Why Is Everyone Busy??

-

 Today in class we dedicated our class time to choosing a day to film. Being in high school my group mates and I have many obligations. We used an online calendar to help us plan out the days we were all free. I am not exaggerating when I say this took us the entire class. Natalia just started a new job, so her work schedule is pretty packed. She considered taking days off; however, since she just started working there she wanted to make a good impression. This is highly understandable so she's looking for a day where she's not working. Due to recent events Jenna's mom has given her a curfew. She now has to be home at 5:30pm, not to mention she works weekends past her curfew most times. Luckily her boss is a little more lenient and always her to take days off. Sofia and I are mostly free, except for when we're piled down with school work. Thats easy to work around since we can get the work done ahead of time. After analyzing the calendar we noticed that we had no school the 19th of February, which is President's Day. Thankfully we were all free that day, so we decided that it was the perfect day to film. Since we had our day picked we discussed that props we would need. Sofia is super crafty, she offered to make most of the props. All we needed was a rose, a fake grave, backpacks, beach supplies and more but ideas will come to us the closer we get to our film date. I am super excited to begin filming, this is my favorite part of the class. I am not super creative so this class really allows me to tap into my creative side. I know that my groups film will catch your attention, we are giving 1000% effort. Thank you for reading Cambridge, I can't wait for you to see the film!

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...
