#5- Films Using The Themes in my Final Project

Coming of Age:

Featured is a still from the movie "Now and Then" by Lesli Linka Latter. This movie has always been a favorite of mine, even though it's a lesser known movie. This movie is about a group of four women looking back on the eventful year that was when they were twelve. This movie shows the situations they each were dealing with and how they were discovering who they are in the world. This film also covers the topic of being a young girl in the 70s. This can also leak over to human relationships, because each film can cover different themes. The movie shows these very different girls and their relationships with each other. 


Human Relationships:

Featured is a still from the movie "Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. This movie shows many different human relationships the main character, Charlie, experiences. Throughout the movie Charlie gets a better understanding of relationships, due to his lack of understanding from boundaries created from childhood trauma and complicated family situations. However, meeting Patrick and Sam is perspective and understanding on human relationships change. Throughout the story we see him interact with other characters and how he deals with these relationships, which can be in well mannered ways or awkward teen ways. This builds his narrative throughout the story (character development). 



Teen Experience:
Featured is a still from the movie "10 Things I Hate About You" by Gil Junger. This movie includes human relationships and discovering who you are as a teenager. With scenes between other characters and how teenagers talk to each other and think. This movies shows what it looks like to live as a teenager, including school, friends, boyfriends, studying and many other things.

#30- Creative Critical Reflection Script

   Hello, my name is Lizette Nieves and this is my Creative Critical Reflection, also known as my CCR, for my AICE Media Studies Final Project.    The process of this project was quite something, I had a lot of ups and downs. I had to be re-assessed on AICE Media Studies because I took the class in my freshman year and decided to take A-Level Media Studies this year as a senior. At moments I definitely thought taking this class was a big mistake. I currently have a lot of work for all of my classes and was only given a small time frame to fully complete this project. Right after I'll be going into working on my A-Level project! But, I believe re-doing my AICE Media Studies project right before was a good refresher for when it comes to that project.  (How do my products use or challenge conventions and how do they represent social groups or issues?)   The genre I decided to chose was drama with comedy, usually phrased as a dramedy. The conventions of drama a...

#24- Filming Day Two

Image
September 21, 2023 Location: My House/ My Neighborhood Time: Mid-Late Afternoon   Today I filmed the rest, a majority, of my final project. I had my actors Karah and Reese drive out to the location of filming, which was my house and neighborhood.    Once they both arrived at my house, we began filming. However, we didn't go in the order of my script. Which it will still be able to edit them when I transport them to my computer by file name, even if they are out of order. I will write down the names of the files in the order I want them to go after each other when I edit.    We began filming the scenes with Karah and my mother (Aurora and her mother). We filmed a pan of Karah walking into the kitchen and grabbing an apple and the conversation between her character and her character's mother. My mother is not the best actress, but we got the shot after putting a note card with her lines in the sink for her. She was able to read off that and execute her role good. ...
