Intro Blog





Hello to the lovely people reading this blog, my name is Melissa Meme and I am 16 years old. I currently attend Fort Lauderdale High School and I am in the 11th grade.  My parents came from Haiti and immigrated to Florida in the late '90s. I was born in Miami, Florida making me Haitian American. I speak fluent English and some Haitian Creole. Growing up in a Caribbean household I sometimes enjoy spending time outside with my family. One of my favorite Haitian dishes is Legume (Vegetable Stew), Sous pwa (puree bean sauce), with white rice. My favorite colors are purple and turquoise. Mainly, during the weekends I enjoy riding my bike at a park by the beach. One thing about me is that I am a shy, and kind type of person.  I am the oldest of three kids. I sometimes wish that I was the only child because my brother and sister can be very annoying. Though being the only child may be fun, I still love my siblings and they make my life at home enjoyable. I love being with my family because when I am down they are the people who are there for me and who I can talk to. One thing about me is that I like watching old movies and listening to old music. Out of my many favorite movies, I like: "The Sound Of Music" and my favorite show at the moment is "The 100". In quarantine, I started watching Korean and Chinese dramas and was introduced to anime.  I rarely travel and only traveled between Orlando and Miami. As a result, in the future, I would like to travel outside of the state and country. I like to learn more about other cultures and countries because I want to know more than the everyday stereotypes that I am exposed to. In my free time, I would talk with my best friend, spend time with family, read my bible, or just binge-watch a show. I like helping others and that's why I want to go into the medical field. As a career, I want to work as a pediatrician or family doctor but it might change since there are many other careers. This is the end of this blog. 

So long farewell it's time to say goodbye!!!

"The Lazy Song" Music Video Cover

Image
H ey, Everyone and welcome back to another update on our video. We have finally finished the video and added the last finishing touches. As you all know, for this assignment we were allowed to work with a partner or individually. We chose each other since we were in the same class period and thought it was best to have someone to work with. For our music video project, we chose to do a cover of “The Lazy Song” by Bruno Mars. We choose this song since we can relate to being lazy, procrastinating, or the feeling of just not wanting to do anything. We did have some things in our way, however. Kendia’s mom had changed her mind about letting her come to my house after we had already done our storyboard. With her being at her cousin's house we had to rearrange some of the days that we were going to film. Regardless of that, we were able to meet up and finish the music video. In our research stage, we noticed that many people copied what was done in the original music video. They had eith...

Starting the final task

Hi, my name is Melissa Meme, and welcome😊. These new set of blogs will document my partner and I's journey as we work on this final task. Last time, I worked on a music video before the winter break. In this new project, we are to create an opening scene for a movie. This time I would be introducing myself all over again. I am currently an 11th grader who is attending Fort Lauderdale High School. I am a Haitian American who is somewhat fluent in Haitian Creole. I am plan in the future to work in the medical field. So far I enjoy this class and love that I am learning all about films and the process. I choose to work with my best friend Kendia Banks. We partnered up for all media group projects together last year so it made sense to work with each other again for the final task. We are best friends and I work well with her so it was good to know we can group with those we knew. Seeing this is our final task we can then push each other to get work done. I also choose her because the...

Genre Research: Action

  Earlier this year, I had to create a PowerPoint on a genre of my choice. We were also given the choice to work with a partner for this project. Hence, for this project, I worked with my best friend. I talk to her every day and we are in the same class, so this was the best option. When picking our genre, we chose “action” as this is the type of genre we seem to watch a lot in the past year in movies and shows. When doing our research we watched and looked at trusted websites to acquire knowledge of what methods or materials are used to produce action movies. We researched what lightings are used in action movies. We also researched the angles that are used in action movies. We also researched the camera movements, mise en scenes, and sounds involved/used in action movies. From the information we obtained, some common lighting in the genre of action is low-key lighting and backlighting. Low-key lighting emphasizes dark tones and shadows and creates an ominous and suspenseful mood....
