Genre Decision Blog

 At the end of the day, I feel that because I wanted pitch 1, that I was geared towards a science fiction genre. My film pitch read, "In the near future, a highly skilled drone pilot is sent to a military demilitarized zone on a mission to neutralize forces. During this journey he learns the mindset of the opposition and is stuck between saving his home or doing what he feels is right." I begin to debate with myself over what genre fit this movie idea best. I could not do comedy because a movie that deals with military are not funny. Although this did make sense at first, but I was reminded of a shows called M*A*S*H, which depicts the life of members of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital who take care of the wounded during the Korean War and use humor to escape the terror and depression of the moment.Then I thought why not make this a horror film, in theory this movie does depict military zone and some military movies can get quite terrifying. I begin to look into movies that fit the genre and it would not click. So I had to eliminate horror. I was left with action. This would make a great action film, where the main character is a protagonist and he is fighting to save the world. It was starting to look like this was the genre for my film, so I was getting ready to begin my next part of the blog and looked at a movie on Netflix called 'Outside the wire.' This movie is similar to my idea and it was a successful Science Fiction movie. This meant that I had to researc this genre. After some good research, I got it down for the final project.I think that this is best and I will be succesfull with it. My goal now is to establish a ground for how I will incorparate this genre into my pitch. I can make the movie be of a different time period to fit the convention of science fiction. Since there are drone pilots, I could also add technology that hasnt been seen before.

 JOSEPH, Nervens 11th Grade Good morning, evening or night to whom it may concern- my name is Nervens Joseph and I am 16 year old currently enrolled in the 11th grader at Fort-Lauderdale Florida. I am in the Cambridge Magnet Program, and I also run track for the school. Within the next 18 sentence I intend to further elaborate about myself and the reasons why I am taking this course. To begin with, I am thankful to have an opportunity to grow and learn besides a wonderful group of students and teachers. This is my 2nd year taking As Level Cambridge courses and I am happy that I chose this class. This class in 6 short weeks has taught me detailed terms on Camera shots, Angles, and movements- Mise-en-Scene- and editing. I have been able to identify general terms used to describe shots and have already applied them to my normal everyday life. For instance, I was watching Fast and the Furious and I was able to identify different tilts, and angles such as a high angle in the beginning of th

 As I begin to advance in my filming processes, I discovered that filming is actually fun. I took two days off to film and to edit. so now I am basically done with the film I am relieved. Although my boss was mad, and I risk getting fired but my Cambridge diploma is worth more to me. What I have filmed... I have filmed primarily based on the storyboard. I am extremely proud that I have started filming and I am ready to wrap up the final project. I have faced many many challenges, from getting the proper props, to the financial aspect to my new job and no time. In my class, Media Studies, I have a very bad grade because I have not been blogging on time because I genuinely do not have any time anymore. I wake up at 5 in the morning, go to school until 3, then go to work right after school until 11. So I have 1 hour to film and I am not only exhausted but it's usually too late to be filming.  On my day off, I decided to start filming the first 2 scenes, but it was only seconds long.

Believers Music Video Editing Blog

I began editing my music video on December the 1st. This date was anticipated a lot earlier, however I have procrastinated and left time to catch me. Although I had procrastinated at the end of the day I know I would get the project done on time. I am anticipating to have my project finalized by the end of the week of the 7th. Now what have I discovered, learned, and done differently during this project? During the editing process I came a long way to where I am. I faced lots of issues and I knew I could get them fixed by trouble shooting them. During my editing process A lot of scenes were cut out and/or redone and did not make my final product. I did learn that, that’s ok to make mistakes and get them fixed. I had not yet filmed my flashback scene so I just got that done while I was editing.  Equipment  I used a 2018 IPhone XR for all the filming. ClipChamp was the main software that I used because it was free. IMovie however later I did not transport those cuts to my final product.
