Group Blog: Who I am working with

Image
 Last year in AS level, I would usually do my most of my projects alone and without the help of others. All of that changed however when the final task grew upon us and I knew I couldn’t do it on my own, so I worked with three other people. Melvin Amaya, Withly Pierrette, and Naiara Aggiuro. They were a wonderful group to work with and they showed a-lot of teamwork throughout the entire final task, they were also extremely fun to work with because we grew closer as friends. This year will be practically the same except unfortunately Naiara will not be joining us this year so it’ll just be Melvin and Withly. Even so, I know we’ll accomplish great things together even if we are missing a helping hand. Melvin is the talkative one of the group but even so he is very intelligent and comes up with very good ideas. Withly is also very smart and she adds on to ideas that have already been set on the table that we haven’t come up with yet. I believe I can accomplish great things as well wit...

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 g...

Final Changes

This will be the final production blog we make before our grand finale, and technically this is our finishing touches blog. If we remember we've done a film review where I showed some individuals I knew my film so far and they gave their honest opinion and what I could do to change it. Although it received mostly a positive reaction I did get some criticism so I would like to fix some of the issues the audience saw so it wont be a displeasure-able viewing experience for everyone else. The first piece of criticism I got was about the lighting and how It didn't match the environment at all. What I did was adjust all the clips brightness and saturation so all of them would have the same amount of color to it and It doesn't look like it was filmed at different times. I also adjusted the shadows and the colors to fit the eerie vibe that we are aiming for with this film. Another piece of criticism I got was how some clips would unnaturally cut to one another and it had no sort of...

Editing Blog Day Two

Image
  After the whole fiasco of the last editing day, I went back in to see if I could still fix this because I was not ready to give up on the lost project just yet. After about an hour and a half of doing some research and pulling some strings I actually managed to find a backup before everything was lost. But retrieving this backup would prove to be quite difficult because it was a backup for my entire iPad. This meant I had to back all of my stuff up to before this all happened which was a little frustrating but I did transfer most of the important stuff my laptop and phone before I did so I wouldn't be losing any more very important content for school. After I backed up my iPad I looked to my program to see the project back the way it was finally. It wasn't everything that I had finished but it was at least it was enough to just re do the little things and pretend this mistake had never happened. I am truly so glad I figured out a way to fix this major issue because of how lit...
