INTRO FINAL TASK

 


Hi, I am Isabel D'Onofrio and I am a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. I took AICE Media Studies this year because I want to learn about film and understand what happens behind the scenes. When watching a movie I feel as if people limit their thoughts to only the actors and not what is happening around them. When I watch a movie, I am always curious as to how the crew and actors do certain things or get certain angles. I think about how they do stunts and special affects. I would like to have a deeper understanding on what is going on. I what to understand why the director chose a certain lighting or camera angle. I want to be able to feel and understand the film that I am watch in all aspects. I think that filming is another form of art. I would like to expand my creativity in new ways. Taking AICE Media Studies will help me with that. I am very excited to start this project because I feel like it would help me express my creativity and I am always looking for new ways to do that. I am doing the project by myself. I am doing it alone because I am very shy and I do not really know anyone in AS leveled media. I feel like I would rather do it alone then have to stress about making new friends.  Due to absences I am starting late. I have faced a few big setbacks this year that had a negative impact on me, affecting my schoolwork but I am really trying to get back into the swing of things. I think this project will give me motivation because since I am late, I have a lot of work to do and I am going to make myself push through it. This project will help me with perseverance.

editing but sick

 For the last week I was sick so I was not in school. We have a group chat for our project where my group mates would tell me what was going on so I would not be completely clueless. I was not really on my phone because of how sick I was because I was like passing out and stuff so I was basically bed ridden. When I finally felt a bit better I tried to do some work but then I got sick again. Now I am finally better so I am writing my blog and my group is helping me. We were learning how to edit, all watching youtube videos on how to edit but we did not know how and it was not simple at all. We also tried many different apps and finally found a good one. I am thankful I did this project with a group because I would be clueless on my own. My group helped me so much. I do not know where I would be without them and every person is very smart. Being sick from school makes me feel as if I have been in a coma because I come back and everything has changed. I always miss important things so...

  While planning everything, I realized that my original idea was not realistic. I did not time everything correctly so now I was pressed for time. The original idea of having an action movie did not really appeal to me anymore because of the circumstances. Even though it sounded really fun, it would have taken a lot more work, time, and planning. This meant a new genre, luckily we researched many genres and I had a cool idea. I knew I wanted to have a theme like a decade theme, I just did not know how to make it a story. Sometimes I will have a creative block where I sit there unable to think of anything. When it finally opens up, a ton of ideas run through my head and my mind goes racing a million miles an hour. I thought maybe I could do action still, but just with three characters. Primarily, I wanted it to be a really cool action opening if I were to do one, I did not want to have it to haphazard. I kept thinking and thinking about oh how could I make it have a cool theme wher...

film review

 The film process was very interesting and long. It feels like a weight has been taken off my shoulders.   I had many obstacles to overcome, but always found a solution even if it took a lot of thinking and some help from my friends Jenna and Jade. The whole process of making this final task really caused me to appreciate moviemaking more. It is fun but extremely time consuming and often very stressful, especially as a beginner. I did learn a lot. I learned that no matter how hard it is, you have to persevere and keep trying to find new ways out of tough situations and things like this take hard work and dedication, yet it is worth it in the end. In this project, I perfected my filming and editing skills and also exercised my creativity. I practiced shooting from different angles and trying new things like panning the camera. I learned how to add in music and cut it. I also became more familiar with using imovie just overall. When you have to do it by yourself, a brightside is...
