Intro Blog


 My name is Autumn Alfred and I am a junior in high school. A lot of people usually don't know this about me, but I am a Christian and I am very serious when it comes to my Christianity. I love to spread the Gospel and just tell people all about God and His Son Jesus because They both are just so amazing. I work part-time at Pollo Tropical. I also am apart of band. I am in auxiliary, I specifically am a dancer. In my free time I like to read and write. I like to specifically read my Bible and write notes on what I read or about whatever pops up on my spirit. When I am not writing notes, I like to write random stories. I really love writing and just expressing myself in general. Writing is kind of like an outlet for me. I also really like to do YouTube: record videos, edit, and post them. I am trying to grow my audience on YouTube at the moment. I am currently taking 3 AICE classes: English Language A Level, Media Studies, and US History. There are many reasons behind why I am taking all of my AICE classes and one of the main ones is because of college and to better my future. But, I have many reasons as to why I am specifically taking this class, AICE Media. I want to learn how to edit and record more, like learn new techniques so I can get better at making videos for YouTube. I also want to learn how to make my stories that I write, come to life through the film making process. I just want to honestly learn more and new things to enhance my techniques and skills when it comes to editing, filming, and writing. I honestly feel like this class will be really good for me and I am so grateful I am able to take this class just so I can accomplish a lot of my future goals.

Genre Research Blog: Comedy

Image
The third genre that my group will be researching is comedy.  Lighting used in comedic movies usually are three-point, high key, and low key lighting. The lighting is used to set the mood of the scenes and match the settings as well. For example, if someone is at a party, they will most likely use low key lighting to portray the fact that the characters are at a party. Camera angles most used in comedy films are high angles, low angles, and dutch angles. The low angle is used to make the person appear more dominate over someone or something. High angles are used to do the exact opposite of what low angle does for the actor. High angle makes the actor appear more vulnerable or make it known that there is something or someone higher or above the actor. Dutch angles are used to add an dramatic effect to either a confusing or awkward situation. Camera movements used in comedy films are pan, tilt, handheld, zooms and steadicams. These movements are all used to further emphasize the mood in

Production Blog: Filming

Image
The filming process for this music video was a long one. I decided that I wanted to make changes to the plot of the music video right before I started filming and everything. While filming, I made an accident and followed my storyboard. Then I realized later on that my storyboard was not what I was supposed to be following. I was supposed to follow the changes that I had written down in my "Notes" app on my phone. So once I realized that, I went ahead and made more storage on my filming device. My filming device was just my cell phone. But, I cleared storage by just simply permanently deleting the takes that I didn't need since the plot changed. So while filming, I came across some troubles. Since I was the main character, some times I couldn't make shots the way I wanted to. But, of I had a backup plan. I had to finesse it in one way or another so I had to go ahead and use my backup plan. My backup cameraman was my little sister. Thankfully she was able to help me. I
