 Welcome back to my blog! Today Alyssa and I started filming our music video. My grandma picked up me and Alyssa up from school and took us to her house. We used my grandma's house as the back drop for our music video because my parents were at work and it was the easiest to film at. Once we established how we wanted to film we gathered all the props into one room. We decided that the clothes we were going to use had to come from my grandma's closet. There we gathered black jeans, a hat, a cane, and a navy blue button up shirt. While Alyssa was chasing into her manly outfit I prepped the room for our first scene. In that scene there is a pan so I needed to clean the room to make sure it didn't look too messy. We began to film this scene and it took so many tries. According to Alyssa I wasn't doing the pan right so we had to redo it a lot. Once we took the perfect clip, we had to film a scene involving a car. I had to pull my grandma's car out of the garage into the driveway. Alyssa acted out the scene and I filmed using a wide shot. To produce a good wide shot I used the 0.5 option in the camera. For the next scene Alyssa had to knock on the door to hopefully get his future wife approval. for this scene I had to lay on the floor and use 0.5. Now it was time for me to dress up as the dad for the next scene. I changed into the outfit that Alyssa was wearing, put a hat on and grabbed a cane. I then stood in the doorway and looked into the distance, to enhance the fact that I'm a protective and powerful dad. This scene was probably the easiest to film since all I had to do was stand there. For the fifth scene we needed to have my grandma film. This scene was definitely the hardest to film because she didn't really understand how to use a phone. I helped her out by clicking record before we were ready, I plan on trimming the clips later. This scene me and Alyssa stood in a heart shaped cut out to prove our love for each other. For the Sixth scene we used an eye level angle. I stood in the door way again holding a sign that said NO. This was to show that I don't approve of the relationship and the eye level was it get the boys perspective of me yelling at him.

The Vision Short Film

Throughout the Mystery short film, The Vision, there was a boy looking for his friend throughout a fever dream and never ended up finding out if his friend was ok or not. There was common sounds like creepy music playing in the background. The lighting throughout the short film was very dark and eerie. The boys bedroom as well as all the settings that were shown throughout the film were dark and made a viewer feel uncomfortable. A common editing tactic in the mystery genre is foreshadowing which means early in the film, a hint is given as to what is going to happen as the plot. Another common tactic is suspense. Suspense is built through ending scenes with cliffhangers, making a character complicated, intense point of view, and hints as to what is to come throughout the film.  I really enjoy the suspenseful part about mystery genre films. Throughout all mystery films, there is so much suspense built up because you truly want to know what happened and why it is happening. This quest...

Its Me Again

 Hey Cambridge it's me, Carleigh Tripp, again. I am still a student at Fort Lauderdale High School and I am Still 15, however I am turning 16 on December 21st. I joined AICE media studies because I've always found interest in filming and showing my creative side. So far I've had a wonderful time making videos, especially the latest project we completed. The last project was a commercial and the item we choose was the energy drink Celsius. My favorite part of that project was incorporating the angles and editing that we learned in class. I learned a lot on filming and editing, mainly using editing apps and how to create those cool effects through technology. As we progress through the course I would like to film people who aren't part of the class to get more people than me and my partner. I would also like to include my dog since he's energetic yet can take commands well, if I told him to sit and stay he would. His names Ripley, he's 8 years old and is a Parti P...
