Into Blog for Final Task

 Hi my name is Camille Keith, and I am in 10th grade. I decided to take AICE Media Studies to learn more about filming, and all the work that goes behind it. I hope to learn really good tips on how to film well, and understand the basics of filming. A little background information on me is that I was born in California, and then two years later, I moved to New Orleans. I lived there for four years, and then moved to Florida, and I have been here for around 10 years. I used to play volleyball and soccer, but my main focus is dance. I have been dancing for 10 years, and hope to be doing it for longer. This is another reason that I am interested in AICE Media is because I do have interests in the arts, especially because I to dance, and have been playing piano for 10 years as well. I have my mom, dad, a sister, and a dog, all of which I love very much. I am lucky to have such a kind and caring family, because unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with that. I am a pretty independent person, so I do not need my parents to push me to try my hardest, or to get good grades in school. I feel that doing well in school gives me validation, which motivates me to push myself harder. Some goals that I have in school is to get straight A's, have a good relationship with my class mates and teachers, and also enjoy it. Some goals that I have in AICE media studies is to learn and understand all of the work/mechanic to goes behind filming, and hopefully be good at it. Some of my favorite movies are the Lorax, All the Bright Places, the Hunger Games, Harry Potter, and most Disney Movies. One of my favorite horror movies is The Blair Witch Project. One of the main reasons I liked this movie is because it was filmed to seem as a documentary, but it was not. This made the movie more scary because it seemed like it was real. Hopefully this class will help me make clips like that, or at least understand the work behind it. I am really excited to participate in this class, and I hope it will be fun. I hope to l earn a lot in the class, and maybe even be something that I be interested in to do later in life.

  How do your products represent social groups or issues? Our short film focuses on some of the troubles that highschoolers go through. In this case, the new girl, Macie, attends, once again, another new school. Being “the new kid” is already hard enough, but to make it even harder on Macie, Courtney makes her first couple of days at school even more difficult. Courtney gets jealous that her crush, Jacob, likes Macie more then her. This causes her to send out an embarrassing photo of Macie to the whole school, in hopes to get Jacob to lose interest in Macie. However, this makes Jacob see what kind of a person Courtney truly is. Courtney decides that she must apologize and make up for what she’s done to Macie. The short film captures some of the emotions that many teens and highschoolers often go through. Whether it be anxiety, jealousy, or embarrassment, my short film is able to capture all the feelings that the characters go through. This helps to represent how highschoolers are v...

Production Blog: filming my scene

Image
 Today, I am going to be filming the scenes with only me in them. Julie came over after school to help me film some of the parts. When I got home, I went to go change into my clothes for the scenes. I was wearing a bright pink top with jeans. we started off with me walking through the door of my house. I went outside the door and Julie filmed me walking in. During this scene, it was only me so you I didn't have much dialogue. Julie and I filmed the rest of the shots that I need for the scene by myself. Since I didn't have much dialogue, I had to make sure that my facial expressions where good so that the audience could still have an idea about what was going on in the scene. Filming these scenes weren't too hard. I would say the toughest part of this process was getting the right angle. We also had to figure out how we can make the embarassing photo look like it was found on a website or something similar so it looks realistic. This took a couple ,minutes to figure out, but...
