Introducing my group!

 Hello Media Studies Crew, thanks for coming back for yet another blog! For this music video, I will be working with my two close friends in my class, Roselyn Rodriguez and Michelle Martinez. I have had class with Michelle previously, but just had class with Roselyn this year. I chose to work with them because whenever given time in class to collaborate in class their ideas on topics and work impress me. Not only this, but they always turn in their work on time, in a scholarly manner.  It is also always good to be partnered up with someone that you a comfortable with when working together. I feel that this project will help us to get to know each other more and help teach each other. What I mean by this is that not all of us with think the same exact thing about everything, therefore we can share ideas inspiring new thought in each others minds. I know that if we work together this will be an easy and fun process for all of us. There won't be one specific person doing all the work, and their will be equal effort put in. Lastly, I would just like to say that I take my education and grades very seriously and would not risk having people in my group that would out my education in jeopardy. 

We debated for a little about what album we wanted to chose the song from. After narrowing it down, we decided to chose a song from the album "Blonde" by Frank Ocean. This is because to all of us his songs are meaningful because of the tone he states his lyrics and the actual words he says. This was important to all of us, as we knew we had to chose a song with meaning behind it. My group and I started to listen to the songs in the album together. After listening to the songs, we began the process of narrowing them down. This wasn't simple at all, as we love all the songs by this artist. We narrowed it down to ten, then five, then eventually the top two. The two that we got down to were Self-Control and Ivy. Ultimately, we chose the song Ivy by Frank Ocean. This is overall because we felt that we related with this song the most and the lyrics were most meaningful. This is overall because as a group, the song had an emotional meaning behind it connecting with the teenager experience the most. After that we found a clean version and just like that our song was chosen!

Just like that my blog has came to an end once again! Thank you Media Study Crew for tuning in, until next time. Peace out!

Reflection of Commercial

Image
 Hey Media Study Crew, welcome back to the blog of the day. Today I will be reflecting and talking about my commercial and the process. I learned how to use various types of technology in the process of making my commercial. One of these included the features and functions of my phone. Although, I along with many others are constantly on our phones, doesn't mean we know all the features they can do. When I use my phone it is for typical things like calling, texting, watching videos, or looking things up. When making my commercial I learned the more in depth the features my phone was capable of. For example, I found out easier ways to crop videos on my phones and different shortcut features available to me. Along with features on my phone I learned how to use CapCut. Like I have stated in previous blogs, I have used CapCut before. Therefore, I was slightly familiarized with the app, but no completely. Some things I learned on the app were how to flow my audios together, fade videos,...

Production Blog: Change is good!

Hello Media Studies Crew, I am back. Today, my group and I will be going over our previous film. This time, we're considering the prior complaint we received from one of our friends. Although the majority of the feedback was favorable, we are revising CapCut to make it the best it can be. One of her main complaints was the audio. I then (the editor) asked Michelle and me to work together to see if we could make our video sound louder. This led us into a major internet loophole. Michelle searched on TikTok, which has become the new Google. I spent some time looking through YouTube videos for a solution. After what felt like 500 videos, we discovered a solution. On CapCut, they had the option of increasing the media volume, which we did. We also finished evaluating minor matters such as the timing of our videos. We also received additional feedback about a teacher we truly enjoy. This teacher offered us input on how our video's picture compared to others. Our group then reviewed ...

Horror: Research of Genre

Image
Genre - Horror  Common camera angles used in horror videos/movies would be high-angles often used to make characters appear vulnerable, low-angle to make characters look more dominant (often the bad one), Dutch angles are also used to create a sense of imbalance and close-ups are used to show fear on someone’s eyes or show a curvature smile. Common mis-en-scene in horror films are a dark setting in a rural location away from everyone, props often used are weapons such as knives, axes and chainsaws that would create a painful death,   Black, red, grey and brown would all be colours considered for a horror film as they all signify danger and tragedy, m ost people (mainly victims) in horror films look like the are dressed casually but a lot of effort is put into their outfits to show hints of their role and personality in the movie,  t he   weaker characters in the frame are the ones who are opposite the camera on the floor showing how positioning affects how the film i...
