#10- Ladybird (2017)



   This film written and directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Saoirse Ronan is one of my favorite films of all time. This film does a perfect job at balancing serious situations within youth and the humorous parts as well. It discusses high school, friendships, boys, complex mother-daughter relationships, college, and the bittersweetness of leaving home. 

  The film follows the coming-of-age story of Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson and her senior years. She is trying to figure out who she is and what she wants for her life. Greta Gerwig did an amazing job at making a heartful and relatable story about adolescence. 

  I personally love the character Lady Bird so much, she is so relatable to me and other teen girls around the world. I'm currently a senior in high school and I'm navigating what I want my future to look like as well as my relationship between friends and family. The mix of doing research on different adolescence coming-of-age characters and my own experience will help me create relatable characters.

  
  
  I think I've decided that I want to add a scene with my main character and her mother. Where she is leaving her house to walk to school and she is picking what she wants to eat for breakfast. Her mother will make a comment about her choice and she will make a tense response or leave the room upset. I haven't wrote that part of my script yet and if I go over the time limit I will cut this scene from the final project.

#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

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. ...
