Starting the Final Task

    Hello, My name is Ciaya Cook. I am an 11th grader who attends Fort Lauderdale High School. For this years final task I have chosen to work with three other classmates. Nishayla Hamilton, Rohanna Wollaston, and Idline Altima. I choose to work with these three girls, because I know that I work well with them. 

    Since we all understand and know how to use the proper etiquette in group work communication we all know how to take criticism and give it back properly as well. I know we can all be patient with one another and create the best work in film. Working with these girls allows me to actually enjoy the film as we create it. Seeing as we would divide the work up into sections and distribute is evenly amongst one another, this method allows us to focus solely on each section with precision. In the end we come together and give our opinions on each section and fix what need to be rewritten as a group allowing us to get things done and still understand what resources we have when we get ready to start filming together.

    When working with these girls I know we all have different visons but working with them allows me to take multiple ideas of my own and bring them together all as one with their help. My hardship when I work alone is trying to pick one topic and stick to it but with them I am able to take all my different ideas along with theirs and make it all one major idea that can create one of the best films in my opinion. I can say this from experience in working with these girls that I truly will enjoy the process of making this film. Seeing as the instructors may not always be available to answer questions in the best form, us working together allows us to bring our ideas into one and break down the problem together creating the best solution to any of our problems. When breaking up things into different sections I know that we all come together before it is time to complete the entire process and we edit, critique, and look at our drafts and final products to receive and give constructive criticism before our rewrites happen as a group in time for submission.

    I know that these become our best resources when it is time to start the film process, because we each have our own envisioning of a specific scene. So with proper communication we can understand what each person is envisioning for the scene they direct and film. We all get the outcome we want with the proper guidance from each other. In the process, I know location and different angles will need to be determined and used properly so while the director at the time works on recording the kind of scene they want and our job is to ensure that the proper angles and lighting are incorporated so that we can all have fun and learn from the process. Working with these girls over all allows less stress on our part while still effectively getting what we need to done.

Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)

       This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background.     It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, ...

Introduction to the Music Video Project

 So today I started my music video project I have officially decided on whether or not I wanted to work with anyone and who I would be working with. I had a hard time since I get nervous working in group especially when I don’t know anyone really. However I managed to find a group. I decided to work with three other girls. Rohanna, Nishayla, and Idline. I knew them since middle school and got lucky when I found out we all had the same class so I was able to successfully see to it that I got a comfortable group to efficiently get the work done.  I choose to actually work in a group rather than by myself because I know me doing it alone would be very overwhelming. I have been struggling lately and falling behind on a lot. So having someone around to keep me motivated and help give me ideas on how to participate daily and move to be productive in my work was an essential part in making sure I progress in this class. US History is a hassle with all the hand written work the teache...

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

               The Short: My first impressions of the 9 short film was a bit confusing and when things slowly began to make sense in the end we were left with a weird cliff hanger and although it didn't make much sense seeing the numbers stitched onto other ghost dolls backs before the screen goes out helps establish that there is more to the story and that the is an explanation to what we were seeing. We couldn't really tell what the plot was in the beginning of the short it was hard to put two and two together but after seeing the  ghost dolls it can an appeal of an post-apocalyptic event that happened with 9 being the only survivor of his kind in the all out war. In the character development you could see that 9 was alert and nervous yet curious to find out whats going on and what he can do to survive. The character built a sense of fight or flight mode during the chaos in the short. We saw that there were lots of special effects i'm ...
