How I decided on my group

Welcome!

Today I will be breaking down my experience into choosing my group members to work on the Final Project.

On January 17, 2022 we started picking our group members and solidifying our picks. I knew that going into this project, I didn't want a big group. I wanted to pick people that I knew I could count on. I also wanted to work with people that I knew would be open with me, complete the work in a timely order, and communicate with me.

Taking all of that into consideration, I decided on working with

1. Sara Alexander (Component #1)

2. Jennifer Blandon (Component #2)

I believe that with the three of us, we will be able to rock this project! I think that we all work great together.

Although, it might be more work on our part because we are a smaller group. I think that we can handle it.

So yeah, that was basically my process of choosing. I wanted people who can keep each other on task and not get carried away with their friends.

When coming up with ideas for our opening scene, both of my group members were out because of Covid. I was able to get their contact information and start generating some ideas. But from the start, we have decided on doing a mystery and stuck with it. As for the ideas, we just kept building off from one another ideas.

We will ROCK this project!!

Types of Movies/ Movie Genre

In Media Studies, On September 20,2021 we had been assigned to work on a project. Researching a film genre. I chose to work by myself and chose comedy. I really liked working by myself, I was able to work at my own pace and at my own convenience outside of school. Although, I was absent when, my classmates were presenting. I was able to do my own research and learn about the other different film genres. I learned that the genre "Sci-fi", incorporated science based themes into films. I also learned that "Romantic comedies tell a love story but just in a humorous way. For the project, I had to research what comedy was, the conventions, the social function, as well as the history and analysis of comedy and finally, I had to watch a movie that best represents the genre. I learned a lot from this project. The history of comedy is what fascinated me the most. During this project, I kept changing around the movie I was going to watch and analyze. I also feel like I misunderst...

Stage 1 of my final project

This is the first step towards the completion of my portfolio. To start off, the kind of movie that I'm interested in creating would be an mystery movie. The basic genre convention of my movie would be dark, suspenseful and murder. It's a genre of film that revolves around the solution of the problem or a crime. Other opening sequences of my genre include background knowledge, showing the setting, the characters and what happened all the way up until current. An opening sequence reveals meaning and tone without giving too much away by giving little pieces of what's to come throughout the story, which makes the viewer interested in the storyline. Depending on the genre, not too much action goes on in the opening scene. There might be some action, showing what happened before, leading up until the start of the movie. The settings or locations of other films in my genre are, but are not limited to, forests, homes, buildings, theme parks, etc.. Almost any place that you can go...

Mise-en-Scene

MISE-EN-SCENE Although I was absent, when the majority of lesson was taught on Mise-en-Scene. I knew the meaning. Mise-en-scene means everything you see on screen and everything that is on the screen was there for a purpose. I understood that everything that was put on screen was there to make the viewer feel a certain way, it created a mood for the viewer. Mise-en-Scene also includes the props, lighting, costumes, design, and even make up, that play a huge role in a movies meaning as well as the audiences mood and reaction towards the film. The project on "Photography Mini Project", really helped me understand the elements of Mise-en-Scene a little bit more. This is the photo that I took, Using the elements of Mise-en-Scene: This project was very fun to do. I really enjoyed it. I was able to play around with the lighting of the photo, adjusting the temperature, and exposure. I was also able, to kind of capture like an illusion, that my subject was jumping into t...
