AICE Media Studies--Production blog

 Hello Emeralds, I am back with the latest update on my music video. To inform new viewers, I am tasked to make a music video. I am using this assignment to test my media terms and understanding of it. So far, I have filmed two scenes. One perfect scene was the shot of me waking up. The other scene is my setting at the mall. I have extra footage that was scrapped over the fair quality. I only intend on showing high quality production to my viewers. As of now, I am filming scene three, but only with me in the view. My group has their own group shot with me excluded to display a message in our video. For my solo scene that is being filmed again, I exchanged ice cream for restaurant food. I did this for the purpose of having props that do not actively melt while shooting. It also benefited the restaurant owner, as I am promoting the food with their permission. In this process, I used my peer's phone which turned out to have a more clearer and more concise lens to capture what I am to

Quality over quantity-Production Blog

 Hey Emeralds, here is an update for my growth in film. My task is to create a music video. I am using the assignment as a way to test my skills on the media terms. The overall goal is to be a director who can easily direct films with the knowledge of how to edit, shoot, and include scenes that appeal to my audience. As I reviewed my takes, I decided to film my first scene again. I felt as if the angle needed more perfection and could use a bit of tweaking. I want to present my music video as something the group would be proud of. I called my peer, and we redid the shot. The shot came out ten times better. I did a preview of my roles, and all  my peers loved it. I scrapped all the old footage and sent it to the group's editor. I went back to the mall, to do the other scenes as well. Considering that I am the main character, I did not need to include the other characters in my scene. However, my peer came along to give support and feedback. This time, I changed the props and setting

AICE Media Studies: Scene choices

 Hello Emeralds, I am back with another update on the music video. As a reminder, I am tasked with making a music video with peers. Although this is an assignment, I am using this as an opportunity to test my media terms. My goal is to demonstrate that I can effectively be a director of any type of media and present it in a neat manner. In this production, I am the main character. Considering that I have already filmed my first scene, my editor gave me the thumbs up to continue with the next scene. In this following scene, I am left with two options. One option concluding me presented at the mall of my group's choice. The other option being me turning on the music as I walk into the mall. I need to show the environment to give my audience clues to what will happen throughout the music video. I decided to film both and will discuss it with the group when I meet with them later when they arrive. During this process, I experienced two problems. I did not like the quality of the camera

      Hello Emeralds, today's blog will be solo today. I will be explaining my own roles in the music video. The music video is intended to be a film, with my own creative approaches that demonstrate all media studies terms. This film is my personal test to see if I have a complete understanding of the terms. I voted on being the main character of our video's theme. The theme will be revealed later on for my special surprise. The main character has the vital role of relaying the message to the audience. To begin, my first job already proposed a challenge. That challenge being filming the shot without the help of my team. I needed to make sure my room is spotless, with brand new bed sheets and comforters to go along with my Mis-En-Scene. My assigned task was to complete a scene of me waking up. Without my peers, I asked my brother who has no experience with filming in angles my group has proposed. It took over ten attempts, but I finally had the shot of a perfect scene as discus

          Hello Emeralds, I am back for a new update on this new project.  For this project, I had the option of working by myself or with a team. Since I am open to challenges and collaborating on ideas with groups of people, I chose a team. For my team, I searched for peers who put quality in their work and have effective communication skills. I would like to introduce my amazon team and the task. The task assigned was a music video. I chose to work with peers who aim to produce the best work. My peers are Natathaly , Stanley, and Benjamin. I picked Natathaly for her creative approaches. Stanley was chosen for his editing techniques. Benjamin was selected for guidance and latest ideas. The group proceeded to agree and greeted each other. It was decided that we must collectively plan and create an outline for the video. Next was the song choice. The song picked is called "Take me out" by Franz Ferdinand. That song tells many stories with lyrics that convey different feeli

Introduction: Music video

  Hello, Emeralds, my commercial is complete. Now I am doing a music video. Here is a introduction of who I am as a person. Hello, my name is Ayannah Alincy. I would describe myself as a caring, gentle, and genuine person. I believe that having these three characteristics will help me succeed in life. Unlike many, I weigh the positive outlook of events first rather than negative. This allows me to better my mood and set the tone for the week. Some of my strengths are time management, the ability to spot critical detail, and most importantly patience. As a human, I have weaknesses too. They are expanding my creativity, being open minded, and challenging myself to accomplish hard tasks. I enjoy the beauty of green. As a toddler, I would observe nature and fall in love with how Leafs of trees were green. This led me to buy many things green from the elegance and vibrance the color gives off. From observing , I can conclude there is nothing I disapprove of more than introducing plas
