Re-Intro Blogging

 Hello and good evening bloggers! This is Monica posting currently from home. I am currently an eleventh grader here at Fort Lauderdale High School, and I am 16 years old. I live in Oakland Park, Florida, with my mom, but am originally from Pucallpa, Peru; I have 2 older siblings I am the youngest, a brother who is 30 years old, and a sister who is 26 years old. I am bilingual, meaning I can speak English and Spanish well, but the funny thing is I'm doing better in English and I need to remember some words in Spanish. Some specific things about me are that I am 5'1, I wish I was taller, my hair color is black, and my eye color is dark brown, nothing special. My favorite color is black, specifically black matte, I prefer neutral colors like white, black, and between. I like to wear baggy clothes and Y2K because it makes me more comfortable and gives me confidence. Some of my favorite hobbies are reading fiction books and watching scary movies; some side hobbies are drawing and listening to music. My favorite animal is the horse, I also like red pandas and raccoons. I prefer being outside, with anyone really, friends or family, than being stuck inside by myself. I like having company by my side, whether it be a classmate, a close friend, or a family member, for my biggest fear is actually being alone in this big messed-up world. I have many normal fears like the dark, insects, the ocean, and heights, but they're not gradually bad. I don't really have a favorite subject but if I were to pick one I would say Art, my best subject, the one I'm good at is math; My least favorite subject, which I "don't like", say it adequately, is history. I cant wait to start my new project this quarter! its gonna be fun.

Seventh day: Film Review

Image
February 27 / 2024 For the review, I had my friend Kayla review our progress and take notes on it. Here are her following, exact words: "I absolutely loved the title, Housekeeper, I just feel like it gave a suspenseful vibe like The Beekeeper. It was a type of one-word yet not a one-word title, and it made it very interesting. I also liked the slanted title design. However for the designs, instead of three, I wish it was two because I feel like the two bold choices, to use the simple bold with the more slanted one, and not the one all over the place. I liked the plot, it was pretty good. But you know, this is a high school film, and productions are not too perfect. Besides that, it's a really good film. It used a good amount of conventions. Definitely make sure to redo that opening focal point, to make it more clear that this is where the scene is taking place. Make sure that the audience knows what they are watching." The speaker expresses admiration for the title "...

Title research: "Underwater"

Image
January 12/24 What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? "Underwater" inserts its title following after a small speech. With an eerie soundtrack in the back fading in as the text appears. Then the title fades in, the letters in a crossed pattern. The credits are shown after in a thin font type, with a pure white color making it stand out in black. What images are prioritized in the opening sequences? It provides us with the specific water body and where the movie takes place. Inserting map markings and newspaper publishing about incidents and information about the place. Images of the structure found in it. And the probable sea monster, which is the main reason for the movie. How does the film establish a feeling of a genre from the outset? It helps establish the feeling of the genre, however, it gives off more first as suspense rather than horror. However, as it keeps on going, the information and images provided in the video bring up the feeling that there is s...

Fifth Day: Editing Overview

Image
February 25 / 2024 So far, my group partner and I are quite satisfied with the progress we've made in filming our project. We've been able to come to a consensus on the various shots we need to capture for our opening sequence, which is a relief. However, upon transferring the footage to our computer for editing, I noticed a slight change in lighting that obscured some of the props, making them less visible on camera.  Furthermore, as I reviewed the footage, I observed that our actors weren't always reacting appropriately with their facial expressions to the unfolding events. For example, our antagonist is meant to initially appear as a good character before gradually revealing their evil intentions. However, during the editing process, it became apparent that the villain's malevolent nature was evident from the start, which affected the pacing and reveal of the plot. I had to work closely with the actors to adjust their performances to align with the intended character...
