#8- Fleabag (2016)

   

  Yes, a second blog post about a TV show! There was no way I wasn't going to write about Fleabag when doing a Drama Comedy!!! Fleabag is my favorite show, I'm a huge fan of Phoebe Waller-Bridge! She is an amazing write and actor. Now that I'm done fan-girling, let me explain why it is so important for me to do my research and watch media with my genres and themes. I'm trying to make the perfect narrative, and by consuming media I will be inspired and do just what I'm trying to achieve. 

  Fleabag is amazing example of handling serious topics and having perfectly timed comedy. I was sobbing at one scene and laughing at the next (the first time I watched it, and the million times after). I enjoy how the character, Fleabag, breaks the fourth wall throughout the entire show. I'm going to use that aspect in my final project. Their is a specific shot that I want to create where I want my character to make eye contact with the camera, in which she would be breaking the fourth wall. In this shot I want to try to execute a reverse zoom. 

  


  My final project won't have any serious events, because it is only the beginning two minutes. So my goal is to introduce the characters of my narrative. However, I still plan on adding comedy aspects. With the reverse zoom it'll show my audience that my character is dramatic, this will add a humorous tone because this type of shot is usually used in thriller for a uneasy feeling. The dialogue will also carry the comedy, which I will further discuss in a late blog post.

  Overall, I love this show because it follows a funny and relatable woman protagonist. It has not only inspired my final project, but Phoebe Waller-Bridge has motivated me to be more creative and write more.

#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. ...
