Welcome to My AICE Medias Studies Blog!



    Media Studies is important to knowing what all the elements that are included in different types of media. I always consume media, watching movies, reading books, social media, etc. and using my phone or laptop to access it. These media products are the most accessible to everyone and that why it's so easy to consume media. Before getting into media studies, I never thought about all the elements that were included into media: costumes, characters, sound, lighting, etc. I really only watch it never really inspected it. Before media studies I never thought about the technology around us that helps us consume media: smartphones, laptops, desktops, television, books, magazines, etc. Another thing is how long media is (books, radios, etc.)

   I will be documenting my own film opening. I would like to do a horror/ thriller film opening. This would go for teenagers that like horror/ thriller movies, I chose to do this genre because it's one of my favorites outside of horror. The theme would be teenage murder or something along the lines of this. I would need a few people and phones and editing software. My film would be ready to release in around April when it is due. 

    For me to finish and complete this film as well as blog our steps. My teammates and I would need motivation, hard work, time, and creativity. Motivation would have us working hard to make sure our film is good and what we need to finish this project. But we won't have motivation if we don't have creativity to plan it out. The time is the amount of time we are using to make it, we have a few months, and we just have to use it wisely and not procrastinate.

Introduction to Storyboarding: Camera Angles

Camera Angles      Camera angles is the placement of the camera, that makes the angles how it is. The cinematographer does this to make dimension and dynamic in the film so that it isn't just one flat angle, this allows for emotion to be  conveyed  through the camera. For example, low angle shows dominance and power in the film whereas high angle (the polar opposite) shows submission and weakness.

My Camera Work: Camera Composition

Camera Composition Camera Composition is how the cinematographer choses to arrange certain elements in the frame of photos or films, whether it is a character in the or item. This adds dimension and further improves the media. The leading lines shot enhances what they are leading to. In this example the lines are leading to a dark shadow at the end of the hallway, making this shot mysterious. Deep focus is the focus on one this while something else is blurred. This example blurs the surrounding things and the sky is the main focus.

Creative Critical Reflection

     Through this process, the critical reflection was made to show out progress and understanding of media studies and everything that went along with it. The critical reflection showed my understanding of camera work like shot sizes, camera angles, camera composition, and camera framing, as well as camera movement. It showed my progress of learning mise en scene with colors, lighting, and anything to pertaining the process of the movie.      My critical reflection showed my creative side and the theme of the movie with the colors and the style of it. I wanted to show the process of the creation of my movie plus everything that could happen if it could possibly be released. Throughout the critical reflection I was able to think back on all the things that got me there and the process was great and the education that I got.
