Intro to.... Our Media Group!

     For my media group, I had decided to work in a group of 3: Me, Yazmin, and Lux. Me, Yaz, and Lux have all known each other for years, Yaz especially with this being our 11th year being friends! Me and Yaz have known eachother since preschool, where we had both attended Temple Beth-El, a Jewish preschool. This was rather ironic as Yazmin grew up in a Muslim household, and I in a Christian one. Regardless our parents had gotten along and we ended up attending the same elementary and middle school: Hollywood Academy of Arts and Science. And while me and Yaz have known eachother for so long, we especially had gotten close after yet again ending up in the same High School at Fort Lauderdale. Me and Yaz had both done Debate and do Public Forum together, which I explained in my previous blog to be a two on two debate based on current events. Yazmin and I also do Mock Trial together, where funny enough she is the attorney responsible for preparing my witness! My other partner, Lux, had also attended HAAS where we would meet in my 7th grade year. Me and Lux right off the bat had hit it off, our dynamic was one like no other, we felt like complete polar opposites yet it was because of our differences that we had clicked so well. Lux and I had taught eachother many things about seeing things from another perspective. Lux has become my best friend, and we still to this day have things to teach one another, but it feels as though theres no one who knows them better than I do, and no one who knows me better than them. Funny enough Yazmin and Lux are also good friends, so we all click and complete one another in a certain sense, so i'm excited to see how our trio dynamic will portray in future media projects to come! For a little clarity Yazmin's name is actually spelt "Yasmin", however it's pronounced with the Z so it's become a sort of inside joke between us to spell it with a Z(and even convince others that it's spelt that way!). Lux's legal is actually "Giulia" however they had preferred the name Lux as it had fit the person the truly felt to be more accurately, while encaptivating their love and infatuation with the stars and astrology. I love the name Lux, and I love the slight, yet significant letter change in Yaz's name. It seems as though one way or another Yazmin, Lux and I end up in each others lives, and I'll always be grateful for this fact and wish it remains to be the case for many years to come. I love my friends, and I love that I'm able to work with them on fun media projects like these. And with that I hope all those who read this feel as though they've yet again connect with this Highschooler's life and the people he grew up with.

I'll see you all in the next one:)


Lux, Yaz, and I at the end of our 8th and 9th grade years.

Short film research: (Buried Treasure/Mystery)

Image
    Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!. I am continuing to research short films and their conventions. I am reviewing short films that follow my genre to learn about conventions I would need to use for my short film. As the genre I am using is mystery, I am going to be watching mystery short films. In this blog I am going to research the mystery short film, “Buried Treasure”. I was able to find this short film option on YouTube.       When the film opens, the music is the first thing once again that I notice. This music is different though from the last movie I reviewed. The difference was that this music got louder progressively as the opening of the short film continued. The lighting is the same though. I notice the dark lighting. The dark lighting creates a very deep shadow and puts spotlights on certain aspects. This goes back to the point convention I’ve noticed in mystery films which is having the audience very focused on the little details....

Say hello to my little friends!

 Welcome back! In todays blog I plan to introduce you to the next 3 members you'll hear about till the end of our journey on this project, so lets get into it! For this project I realized that it would be our most ambitious one yet, so I decided to work with 4 people instead of 2 or 3. For those of you who've read my previous blogs, you'll remember Lauren, as she worked with me on my previous project too. Lauren and I worked exceptionally well together, so we decided to keep the ball rolling and tackle this on too. We could not do it alone however, so we added 2 new additions to our team, Franshesca and Isa. Starting with Isa, she's also on the debate team and is good friends with Lauren and I, so given that we all shared the same Media period together and already had good chemistry, she'll be a great pick for our team. Lauren, Isa and I sharing the same AICE Media period will prove quite beneficial as it makes coordinating, scheduling, and planning our project a mu...

New Word: Plan

  And the planning begins! Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! The last time you read I was researching for my short film. My group and I were doing things like comparing short films to its feature film version, looking at conventions of short films in our genre we chose (mystery), and etc. Now that my group and I have done the research it’s finally the time to start planning for our short film. So, in this blog, I wanted to talk to you guys about the ideas our group came up with when it comes to the scheduling, location, backup plans, and etc, for our film! Schedule So, for the schedule of our movie, we want to have it completely done and submitted by March 13th. By, this date we will have all of our marketing, editing, and filming done. So, our group decided to start filming around mid February. By filming in mid February, this will allow our group leniency. For example, if we forget to film a certain aspect of the movie, by having a month left, it will allow us to go back and ...
