Production Blog: The Break

Production was not the slightest bit on my mind. For this past week, I have just been relaxing. Sure, I would have the constant worry of the upcoming worry I had to do. However, I repeatedly had to remind myself that I needed to take a break. After all, I had deserved it. Even if it did not feel like I should have been resting, it was something that was essential. In the process of creation and productivity, it is important to have a healthy mindset and a healthy balance between work and breaks. Therefore, this week for spring break, I did the bare minimum if not nothing. I flushed school from my system then drowned in the fun activities of watching movies, bingeing tv shows, and meditating. It was indeed time well spent. It also did not help that I felt lazy most days anyway. The hours I spent reading romance short stories in bed completely flew by. In the blink of an eye, the break I desperately needed came to an end all too soon. Now, I am once again put in the position of limited sleep, weird eating schedules, and little to no relaxation. 

No, this break was not just filled with me doing nothing in bed. I also was able to welcome my dad home from a month long work trip. It was exciting to hear his stories about the things he had seen and experienced. You see, my days have had a continuous cycle. Wake up, attend class, postpone my hunger then end up eating midday or after the school day, do homework, and finally sleep. To finally have enough freedom to break that unhealthy cycle and have time to adjust was pretty motivational.

Filming Blog

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
