Group Selection

 I was given the chance to choose up to 4 partners for this project. Though it is often highly discouraged by teachers to pick friends as partners. I chose two of my closest friends to help me with this project. Firstly, there is my close friend Michael who always sits next to me throughout the media studies class and was my partner on our first Media Studies project. I choose him because we work well together and he has a similar work ethic to mine. He also believes project tasks should be done expeditiously and works hard to make sure of that. He is very creative which is helpful when it comes to projects such as these. From choosing which angles and camera light we should use, to crafting the storyboard, he grasps all the aspects we need. Next, there is Sabrina. We do not share the same media studies class time but she is wonderful at analyzing and deconstructing film. She may be a little camera shy but overall a great working partner. Her analytical personality helps in nit-picking the videos to perfection. Mix her commentary with Michael's creativity and you have a perfect production team. The song we collectively chose was "Jealously, Jealousy" written and sung by Olivia Rodrigo. This eighteen-year-old artist quickly climbed the charts of the music industry singing passionately about her heartbreak and sadness over a breakup. Many of my peers are in love with her music. This song was an easy choice because of its simple storyline and lyrics, as well as its popularity. Though this isn't one of her fan-favorite songs, it is still a well-written song. The song is relatively short, making it easier to fit into the time constraints of the video. Overall, the ideas my group has already made for this Music video are the reasons why I choose both this song and my groupmates.

The Final Project

Image
  After about a month of filming, re-filming, and editing, the film is finally complete. I am very relieved. Actually, I am even joyous that this film project is finished. I loved the whole process of making an opening sequence. The editing process was difficult and frustrating but I feel I am getting better at it. My favorite part of the project was the initial planning, storyboarding, and actual filming.    During the planning stage, I understood what I had to do and how to complete it.    The creative aspect of these parts of the project seemed to come easy to me, which made it enjoyable. My least favorite was the editing tasks. This was probably because it was new to me and a challenging learning experience. I felt dependent on different Youtube instructions and had to keep watching different videos to learn. The YouTube posts I found on editing skills were definitely helpful and taught me a lot. I love to learn and absorb new skills, I learned a lot these past three projects and I

A Much Needed Break

 After about a month of filming, re-filming, and editing, the project is almost complete. Although this is supposed a follow-up blog on the process my group has been making. We all took our FSA writing this week. I ended up taking mine today, and I am burnt out. In our school, every Thursday of the first week of the month we are provided a Professional Study Day (PSD). In order to maintain my working skills in all seven of my classes. I use days like this to decompress and destress! I made sure all my work had been completed the day before such as Deltamath, previous blogs, etc, so my day could be cleared. After taking my 2 hour FSA writing test, the school day was almost over. I walked to 4th period with my friend and was only in there for about 30 minutes. Once the bell rang I walked with my friend to the car loop. Riding with my mom all the way back home. Once arrived, I decided I was going to watch a movie. Seeing that I am taking a media studies class. It is easy to assume that I
