AICE Media Studies Group Blog

     For the music video project, I decided that I will be working with a group. I chose to work with a group rather than working individually because I think it will be easier. Last project, I worked individually and I felt that it would've been easier if I had been working with a group. The people that I am doing the music video project with are Jorge Lopez and Alex Rapanos. I chose to do my project with these people because I feel that we work great together. 

    Also, I went to the same elementary and middle school as my groupmates. Since I've known my groupmates for a while, I feel that it is easier to understand them and easier to work with them. I feel that Alex is a great person to work with because I think he would make a great leader and he is also a hard worker. I feel that Jorge is a great person to work with because he is a hard worker and he does his work when assigned. And I feel that us three together will make a great group when we are making our music video.

    Also, I feel that there are many advantages to working in a group rather than working individually. One of these advantages is planning time since we can assign each other roles for making the music video. And we can also give each other feedback and help each other out if needed. We can also improve our communication skills by working together and helping each other out. Working alone can have a few disadvantages to this project.

    The first disadvantage to working alone is that you have to do everything yourself so it is more work that you have to do. Also I feel that if I work alone, I'm less creative than I am when I'm working in a group. And I find it a lot easier to work with people that I have know for a while. For the music video we will find a song to do that we all agree on. But for now, we're still trying to find a song to do our music video on.

Beginning of Editing

Image
    Today I started to edit my scenes for my commercial. To edit the scenes I used iMovie. Some of my scenes were filmed a few times so I will review and choose the best one. Then after choosing the best scenes, I will start to edit the scenes. I was looking at the length of each of my scenes and estimated how long my commercial will be. Some of the scenes need to be cut and merged with another scene.           I did research on how to edit/cut videos. I researched this so that I  know how to to cut and edit my scenes. Also, I searched up how to use iMovie since it is my first time using it for something. There was lots of information online on how to use iMovie and how to edit in general and the sources were very useful. I started editing my first scene and I tried to cut a second off the scene and merge it with my next scene. This required my editing to be precise because if I made a mistake, I would have to redo it.     I tried a...

Title Design Research: Action

   Title Design Research: Action Detective Pikachu: 1.How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? Lots of titles are shown in the opening sequence of the movie. The usual ones such as Director and assistant director are shown. Since the movie had many different visual effects there was an emphasis on that part of the crew, such as the visual effects director.  2.What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel) They bring about a sense of nostalgia, especially for those who have been pokemon fans for years. They are bright and colorful and appear to be alive.  3.How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is) The exact genre isn’t made too apparent but by watching a pokemon related movie one is to expect some kind of action going in.  4.What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? Well one of the...

Short Film Research: Proximity

  "Proximity" is a short film directed by Ryan Connolly and produced by Triune Films. The film falls into the action genre. Common Sound in the action genre: Sound is a crucial element in any film, and the action genre is no exception. Action films often use fast-paced, intense music and sound effects to match the high-energy action on screen. In "Proximity," the sound design is used to great effect, with the use of suspenseful music and sound effects adding to the tension of the film's action sequences. Common Mis-En-Scene in the action genre: Lighting, Action, Makeup, Performance, and Setting. These elements can all contribute to the overall look and feel of a film and can be used to help define a genre. In the action genre, these elements are often used to create a sense of excitement and intensity. In "Proximity," the costumes and production design are dirt and rugged, adding to the film's wretched aesthetic. The action sequences are well chore...
