Refresher on... Me!

   Hi, I'm still Andres Santana, a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale High. For this blog I'll be yet again introducing the readers to their lovely writer and talking a little about myself before I get into the project based content blogs. Some of my favorite past times are playing Minecraft with friends, listening to music and pretty much anything I can do with a friend. I grew up in a hispanic household, raised by my Argentinian mom and Colombian dad. Because of them I can fluently speak Spanish, and have been able to take Spanish classes for the past 4 years and have been able to refine the grammatical kinks in my speaking.

These weekends are full of weekend tournaments and trips out of town, and it's important to communicate this schedule wi...

New Word: Speaker

Welcome back! For our film props are a very crucial aspect. When deciding how the movie would showcase the mentality of our character we ran through a few ideas. Music was the main choice to set specific themes for our viewers to perceive. Happy upbeat music that shows how the character is feeling in a moment. The way music was going to be utilized wasn’t just for the perception of the shot, it’s also a key part of how we see into our characters mind. The music had to be physically in the environment of the shot. We decided on a speaker that the character interacts with. We had to then tackle the issue of conveying to the audience how the mental state of the character is damaged through this speaker. In my garage I was lucky enough to come across a corded speaker, we realized that the electrical cord was the perfect casual visual queue. When recording the shot the character turns on this upbeat music, he is dancing singing clearly engaging with the music he hears. When the film changes...
