#18- Casting Process

 I have such an eye for beauty I believe, I mean I am a photographer that dreams of making movies. I see the beauty in looking out my window of my car and seeing all the cows that pass by and think this could be a movie scene where a girl is looking out her window on a long drive home after her first year of college. She is sad that it is over and she is seeing this view with a different perspective than how she was seeing it on her way to college with the feelings of excitement. I also have this memory of when I was in Saint Augustine this past summer. I saw these two young women walking next to each other in the beautiful down town area and couldn't help think about how this would be a cute tracking shot in a movie. That being said, I think I know who I want to star in my final project. 

My friend from school, Karah Little, would be perfect for my main character. She is very pretty and opinionated, I feel like she would resonate with my character I have created and would play her perfectly.

Here's a photo I took of Karah in a recent photo-shoot.


Another friend of mine from school, Reese Gardner, will be perfect for my other character. She is tall and has the edgy look to her, so I believe she would portray Josie very well and the way I want her to look and act. 

Here's a silly photo of Karah and Reese together. I feel like they look so different yet balance each other perfectly. This is why I chose them to both be in my final project. 

For my third character, Aurora's mother, I will use my mother. She agreed to acting in it when I asked her!

#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. ...
