The Ups and Downs of working alone..

-

     Hey y'all! It's Rowyn, and today I will be focusing on the start of my film + how I chose to film!

    Firstly, as shown from last year I did both my music video and final task with an amazing group with me, Kylie, Mia, and Aidan. We filmed an awesome final task together and we worked very efficiently. However, there are many changes being made this year and I have decided to take the hard-work path and work alone. 

    Yes, I know its a shocker but I really wanted to be independent this year and I thought this was the way to go. I did originally have a group planned but we all had different ideas for this film and we collectively decided that it wasn't going to work out. I would be lying if I said that it wasn't scary to work independently.. I have full responsibility for everything. I'm responsible for all of the filming, editing, research, and on top of all of that, maintaining a balance with all of this and other schoolwork and my job. Last year it was much an easier workload due to having a group. I know what I signed up for and I think I can bloom a great film out of this. 

On the bright side, there are many positives and benefits of working alone. Number one being that I don't have to rely on others for certain parts of assignments. This was a huge struggle for my group last year because some of us weren't all on the same page of having blogs due, editing, etc. I also have more flexibility due to the fact that I have responsibility for all of this. Most blogs are due on specific days but I can do it at any time of day without having my phone being blown up every second about it. 

However, I am excited taking on this journey. It might be a load considering I'm a junior taking other AICE and AP classes while balancing a job. But I can't wait to start!

 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...

  Hey blog! I'm back again.  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 l...
