Intro Blog

 And we’re back! This is this first blog for the new year, my intro. Except his time around I am now a junior, and I am in A-level. Not much has changed about me since last year, besides for the fact I am now facing the tribulations of junior year. I still love the same music artists (swiftie for life!) TV shows, and hobbies. This year I made the soccer team, which has been an amazing experience so far. Plus I got job over the summer, which I am still working. Two to three practices/games per week and four days of working has definitely taken a toll on me. The four AP classes I picked when I was feeling overconfident last year are also DEFINITELY not helping. Despite how busy I’ve been, junior year has honestly been just alright, with friends really being the only good part. 

 Taking this class was honestly an easy choice. Last year, media studies was absolutely my favorite class. Despite the C I got (thanks, I guess.) 


Looking foward to it every day, I just lived the work model of the class. How we get a loose guideline for an assignment, then the freedom to work that assignment how we want, when we want. It really took a load off against all the other difficult classes I was taking, and is doing the same this year. Honestly, I was not too proud of the work I turned in last year. I had a bit of a procrastination problem, so most work ended up being quite rushed and never want I wanted it to be. That js why I am excited for this year, because I am determined to do my very best and create all my work to the standard I wanted last year! I also think I am going to like how we are making just one video project, and doing marketing! Marketing was an aspect I wanted to explore last year so the fact it is such a large complement in this years final task makes me excited. Seeing last years examples of short films is making me so excited d to start working, so we’ll see where this all goes!

Storyboarding for MV

This week, I worked on my storyboard for my music video project! When creating this storyboard, I had many different ideas. Some, I couldn't decide on. That's why I have decided this storyboard will be more of a loose guide on how to shoot my video. As I get more ideas when I film, those will be incorporated into the project. This will have to be the case because I am still not even completely sure I want to film the song I originally chose!   Scene 1: As the intro of the song plays, I will be shown opening the blinds. This is a metaphor for letting the world in the lighting will abruptly change as the sun pours into the room. Scene 2: In the second scene, I will be filmed looking in the mirror. The camera won’t be shown as it will be angled from the side. This gives a shot of the mirror without taking away the illusion and immersion of the video. Scene 3: After that, the upcoming scene will show me going outside. As I walk though the door, the camera flips. This represents the

Re-re Shoots

 As you may know from my previous blogs, I have been doing reshoots all throughout this production process. Before I even finished the script, I was eager to take some scenery and time-lapse shots to use in my opening sequence. But now that the final film has been shot, there are many things that need to be tweaked. And then there are some things that need to be completely redone. That is what this step in the process is for! Fixing the angle of my phone on a makeshift tripod was a challenging task. I had to make sure that the camera is level and not tilted to the side. It was also important to check if the camera is positioned at the right height and distance from the subject. Any sudden movement or bump can knock the camera out of alignment, so it was essential to ensure that the camera is secure and stable. Between shots I often accidentally adjust the camera a few units to the side, making the next shot off. Now, I ensured that I was extra careful when handing the phone in any way.
