AICE Media Studies

When I first heard about the project from my teacher, it sounded very fun. However, when my teacher told us to begin researching I was a little confused about what, we were given vague details because of Cambridge rules. From this hard stomp in the beginning I knew I would struggle a little on this production. In my first blog 'Research/ Planning’, I gave little details of what I think I would need in a commercial about me, like music, imagery, and possible motivations. It was not very difficult at this point but I still had no idea of what I wanted to include so I mostly surrounded the blog with information on what artist or genre I would use. I included music from alternative indie and some artists like Hozier, Imagine Dragons, and Nirvana. I do enjoy that type of music but when discussing with a friend, I was recommended a classical song. I was interested in a new type of music, especially for studying. The artist in particular that led me into a rabbit hole of other artists i...

This is the end of My production on my video, thank you for tuning in to my chaotic productions. I was so grateful for being able to make a creative blog from my perspective, though it may differ from everyone else's, that is what makes my video unique.

Hello blog, This is my final production. I’ve come a long way from forgetting to record to actually sitting down trimming and editing my clips on Capcut. So today September twenty-second twenty, twenty-three was my last day filming at school. It was so stressful to remember to record, I keep emphasizing this because every day from the start to the end of the week I would forget. Though that was a deepening struggle when I began editing and inserting clips, I noticed my video would be a little longer than I expected. So I made the plan to figuratively show my whole day not really slowed down clips or slightly edited with clips cutting out and panning in with dates and long periods. As with more upcoming days, they would be shorter or less detailed. It's still the same cycle and I hope viewers can understand that. From writing and creating this process, it's been a little difficult for me to put my artistic ideas in words but envisioning it has been helping me greatly. So pleas...

Hello, blog hope you all enjoyed your day and are ready to read my production blog 3. So I did include my struggles of forgetting to film so I've successfully come up with solutions to my problem. At first, I thought about simply just trying to remember to record or set a timer, but I feel like it would disrupt my day and others. My second solution was repeat clips, so for the day I forgot I would just add it in again, I don’t officially know how long I want the timeline to go for but 3 days seems reasonable. However I am worried about it being too noticeable in my video, so I’m not too sure if I should keep it or scrap the idea. What do you think blog? Editing When I officially went through my videos I could not imagine that my video would be more than 3 minutes. However, after looking through my first half week of recording there's a lot I need to scrap. In the process of becoming a professional editor, I've tried speeding up the video and replicating some. Also adde...

In production I plan on doing a view of my own eyes, through this lens, and taking it into a continuous loop, showing my day-by-day. However, it doesn’t change It is supposed to offer you my day isn’t so different from one of a working adult or that of someone who’s a slave to the government income. Then finally in the end it will show you how I break that cycle and take in my happiness with friends and chilling by the beach. However, on my first day of recording, I underestimated the difficulty. I would often forget to record or accidentally end the recording. Holding the camera up to my forehead was also difficult to capture the visual representation through my eyes. In another situation with the camera being held up, many people look at me weirdly, not that I care too much but personally capturing everyone in my video does seem unnecessary and rude. However, I am considering blurring non-consenting parties out. Clips The clips I have produced have been a little testing clips....

  An example of the great scenery I would like to capture within my commercial about me Hello blog, happy Monday. My last blog was definitely eventful and the circus of my research and planning. Today I would like to explain the sequence and steps I want to take to produce my commercial. I’d first like to start with my ideal image of my commercial, I am aware that it is 30 seconds to a minute. So I want something that captures enough to tell a story but not too fast to confuse viewers. So I want to start with a message of, introducing my life or the point of the commercial. The point of the message is to spread my ideals of a steady coming of age or something you would find in a fever dream. For example the color scheme will be something you see in the summer with a humid vibe. I want to control the setting so viewers can feel included in the storyline. So the colors I want to go through are red, blue, and a grayish- white. The natural distinctive colors put together can make a per...

Hozier one of the many alternative indie artists   Hey blog, happy sunday right...I wanted to begin this blog with my imagination and my planning for the upcoming commercial. I can envision this is all about me. Though I don’t find myself all that interested, I've tried asking my friends to imagine a short film I can connect to. My friends have described me as a shortcoming of age film. I'm at the crucial age where I'm setting myself in the real world with a job and planning for the future. Though my life is stressful, I can show the imagery of a 17 year old girl passing through trying to find herself.  MUSIC  When looking into music I searched for a calm and neutral vibes. Since imaging a summer vibe into the working world. I want a genre that can fit the aesthetic like; classical music, cool jazz, alternative indie. Though I've found I'm more attracted to the three options are indie because of the low budget behind most videos, it’s much more budget friendly for a...

     Hello blog, This is our first time meeting but I wanna sign in and introduce myself. I am Janiah Charles, a 17 year old junior at Fort Lauderdale high school. In both the magnet Law and Cambridge program I switched over to school in my sophomore year from Blanche ely. I left my old school because I felt unappreciated and unrecognized. I was also determined to come to this school in pursuit of law and someday be a lawyer.       Though that was my goal sophomore year as I became more comfortable and adjusted to my studies I became aware that I’m not strong in public speaking and would much rather investigate or research criminals, discussing amongst a small group. Though there are many types of lawyers and not all need to be great speakers, another fundamental thing that made me change my future career was my interest in the human mind or Psychology. In the end I hope to go to FIU  with a degree in law or major in criminal psychology.  ...
