working in groups is not something that I am opposed to, however I want to take the time to evaluate myself and interpret the material before I branch out into collaborating with others. Through the process of curating my first Media Studies project, I want to take the solitude to truly take in the process of going from and creating my idea, to giving a treatment, to writing up my script and storyboard, to then making said film. I will say I do enjoy having creative freedom in the things I create which drives me to want to work solo. having the ability to use whatever idea that comes to my mind as well as having total control, within project guidelines of course, of what I create and how I go about editing, acting, or producing upon sound enticing to me. I will say that working alone does have its' downsides. When working alone you don't get

Another Hiccup

 Hi everyone! Welcome to my twelfth production blog. While things were going smoothly. Of course there was another hiccup. The big cheating scene I raved about completing, of course it was incorrect. Of the many errors in the scene I would accept such as noise in the background or people moving too much, I made the worst and most simple mistake. I shot the video vertically. honestly this has made me quite upset. As much fun as this film was, I am honestly so ready to move on from it. I love AICE Media and it’s been a fun two years taking the course but my oh my this film has been very consuming. Since today is Friday, I do have to wait almost a week to continue filming. Due to scheduling the only days designated to film were Tuesdays through Thursdays. Hopefully Elijah, Jasmine, and Laura can all make it. But it’ll all be okay. One thing I am reassuring myself of is that spring break is near so I’ll be able to utilize more than 3 hours 3 days a week to get things moving. Honestly, my b

 Hello everyone, welcome to my Planning Blog! In this blog the general commercial plan will be discussed for my Gatorade Protein Bar commercial partnered with David Brown! The general overview of the commercial is to portray our core athlete, David Brown, who will be a track star consuming the bar before he begins his sprint along the track. The commercial begins by a wide shot zooming in capturing David doing some stretches and setting up the track obstacles to prepare for his sprint. The next scene will cue to David eating the bar while looking victorious in the face getting ready to run the track. David then sets the bar down on a table and moves away. After this another wide shot scene will play out with David in his starting stance preparing to dash the track. The scene will continue with David dashing the track, and then the shot will zoom back on the bar with the Gatorade logo appearing in the screen. going For our costume, David's track uniform will be used along with his r
