Introduction Blog

          Hi everyone, my name is Lucia Rodriguez and I am currently a sophomore in high school! I am so excited to finally be doing the final task for this class. This class has been quite the journey but I feel like I have learned so much in such a short amount of time. This class piqued my interest since it gave me the opportunity to engage in numerous filming processes and see the media come to life. I was hoping to have a better understanding of the work involved in producing these events. After doing two projects for this class, I can confidently say that I have actively been involved in the behind the scenes and it is just as cool as I imagined it to be. This class also allowed me to form bonds with my classmates through a common interest while also learning how these industries work. I was able to talk to many people around me and get to know them on a personal level because we had to work together or write the same essay. At times I felt like the work got overwhelming, but it was not something that I couldn't manage. With the help of my new friends, I felt like I became more patient and understanding when I made mistakes or someone else was having trouble and needed help. The final task for this class is to create the opening sequence of an original film that includes the titles and the start of the storyline no longer than 2 minutes. I am excited to be an actor again and I am curious as to what concept my team will come up with. This project seems like the hardest out of the 3 that we had but I am sure that we will excel on this like we did on the others. I kind of hope we are able to change some of the filming techniques we use so that this film is at its best potential. For this time around, we have a new editor so I am kind of anxious to see how that will affect our work. I know that all my team members are responsible so I am not worried about people not doing their part. I want this to be our best work yet because we are more familiar with filming and how things work behind the scenes. We have learned a lot from previous projects so I also think we can do this film efficiently and pace ourselves properly. I will work my hardest and contribute in any way and place that I can. I am looking forward to our end results, and I hope you guys are too!

Commercial Blog

          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. It was really cool to be able to witness the production process up close because it made me aware of small details that appear in the final product. 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....
