Post-Production: Peer Feedback

Welcome everyone,

During media studies class we had to peer review. We showed our first draft of our movie to another group. We also had to peer review their movie too. I was really glad we got to do this as we received good criticism. We were told that we needed to add more context into our movie and to have a better hook. They told us when adding context to the story, we should add more insight to our main character. So here are the things we are going to change:

When showing the production company logo and title we will add music in the background.
In the beginning of the movie instead of jumping straight to the park scene, we will show Jessica (the main character) and her mom having a conversation. The conversation will consist of a stereotypical teenage conversation by showing her mom being worried about Jessica going out late. Jessica acts like a bratty teenager and will slam the door when she leaves.
In the end instead of having the news report scene we will show Jessica running back to her house. When she gets inside, she will in a panic way explain what happened to her mom.
For our hook we will show the killer slam open the door and show him walking in.

Welcome To My AICE Media Studies Blog!

Welcome Everyone, Today I will be talking about Media Studies. Media studies is important to study because it helps us understand the motives or intentions behind a media product. What I mean by this is that it is easier to find out the meaning of a media text or a post. For example, when I watch a movie just by the first two minutes, I already know who it was intended for and what direction the plot is going at. It also helps me to choose what media platform I use more wisely. Studying media studies taught me what someone's intended effect is for their media product. For example, when scrolling through TikTok or Instagram, you will see a variety of different users. Some just do it for the likes and others do it fun, while some want to spread awareness of a certain topic. My favorite media product are movies. Watching movies keeps me entertained and at the same time helps me to relax. I feel like most teenagers would like to watch movies because it's a way for...

Research: Digital Camerawork Organizer: Camera Framing

Hello everyone, During Media Studies class, I have been learning about the importance of camera framing in camerawork. Camera framing refers to how you place and position subjects and objects in shots. This is more about composing an image rather than pointing the camera at the subject. Camera framing helps to convey the relationship of subjects to other objects. The different types of camera frames are one shot, two shot, three shot, four shot, crowd shot, over the shoulder shot, and insert shot. For the third part of the assignment, we had to create a digital camerawork organizer focusing on camera framing. To create this digital camerawork organizer, we decided to use a word document. I had to include the definition and list two purposes for each camera frame. Then I went with my partner to take pictures of my shots. I then wrote the action line for each shot. I included the tone, genre, and central idea for each shot. Th...

Preliminary Exercise 6: Introduction to Camerawork Warm-Up

Greetings everyone, Lately, I have been learning about camerawork in media studies. Camerawork is the way something is being filmed. This plays into the framing, angles, shots, movements, and composition. In class we were mainly focused on shot sizes and camera angles. Shot size is how much of the setting or subject is displayed within a frame of a shot. Camera angles marks a specific location at which the camera is placed to take the shot. Filmmakers uses this to emphasize specific emotions, ideas, and movement for each scene. We went through the different types of shot sizes. Such as full shot, wide shot, master shot, establishing shot, medium shot, medium full shot, medium close up, close up, and extreme close up. We also learned about the different types of camera angles such as, high angles, low angles, eye level, Dutch, overhead, hip level, knee level, and ground level. We took notes on a video called “Ultimate Guide to Camera Shots: Every Sh...
