Research and Planning Blog

Hello, in this post I will be going over everything I will be doing to prepare  for my AICE media project. For this project I need to make it all about me and my interest. With that in mind I decided to search for my favorite pictures, videos and songs. To start I want to find a base line for the project so I am going to look for pictures of myself. I will go through my google photos account, my social media accounts, and my parents photo albums. I will be looking for pictures and videos that highlighted who I am and interests of mine. So, I am going to try and find pictures of me playing sports and any accomplishments I have. I am going to have four categories for the media of this project. The first part of it will go over school and my accomplishments I have done academically. The next part will be about sports that I have done in my life like hockey, football, and gymnastics. The third part will be centered around the different hobbies and interests I've had in my life, outside of sports. The last part will just be general information about me and anything that was left out of the first 3 categorize. After I've finished looking for pictures I need to find videos for my commercial. This step is very similar to finding photos about myself as pictures and videos are very similar forms of media. The videos I will be looking for will try and highlight and reinforce the information that the pictures provide. For example, if I have a picture of me in a hockey uniform, the next piece of media will be a video of me in a hockey game playing. The final step in preparing for this project is to look for music to play in the background. I want to find two songs that I both like and portray my personality. To look for these songs I'll start by looking through the discography of my favorite bands like Good Kid and The Strokes. I'll also be looking into my favorite albums and specific songs to decide. If at that point I still am having trouble choosing I will just go into my playlist and randomly scroll until I found a song I want to use. Finally, once I have all of my media found I will use capcut to compile it together in a way where it flows together well.

CCR: Podcast

Podcast Script:  Hello, welcome back to my podcast. Today I am discussing the film Cold Case. Cold Case is a new thriller movie about a group of teenagers exploring an abandoned ice rink and not making it out alive. Our first question today is; how does Cold Case engage with audiences.   The foundation of "Cold Case's" engagement lies in its ability to forge a deep, emotional connection with its audience. This connection is c reated through the film's focus on five friends exploring an abandoned ice rink, a premise that is both relatable and builds a potential for tension and horror. By choosing characters that viewers can see reflections of themselves in, the film allows you to put yourself into the situation of the characters . The horror and suspense are n’t just limit ed to the screen; they resonate on a personal level, tapping into the universal fear of the unknown.   Moreover, the found footage style of "Cold Case" serves as a powerful tool for imme...

Production Blog: Beginning to Film

 To begin the full group filming process everyone met up at Dania Pointe as planned. I coordinated schedules and times to accommodate everyone. Over the weekend on Saturday we all showed up at 11:00am. For today I decided to work on the second scene. The second scene consists of a split screen of the varying perspective of one side eating alone and one side eating with friends. So to set up I first had to find 2 separate areas of Dania Pointe to film. I walked around for about an hour scouting out filming locations. The first place I saw was a long strip of fake grass with a lot of tables around. I thought it would be a good place because it had a nice environment and background. The next area I found was shadowed and isolated. I thought that it would be a good idea to have our solo actor film there. I then walked around and found a couple of other spots but ultimately decided on the first two I found. After this I brought in the actors for the group scene. They all went and got ic...
