Starting The Final Task

Hello again, my name is Nyaira.  Over the course of the past six months that I have been taking AICE Media Studies, I have come across a lot of new information and have changed drastically. Since turning 18 and getting a second job, I have learned how to prioritize my time more.  After being promoted to a supervisor at my first job I have felt the need to in a sense step up as a leader.  I have been really focusing on better myself for when I leave to go off to the services.  Being organized and managing my time now, is a step in the right directions.   This is going to help me in all aspects.

Typically on projects and assignments, I would partner with Katie.  This time however, Katie and I have chosen to partner up with another team of two: Anjun and Preace. Combined our group name is KNAP.

In my previous projects with Katie, I have worked on my angles, and movements with the camera.  I am really excited to learn more about editing and the other angles we may possibly use in this upcoming film task.  In the beginning Katie and I struggled the most with the movements from shot to shot.  For whatever reason the shots were not flowing into each other.  As for the lighting, we struggled with knowing the timing of outside as well; as how it would project on the camera itself.  In our second film we made dramatic changes with editing and do believe that it came out much better than the first one.  We played around with the visual content to really get our point across in our film.  I would say this could be the best film we have produced.  Putting four creative brains together to formulate a film using a variety of tricks we have learned individually and as a whole.

The four of us took time out to think out some unique pitches that may grasp any audiences attention.  A pitch is a Hollywood term to describe an idea where a film is encapsulated in 25 words or less.  Usually with one sentence.

The three pitches we came up with were:

1. Hit(Wo)man- Vengeful lady tries to prevent a friend from falling into the arms of the wrong guy, by going to the extremes.
2. Radioactive 235- Post nuclear disaster interview that reveals a deeper tragedy in the eyes of a hardworking man working towards freedom. (production value will be bad)
3. Isn’t it ironic- Two people meet and get off to a rough start until they keep ironically meeting and realize they were soulmates the entire time.
