Introduction to AICE media studies A level

    This is my first blog post for AICE media studies A level, and I am thrilled to be returning. I also cannot wait to begin the filmmaking process. I believe that I am a motivated and hardworking person that doesn't back down from tasks. My name is Christian Bundalevski and I was born on February 22, 2006, in Florida. I went to Beachside Montessori Village for both middle and elementary school. There, I made some amazing friends and had great memories. I am now enrolled at Fort Lauderdale High School. At the age of 16, I am currently enrolled in my junior year of high school.

    In my free time, I do many things to have the time pass by. Some of the things that I do in my free time is hanging out with my friends, going to the gym, spending time with family and volunteering at places. I go to the gym because there are numerous health benefits to exercising. Something that I plan on doing in the near future is registering myself for the broward humane society so I can get service hours from there. Another reason I wanted to register myself was because I enjoy animals.

    I enjoy traveling because it gives me the chance to discover new cultures and local histories. There are several nations that I have never been to before that I would like to travel to. France, Germany, and the United Kingdom are a few of the nations that I would like to travel to. If I do end up traveling to these nations, I aim to gain some knowledge about them, whether it be about their history or culture. Italy, Spain, and Austria are a few of the countries that I have visited. These locations amazed me because of the fantastic food, fascinating cultures and amazing histories. 

    To wrap things up, this is an introduction blog about me and the purpose of this blog is to inform people about me regarding what I do in my free time and the things that I enjoy doing.

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...
