Hello! My name is Taylor, and I hope you're having a nice day. It's been a minute since I've done a blog, and I have to reintroduce myself so here we go. Hi my name is Taylor, and I take media studies (hence the blogs and recordings) and there's a lot going on right now. Not just in the class, but in general. I'm not going to go in detail, but stuff's scary. So, the final project as you may or may not know, is the first 2 minutes of a movie. Filming project equals, well filming. The difference between this project than the others is I'm working with someone. Yes, Crazy I know. His name is Peter, and together we came up with the ideas for the next project. He's pretty nice I guess, we didn't really small talk it was more of lets share ideas.
So far in this class, we've learned a lot. We've learned stuff like how to use the camera and tripod, to the definitions of the important words to use on the final exam. Here are some things I can say off of the top of my head of what we learned. How to import and export footage, I learned how to use the TEA method, I learned the cruel, stressful reality of media class as a whole, I learned a lot of the different sounds, camera angles, shots, movements, editing, and stuff, I learned about the various questions on the written task, and much more. A thing we were supposed to talk about on here was a talent um. A talent I would have having to do with this class is typing I guess? I can spell pretty well, I'd also consider myself pretty grammatically accurate. I'm just not illiterate is what I'm trying to say. I'd say I'm kind of good at filming but the spelling is better, I guess. Am I excited to learn anything else? Sure, I mean, It's school we learn stuff and this class is cool. Wednesday, we learned about pitches. Pitches are a Hollywood term to describe an idea where a film is encapsulated in 25 words or less. Basically a very, very brief explanation of an idea for a film. Wednesday, I was coming up with my pitches because I intended on working alone, when Peter asked if we could work together. We came up with pitches and it was pretty cool.
Okay, pitches. I already typed the definition in the previous paragraph, so I won't bother typing it again. Coming up with pitches was very difficult. Coming up with original ideas in a short amount of time is hard. We came up with with pitches then the rest of the pitches would be in the same are I guess? For example, if I came up with a pitch where there was a stalker or something, then I'd be in the stalker mindset, and all the other pitches would revolve around stalking. We had to come up with 3 pitch ideas. Here they are, 1. A guy can predict or control his future and tries to save someone from dying by using his abilities, 2. A guy (sleeping or coma) can move out of his body and tries to stop his house from being destroyed, and finally, 3. a guy that's currently in a coma, has a dream that he wakes up, to later find out that he's not actually awake. Yes, very creative, I know. Especially the third one, that's a lot to take in. We were also told to insert pictures of us working, so here it is: I'm the person on the right, with the red jacket
That's it, I hope you have a good rest of your day.
