Introduction Blog

Hello, my name is Lucia Rodriguez, and I am a sophomore in high school! I'm excited to share what I've learned in this media studies class with you throughout the year. I'm a big fan of a lot of TV shows and movies, so I'm interested in learning more about what goes on behind the scenes. This class appealed to me since it allowed me to participate in several filmmaking procedures and see the media come to life. I'm hoping to have a better grasp of the work that goes into making these shows. This class allows me to bond with my peers around a shared interest and understand how these industries function. The amount of time and effort spent on developing these many forms of media was something that struck me. With this lesson, I will most likely gain a better understanding of the rigorous and lengthy processes that these sectors must go through. I was overwhelmed by the amount of knowledge I was absorbing all at once when we had to construct a PowerPoint outlining media studies topics. There were numerous elements that I would ordinarily overlook or overlook, such as the various camera angles, soundtracks, and a variety of other things. I had a lot of fun coming up with new examples for each term, and it got me thinking about how beautiful things can be when they're placed together. The beauty of this lesson is that it encourages you to notice and evaluate things in new ways. In all honesty, if I weren't in this class, I would ignore all of these minor details and concentrate solely on the primary point they are attempting to convey. Because you sense a more personal connection with the product when you witness every single step that contributed to the final product, it is rewarding to see every small step that contributed to the final product. I want to be able to create visually beautiful, well-organized, and well-put-together media for my visitors to appreciate. Another factor that I've considered is the creative process that these directors must go through in order to bring their visions to life. I'm not used to writing storyboards or dialogue, but I think it's intriguing that you can see your thoughts. I'm hoping to work with people who encourage me to be creative and allow me to come up with new ideas while I'm working. The most important lesson from this class is my growing respect for media and how it influences my daily life. I am able to stay informed and entertained throughout my day thanks to media, which has aided in the formation of my own beliefs. I'll work hard in each session to be productive and learn something new so that at the end of the year, I'll be able to look at different types of media and have a better grasp of them.

          Hello everyone, I am proud to announce that my commercial is officially complete! This has been such an amazing learning experience and I am so excited to share the final product. This project has helped me enhance a series of skills I did not think I needed to sharpen such as my creativity, flexibility, and communication skills. Throughout the entire process of creating this commercial, I had to adjust to things quickly and work efficiently. At times, all of the work that had to be done felt overwhelming but my team encouraged me and kept me motivated. I am grateful to my amazing group for helping me every step of the way and maintaining clear communication with each other.

I feel that the commercial came out really well because of our attention to detail and perfectionist tendencies. I feel that I can de...

Our Pitch Blog

A girl is one of few to survive the zombie apocalypse. She runs into another non-infected human and they have to get through together. Our first pitch is unique from the commonly chosen ideas. It would help in showing off creativity and originality. While also providing a well-thought-out and evolved finished project. Although the mis-en-scene would be difficult to accomplish for any of the scenes. Zombie make-up and attire would have to research, bought, and learned. Plus the fact that none of us leave in an area that would suit this project whether that be a woods or generally dark area. It emphasizes the idea that this girl is one of the few, which would force us to need backup actors to play the zombies. Not only would we have to find multiple actors for only a few scenes, but we would also have to work around their schedule and pay extra supplies for their make-up and costume. A girl has been living her day-to-day alone, or so she thinks. Our second pitch is about from stalker...

Film Review

 The project is almost finished after a month of filming, re-filming, and editing. We are relieved and thankful that this project is nearly completed. The entire process of creating the video was enjoyable for us. Although some aspects, such as filming, were more challenging. The initial planning, storyboarding, and filming, in our opinion, were the best parts of the entire endeavor. Everyone was allowed to express their innovative thoughts here, and we all knew what to do. The editing process, on the other hand, was not as simple. Unfortunately, only one of our team members was capable of editing and assembling the music video. The rest of us had no choice but to sit and watch what our groupmate were doing. It appears that certain scenes will need to be reshot. It will need to be altered, whether because of the length of the lighting. The transitions in the editing must be examined and re-examined. I'm sure there are other alternatives that would better suit the film's story....
