Filming & Editing Blog

This week was hectic. I did not film or even work out ideas for editing. With the SAT being this week, it was hard to balance homework and preparations for the standardized test. However, I did focus on schoolwork more than anything. I made sure to prioritize my homework before my hardcore studying. It was difficult to maintain stability while going through the stress that is the SAT. I am talking about a test that practically judges your value to a higher school. The next step you take to becoming an adult is reliant on a test that you could genuinely just be bad at taking. That scares me. 

Thus, why I did not film. I only planned out the opening sequence by doing the storyboard and drawing out the title design. It was fun being able to let my imaginative and creative mindset take over. However, it was still hard to do that, knowing I had other things that were just as important to worry about. I also did minor searching on editing apps I could use other than the ones recommended in class. I did not have any luck, but it was still progress. I also looked on multiple apps to get any inspiration for my costumes for the film or anything. Using apps like Pinterest, Tumblr, and Instagram, I was able to find a few ideas regarding costumes. Now that the SAT is over, I will finally be able to focus on my homework assignments and AICE Media project without restraints. Hopefully, this goes well. I like to go by a little quote that  helps me on a daily basis: With a little less stress, more can be addressed.

Filming Blog        As mentioned in earlier blogs, filming took place inside my home. Filming took place on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. I knew that since I was the only one in the commercial, it would be simpler to finish. That also came with its disadvantages though. For certain shots, specifically in the 1 st , 2 nd , and 7 th scenes, I needed someone else to hold the camera since I was the subject of the film. However, somehow, I made it work perfectly by sing objects around my house like shelves or chairs with wheels. The main difficulty I had was quiet on set. My dog continuously would bark or squeak his chew toy. I resulted to closing multiple doors to drown out his noises and keep him in one place for the small duration of time. Another mild difficulty I had was lighting. There were times where the brightness would be too high on the camera so it would not be compatible with the lighting of the room, or the lighting was so low that it made the camera quality worse. I had to se

   My name is Bremari Henry. I am a 16-year-old in the eleventh grade. Within the previous years, I have learned a couple things about myself. I am a fast learner, and I also work very well when it comes to group work or communicating with others. I signed up for digital media because I always wanted to explore every aspect of art, whether it was music, dance, drawing (digitally or on paper), or design. Even though I was put into AICE Media, it is still a start into exploring a form of art, which is film. Emotions or intentions can be captured by the directorial choices in a film. I think it would do my imagination some good since I have quite a wide range of it.    This comes into play when I participate in the clubs I attend around school. I happen to be Vice President  of AMIE, a club about unity and normalizing touchy subjects that you would not necessarily want to talk about with your parents or guardians in general.  I also attend FCCLA where we learn skills in hospitality. I do

CCR- Music Video Project

  Creative Critical Reflection How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?  - My product is a music video to "Six Feet Apart" by Alec Benjamin. My product breaks the conventions of a pop music video. Most pop videos have a lot of color in them, representing happiness and cheer. I think this video disbands that idea. People in society start to feel anxious and panicked when everyone nut the is happy. This can severely damage a person physically and mentally. 2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?     -My product would be distributed through YouTube or Instagram IGTV. I would aim it for audiences who can relate. Sometimes, it is hard to be alone. Whether it is you feel worthless or paranoid or even overwhelmed by the silence. My goal is to make all of those people feel seen.   3.       How did your production skills develop throughout this project
