#22- Filming Day One

 September 19, 2023

Location: My neighborhood

Time: Late afternoon



  Today I filmed my establishing shots. My goal was to get footage of the cows and horses in the fields in the front of my neighborhood. As well as an establishing long-shot of the front of my house. All of this accomplished the goal of creating the setting for my audience. The audience will understand that this action will take place within this neighborhood and in this house. 



  My storyboard included each one of these establishing shots. When it comes to the editing process if I go over two minutes one of the establishing shots of the cows or horse will have to go. Which is sad because I enjoyed the idea of setting up a rural setting for the narrative. So the character can have reason to be stubborn and want more for her life than what it is. Having a rural setting can allow the argument that the character wants to escape this small country town and get out into the world. 

  In my storyboard I had a shot I wanted to do of the street. However, during filming I decided against it. I believe it would be too much to add. I have realized that my film will probably be at least a little different than my original storyboard. So, I'm considering making an official storyboard or writing a blog post about how different it ended up being. 

  In conclusion, the first day of filming was simple and enjoyable. My mother and I went on a golf cart ride around the neighborhood and stopped to film the cows and horses. The cows loved the camera and were posing for me, I got a few cute pictures.

#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. ...
