Guess Whose Back!!

     Hello Cambridge, it's me again. Let me re-introduce myself, I'm Carleigh Tripp and I'm almost 17 years old. I'll turn 17 in December on the 21st. I cannot wait for my birthday mainly because its only 4 days away from Christmas. I really liked the course last year, in fact it was one of my favorite classes. Thats the reason why I decided to continue the course and take A-Level Media Studies. I like the aspect that the grade of the class is solely based on a test because I am not the best test-taker. I think that the characteristic of filming a video is a super fun and engaging. I believe that filming the videos took less pressure off me to preform exceptionally on the test, it allowed me to relax and just focus. I think that's what helped me get a decent grade on the test. 

    I'm super excited to continue on with the course, especially because I love my teacher. She is an amazing teacher. She has helped us so ,much with how to format the essays and how to create a great film. She's provided us with good editing apps and she doesn't create stress for the students, she makes the class fun. 

    From last year to this year my interests have change. I still play tennis and not to jinx myself but I'm playing extremely well. I ran Cross Country again and I finally beat my time. On our last race, which was regionals, I ran a 21:47. I was super proud of myself and it was a great way to finish the season. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read my blog. I look forward to starting the filming process and making sure your updated!!

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...
