#9- Perk Of Being a Wallflower (2012)


   I first watched this film a few years ago, and know watching it again I would defiantly recommend it to any teenager. The movie explores themes of relationships and self-discovery. These two themes are very prominent and important when creating a coming-of-age drama. These themes and how characters react and interact makes the film relatable to young audiences. 

  The story follows Charlie, who is a socially awkward teenager who has had a sad childhood, on his new adventure that is high school. He is dealing with personal issues and the relationships in his life as well as the new ones he's introduced to. He meets Sam and Patrick who are outgoing people, completely different than Charlie. He begins to navigate relationships with them, and they soon begin to change Charlie and help him on his self-discovery journey. The whole point of coming-of-age and growing up is changing a becoming more yourself. 

  The film captures the highs and lows of growing up, the actors of all the characters give a perfect performance that portrays adolescence and all that comes with it. 

  The film has helped me write my script and how I should have my characters interact with each other. The teen conversations I want to add in my script are about school, the upcoming football game, boys and maybe have the main character discuss her mom. Perks of Being a Wallflower doesn't have a prominent humorous tone to the film, but I will be able to add humor in my film through dialogue and camera movements.

#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. ...
