Introduction Blog

  Hello, I am Jennifer De Paz Rivas . I am a Junior at Fort Lauderdale Highschool. I am currently 16 and i’m about to turn 17 within the following week. I was born here in Florida but my parents are from El Salvador, most of my family members were born there too and have recently moved to the U.S including my two older brothers. I have a cat named Don Gato who was originally a stray but we took him in as a part of our family, he is a really sweet and loving cat and I love having him around for comfort. In my free time, I usually enjoy playing rhythm games or playing random games my brother recommends to me from time to time. I also like napping through most of my days it's a good way to clear my head and to get productive with things after I've awoken. For hobbies, I enjoy editing and drawing, I've always liked drawing since I was really young and I got the inspiration for editing from people on youtube who made cool edits or amvs of random stuff I used to like in the 4th grade. I'm actually very excited about this final task that we are working on. I think it's a really cool concept and it's something that I'm really interested in compared to the other projects we have done in the past. I am completely ready to incorporate all of my skills into this project and show off how much I've improved ever since our very first project which was our Commercial Video from last year. I believe I have improved a good amount ever since and I've actually been diving into film and taking it a little more seriously in my personal life because it interests me and it may be something I want to get into in the future. Now that i’m in A level I hope I go above and beyond for this project which is our five minute short film. I’m very excited for what this new level and year brings me and I hope I do well.

Final Day of Filming for my Music Video

Image
On the second day of filming, I finished filming all of the storyboard panels for my music video. I have to say that it was not an easy task. I had a lot of time to myself, so I decided to use that time to actually finish everything, but it wasn't easy because it felt like a time crunch even though I was free to do whatever I wanted. There were still a lot of scenes to finish from where I had left off, and I had to refilm some of them because the clips were too blurry for the final product. I also recorded scenes that I would edit into the music video to give it more personality and easter eggs, which sort of fits the theme of my music video anyway. It was also difficult to change costumes because I play both characters and edit myself into it. It's a difficult task, but it's not impossible. But what I did was work on all of the scenes for the first subject and then change into costume to fit into the second subject; the only difficult part was that I might have had to swit...

Title Design Research: Scream (1996)

  - What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? The opening sequence has one title card that starts with the name of the movie, starting off from white to red   - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? One image that gets prioritized heavily is the phone of Casey Becker. Another thing that gets prioritized is the house such as the doors, the kitchen, the stove. - What connotations do these images carry? The phone shows a mysterious voice that keeps on dialing her. The stranger continuously asks odd questions that begin to get intimidating. The movie uses the phone as a way to scare the viewer as the ringing continues. The movie also displays many parts of the house to make the viewer believe there is a mysterious danger lurking in a place meant to be safe. - How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? The movie does several things to create a mystery such as by starting a phone call conversation with someone who the viewers hav...

 For my Commerical Project, I will work alone. I think its the best way to go for me because I'm not really trusting of other people because I have no actual clue if they'll do the work or not and in the past I've had lots of issues with people not completing what they're supposed to be doing even with my friends. I can't really rely on others so that's why I'm holding full responsibility for this project. Working alone isn't terrible either, on the bright side I won't have to nudge people into doing their work until they get annoyed with me because I hate being a bother to others as well. Being independent also means this project will be my own unique thoughts without interference. I like working out ideas by myself although critique is necessary I want this project to be my own authentic piece and my own authentic ideas. Having other people's ideas doesn't really make this my own and I may not like what others come up with so I trust myself...
