AICE Media Studies

  How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text? How did your production skills develop throughout this project? How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project? My product uses the concept of dreams and the state of mind one has to be in. Since dreams are seen as a good and peaceful moment, I made my own twist in it and created a more strange atmosphere to it. I also used a person to represent internal conflict. No matter what you do, your problems will come back and get you, even when your mind is at ease. Once a person realizes and faces their problem, it will send them back into reality, finally aware of their situation. In my project, the ending included a light source, which represents a light of hope or a path for a better future. This represents a majority of people due to everyone’s str...

This is my music video. I hope you enjoy it! It was a lot of fun making this.

Hey pookies, here is my final update relating to my music video. As I recorded and edited this music video, I definitely a sense of accomplishment. From the clean transitions to the different shots I did, I felt proud. Especially since I knew the names of the different angles and shots. It definitely helped me in the long run, being able to know exactly what I wanted to do without searching up anything. Honestly, the way that my teacher made me learn the angles and shots helped me a lot. This is because I need to actually figure it out myself for me to learn things. If my teacher just showed me themself, I would definitely forget it after every class. With that, I ran with it and used it for my music video and the next project I would have to do. Also, it was very fun to record with others, even if I had to do everything myself. Even though all of my friends are in groups, I'm glad I can do it by myself. It would've been hard for me to meet up with them and film. It also wouldn...

 Hey my pookies, here's another update! Firstly, I ran the film over and over to find any errors. However, I could not find anything that needed me to fix or alter in any way. So, I took it as a good sign and asked my sister if I should change some aspects. She also could not find any problems with my editing, so, I will consider that a win in my books. I also tried to get feedback from others, they also said it was cool and that it had the essence of an anime opening. I'm not gonna lie, that's what I was going for, so hearing that made me feel accomplished. Although some may not agree, I will just look at the bright side of things. Honestly, it took way longer than I thought when recording and editing it. It was very difficult to align my schedule to be able to be able to film. Also, on certain days, I would have to pay to be able to enter the park. So, I solely went there on days you could enter for free. Which is on the weekdays, so I had to manage my time with my school...
