Final Task - Intro Blog

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my Intro Blog for the final task!

- Referencing to my previous introduction, I am a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale High School taking my first year of AICE Media Studies. This course is also known as AS level AICE Media Studies. This introduction represents my final introductory blog of the year as we now begin to craft a 2 minute film. Although I cannot call myself a film professional, the level of growth and experienced as increased immensely from the first project of our commercial. During the creation of that project, I had possessed nearly zero film and production knowledge and/or experience the way I do now. Through repeating the planning, executing, filming, editing, and overall producing aspects of filmmaking, my skills have improved majorly. The gradual increase in the project complexity also helped to develop a better sense of film making. Going from a 30 second commercial to a one-minute-and-fifteen second music video, to now a 2 minute film. When conducting brief overview brainstorming on this project I knew I wanted to aim for a film theme that could effectively and concisely deliver a plot in the 2 minute mark. I knew I wanted to focus on developing a relatable and original plot as well that would carry good detail.

For this task I'm considerably more excited in comparison to the previous tasks. this is solely due to the fact that I feel as though i have more creative freedom on this task. Since it's a film I can have more freedom to create my own creative parameters. I'm also excited due to the extended timestamp! In previous projects I frequently found myself having the issue of over planning eventually making me go over the allotted time. Now that I have a new allotted time of 2 minutes, i still have a brief yet sufficient film time to explore more means of creative production. The music video task definitely served as a major prerequisite to being prepared for this task. With the "Heather" music video, we were tasked with developing a complex plot line to match up with the chosen song. In this task there isn't necessarily a key song to follow but a conveyed theme is what needs to be followed to produce and deliver a good film.

Group Blog

 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

Image
 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, ...

Planning Blog

 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...
