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 there might be a large workload so we can then split the work between each other. For example, Kendia is much better at editing since she has more experience than I do. It is better to work with those who are reliable and who get things done. In our last project we enjoyed the filming process because as we filmed we laughed, joke around but we were still being productive.  I am hoping that Kendia and I could really do well on this and that our final task turns out well. Hope everyone reading this is having a great day. See you all in my next blog

"The Lazy Song" Music Video Cover

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...

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....
