Welcome Back!!!

 

    Hey guys welcome back!! We are starting off with some updates and fillers on how things have been going and what the plan for this year is. I am so excited to finally be back here!! This year were going to be making a short film I am not sure on what yet but were going to just catch up at the moment. So at the end of last years post the CCR was tough to get through but it did come out great. 
    Unfortunately, the people I worked with last year will not be joining this year's trip. So ill make sure to update later on whether or not it will be a new team this year. I have gotten a job and taken time during our break to just figure out what i plan to do after high school is over and there were some tough choices to make but I knew one thing for sure is that I wanted to continue on with this process in A level. So in the beginning I mentioned how i could swim and that I loved the water in the past I am now a certified lifeguard and plan to see if i can use this skills to my advantage in this years filming process. I have been working to learn and improve my skills in media so hopefully everything goes as planned.
    Bloom the girls club that I am apart of will not be continuing into this new school year unfortunately, everything has been continued online.  Covid-19 has calmed down just enough for us to go back on campus for school so things are different and a little harder but I believe ill be able to manage it. I have found some new editing apps to use for this year!! So I am hoping that ill be able to put them to great use. Past the editing things are going to be a bit more challenging with the new schedule i have going on. 
    I know that on Thursday and Friday's i'll be able to plan and prep everything I need so that I can blog on time for you guys and proceed into the project in a timely manner. Hopefully its not to overwhelming if I decide to do these things on my own. I can definitely tell that this year's work is definitely going to be more independent. Having a taste of what AICE Media is like already, I know that this work can be super fun and enjoyable as long as I keep up and stay focused. Part of this process will be done with the new updates that will be coming more frequently from now on. Well that's all that has happened lately so i'll see you all next time. I'll be back soon!!

Genre Research: Romance & Drama

Romance is defined by intimate relationships. In some cases, there may be a twist but at the end the main point in films is about the pursuit of love. Romance is not only its own genre but can also be seen in other genres such as thriller, Comedy, Drama, etc. Common lighting usually seen in romance includes high key lighting in which makes the seen more cheerful due to the brightness and warm colored lighting to create an inviting and mellow mood. A close up shot is an example of camera angles that are seen in films.  It allows the audience to examine the characters face to see their feelings and emotions. Another common camera angle seen in romance films are over the shoulder shots. It captures the face expressions and body language.

Production Blog: Spring Break is Over

      So we are back from spring break today and everything is in order. Although, we did not film and we did not communicate over the break. I could have predicted that but in that time I did text one group member Nishayla and she was talking to me about an idea she had about changing a scene by the pond I'm not to sure what is was about I don't really remember. However, if any changes are to be made then everything will be adjusted so everything aligns properly. That is if she decides to bring it up to the group.       We decided to do icebreakers have discussed our grades and how our break was before getting to the hard work.  In doing so, we came to agreement that things over the break cleared up and the break gave us time to organize our lives to get everything in order. Fortunately we now have clear schedules allowing us time to film. Unfortunately though in the last minute I did happen to misplace my camera and I eventually will find i...
