 There are many types of movie genres. From action to romance, for this blog I will be talking about mystery. Personally, the genre of mystery is the most interesting. With a movie based on mystery comes a whole plot based around a singular question and answer. Usually, every scene in a movie based on mystery can be a major role in the plot.  An example of a movie based on mystery is The Knowing, starring Nicholas Cage. I find this movie in particular interesting because every detail lead to the conclusion. The movie is based around this series of numbers put into a time capsule where it was later dug up. The student who dug it up had a father who was a professor, the father soon realized the numbers were dates and coordinates of major world events. I won’t spoil the rest, but the details between the events in the summary I just gave you all lead to the conclusion. Mystery is one of those genres a movie can bank on to become a box office hit. The suspense that is created when ...

 For my video I am working by myself. Given that I have no group I have complete control over what I am filming and when. I find this to be a major advantage, this is due to my past experiences with group videos. My last assignment I worked with a group, having to work around everyone's schedule threw everything off track. Being so close to the deadline caused us to rush the final product, therefore doing things incorrectly. You may ask, how will you working alone avoid the issues you faced with your last assignment? First, now I don't have to wait on anyone else for their schedule or their video. Second, I know how I work best, this means that working independently is the most optimal for the final product. I will specifically benefit due to the type of scenes I am doing. For example, the scenes will all take place in locations that I am familiar with and am able to get to.  My initial ideas for my scenes include an overall skit of me playing someone that is paranoid, going t...

  I am working with a group of friends, Lance and Kevin. I am working with Lance because he is a friend of mine from culinary. Since having culinary with him last year, we became really close, at some points we have even hung out after school. Lance and I have bonded over many things, but one of the main bonds we hold is over working out . He has been working out for around 2 years consistently, and 6 months working out with weights. For our music video we are thinking about incorporating our love for working out. Us bonding over working out makes Kevin the perfect third person for our group. Kevin works out quite a lot, he has been working out for about a year and a half. Having the 3 of us being avid weight lifters will massively benefit our video. What will really make the video really interesting is incorporating our different ways of working out. Many people that don't often lift weights don't know the different ways to weight lifting, this can come in the form of higher v...

  Hello, my name is Julian. I am in AICE Media Studies and I go to Fort Lauderdale High School. I am recently unemployed, I worked at Kilwins, the ice cream shop. My last day was actually yesterday, it felt satisfying not having a job after 7 months of being employed. My job before Kilwins was at The Pelican, a resort on the beach. The reason I left was because it started to get into end of the year test time at school, and I chose to focus more on school than work. This decision came after 8 months of working there after school and on the weekends. The reason I worked there for as long as I did is because I had the overall goal of buying a car. Unfortunately the plan for the car was delayed past my date of leaving. Given that the car I was planning on buying didn't work out, my bank account slowly dwindled down. This time around, although no specific car is set, I am planning a better way to manage my money. Aside from work, I am quite active. As of recently I officially joined a ...

This is my music video!

How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? Our product represents motivation and the ability to be determined even when it is hard to do so. This Is important in all of life, to stay determined when it is easier to stay comfortable is what sets the difference between winners and losers. Teaching yourself determination and willpower through working out is such an optimal and effective way for setting yourself apart from the rest of society. The reason there are so few people on the top in life (monetarily, successfully, relationships) is due to the fact most people are too lazy to even get out of bed in the morning. Making this music video about discipline and motivation was due to the hope that it would drive people to become better versions of themselves. Part 1: Look at your research blog. After looking at the conventions ...

 We are finally done with our music video! After about a week of gathering videos and editing, we have our video ready for submission. After the time and energy we spent producing, we couldn't wait to be done before deadline. The relief of being complete with this project is something the group takes pride in. We will all celebrate after school over our accomplishment and completeness of our video. Not only is our music video complete, it was done well and correctly. All of the group mates clips were in the video and successfully edited. Our video consisted of all the shots and scenes we planned it would. Now that we are done, I must complete this last blog. Completing this blog will allow me to post my music video, I will be done. As for my group mattes, they are all done. They are completing other assignments including their CCR and their group names assignment. My plan is for me to finish this, ask the teacher to reopen my group names, and finish the CCR. If I can get all of the...
