Intro Blog - Music Video

Hey blog! I'm back. I'm a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale High School. Attending high school gave me a lot of opportunities as a person. For starters, I play volleyball and I have been playing for over 3 years. Being on the team has brought many people into my life who have been the best people to be around with every day after school. Someday I would also really like to start playing lacrosse which is a new sport I'm trying out! Academic-wise, I'm involved with a ton of business classes. I have taken marketing since freshman year which is what I want to pursue in with my future. One thing that does quite bring me down is math, I've always disliked math even when I do get it. Walking into my math class is one of the lowest parts of my day but I won't let it stop me from bringing me down. I also am involved with a ton of volunteering! Over the summer I attended a church camp where I was a waitress and I made deep connections with my peers and learned a lot about what hard work can achieve. One of my favorite memories of doing that was when we would all get back from our shifts and take the longest naps because of how tired we were. I love helping around the school anytime I can, I joined Key Club a little over a year ago where I can hang out with my friends while helping around the school decorating and making things to donate to places like nursing homes and hospitals. In my free time, I love being in the water; on a sunny hot day, especially in South Florida, there's nothing better than jumping into the ocean. My whole life I grew up near the water so I believe that I would take any chance I can to be at the beach. Speaking of the ocean, one of my favorite animals is whale sharks. One thing on my bucket list is to go out to sea and swim with them, It would be a true blessing if I do, and that's why I work very hard to achieve my goals! I also love photography, I love cherishing moments that will last a lifetime and I have a fear of forgetting them. So that's why I take photos. That's the reason why I am excited about filming the music video!

Creative Critical Reflection - Final Task

1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? Answer: This product utilizes conventions in horror and thriller movies. We used camera angles, music, editing, and dialogue that are commonly used in movies like this. For example, this product has scenes that are close-ups which are used in horror films to show fear in characters or to show what may be happening to change the viewer's focus while watching. In this scene right here we used a close-up to show the killer show that the audience can feel how close the killer was to the main character without her knowing. Almost as a dramatic irony. When the characters don't know what may be going on but the audience does. Overall, the product was truly a thriller because of the amount of suspense it had. Each scene kept building up which is usually what horror/thriller films use. But it does challenge conventions because of costumes. In this scene h...

Music: Choosing Audios

Hey y'all! Last addition to the editing portion of the final task! I was doing research on the music that was going to apply to the Final Task. I used many websites, but deciding to stick with what I knew would be the best, it needed to be found on YouTube. I searched for royalty free music and boy oh boy there were MANY to choose from. However, I was stuck between two sounds. One being a constant beat like a timer and the other having suspense in the sound as time went on. Although it was a tough decision to make between me and my group, my group members and I came agreed to choose the second one. The reasoning behind this choice, was simple. It fit the plot of our film and plot better. The first choice was a little to fast paced, meaning that it wouldn't have fit the video. It was also very loud, so it would be hard to both insert and hear non-diegetic sounds. On the other hand, the second one was quiet, but added that suspenseful aspect that I was looking for in the film. ...
