Intro (Im Back)

 





    Hello bloggers, I’ve missed you guys deeply and my updates about my life and films, I'm making my great return to the film industry in my A level Aice media class. I learned a lot from AS level but if you don’t fully remember all the growth from my last year films, i’ll reintroduce myself. I am Janiah Charles, a 18 year old senior 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. 


    Though these plans seem far away it's much closer than people think so I’m prepared and have classes of AP psych and comprehensive or basic law. About my family I have two older siblings, an older sister and brother. My sister is described as the success of the family being accepted into FAMU to be a pharmacist. There’s also my mother and stepfather, my biological father sadly passed away when I was very young. Though I have no recollection of him I believe he was a great man and I adore my mother for me and independent single mother majority of my life. 


    Something else interesting to note about me is my astounding power to pick up a new hobby every couple months. Though I won’t pill not force you to listen to all my hobbies, I enjoy painting and drawing, though I don’t think I’m amazing. It is still very intertwining especially if I’m stressed. Though I don’t like cleaning up after myself. Another is crocheting. I've made some ear muffs and tops. With crocheting you have to have patience so sometimes I feel the need to rush because I just want to see the finished product.


To more specifically talk about my creativity in film, in my music video last year and short beginning of a film i became introduced to many themes of films that I am excited to contribute in my new short production and have fun with the overall presentation.

choppy clips -production

Image
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....

Angles and Editing

Image
  Hello blog, so I wanna talk about editing today. When editing clips I personally filmed. I started with changing the rotation. so if it was filmed horizontally by accident I changed it in my simple iPhone editing to vertically. I have not been able to completely watch the video, because my partner has not let me view the edits she’s made officially.   But when I am able to completely watch it. I hope to take out extra unnecessary clips and or clips that may have repetitive angles. Though there is no fundamental storyline, I want the angles, and editing to support the song. The visual appeal I’m following is that of one summer vibe, when looking at a previously filmed Khalid song she often uses filters over them changing lighting. I also want to do that because the time the song was produced aligns with the aesthetic of other music video videos.  Some creative angles I've shot or pitched can be seen throughout. My personal favorite was my and my partner's first film...

Filming cost

Image
 Hello blog, so to greatly recap my filming history. I must include the spending I've succumbed to in this process. Honestly just saying the title of the song out loud is a little ironic seeing as I’ve spent maybe more than a hundred dollars. I could just be acting dramatic but in this blog, I’ll account for the cost of filming.  So the first day of filming was actually the most budget-friendly and my partner got around with her parents' help, it was honestly the best filming day and we were able to go out and eat after. The second day of my filming was my Lyft to Las Olas (now I’ll pause right here, but something to take into account is majority of filming depends on availability and I work and also have other important classes I also partake in, cost and affordability of certain depends in ranges for me in my partner. I do not mean to exaggerate my spending I’m simply explaining how this project has not been cost affordable and I feel like it’s been neglected and should be a...
