Final Film

 Hello everyone,

   Here is the final version of my opening film. Creating this movie has been a lot of fun and educational at the same time.

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.

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.

Preliminary Exercise (Activity 3): Setting

 Setting is such an important concept to know. It’s more than just the time and place a story occurs in. It helps to create the mood, genre, and even influence the characters’ decisions.

Preliminary Exercise: Introduction to Storyboarding: Camera Framing

 Welcome everyone,    During media studies class we have been learning about the importance of camera framing. Camera framing refers to how you place or position subjects and objects in shots. Instead of just pointing the camera at a subject, it's about composing an image. Framing can make an image more pleasing to look at and keep the viewer's attention on the framed objects. There are two types of camera framing: loose framing and tight framing. Loose framing is when all visual elements appear in a frame with great amount of open space and the scene is so spread out that characters have a great freedom of movement. Tight is when there is a little space around a subject or very close to the subject.    For this assignment we had to create a storyboard. We had to include shots from our movie that can be considered as a type of camera framing. For camera framing we included, single shot, two shot, three shot, four shot, crowd shot, point of view shot, over the sh...
