Intro Blog


 Hello, my name is Alexa Delgado. I've currently enrolled at Fort Lauderdale high school. I'm also a sophomore which means I'm currently
16. I've heard a lot about this class and it sounds super fun. I'm a super creative person and I love how hands-on the class is. When I was younger I did a lot of acting. I loved being on stage but I flourished when my teacher let me direct the plays. I've always loved the film industry and I'm a big movie buff. Yet when I got older I lost sight of it all, because essentially being a director was, "Impractical" and "uncertain". All through my life I always would look at places and listen to songs and think this would be a great movie. I take videos and pictures of everything and when I was younger I use to make my own movies. I'm so happy that I can finally have my guilty pleasure of filmmaking as an actual class. I'm very passionate when it comes to my own vision of art. I feel this class is a great fit because while their guidelines I still have the freedom to pursue my own vision. I'd like to think this class is a great opportunity for me to become more aware of the industry and open more doors for me. I'm in the AICE program but personally, that's only a bonus for me. I want to be able to analyze movies more than I already do. I hope this class will somewhat show me if pursuing a film is right for me. Some I've dreamed and craved ever since I was such a little girl. Maybe this class will help me win an academy award for the best director if I do end up pursuing this dream of mine. So I'm very glad to be here and I'm excited to bring my visions to life.

Genre Research: Arrival

Image
  I watched this movie about two years ago and fell in love. The plot, the actors, and the message were beautiful.  Very few films linger in my mind the way Arrival did. But even after several viewings, on each watch, Arrival offers a new interpretation, a fresh point of view, or a renewed perception of events. The movie questions our linear concept of time, this business of starting from the beginning and stopping at the end. But they made us ask, what if time, to suit our intent, could be bent, formed, molded? And she doesn't always have the answers in the future and always has to fill these open holes with up-to-date knowledge from the present; explanations such as the name of her husband, presenting the answer to a science question for her daughter, and how she came to receive insight from the future. In an infinite loop, the future, the past, and the present all benefit from each other. A new perspective on how we live life is offered by the message given. The aliens can ...

The CCR midterm

  The CCR midterm 1.        How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?     Our  product challenges   conventions in  many different ways . We also are representing a wide social class within our video. Essentially the group  that  representing is teenage girls  and also  women in general. Essentially our targeted audience is all and everyone. We are shining a light on toxic relationships. Henceforth we see such acts all throughout our video. We also see highlights from fake friends and such. Our main point of this video  was  to represent the class of women that is essentially not seen because society ignores women's issues especially when it comes to toxic relationships.  W omen  are  seen as  overdramatic  and over victimized. Yet within society, there isn't enough light on these toxic relationships and friendships. Wh...

Genre Research: Thriller & Drama

  Thriller Common lighting in this genre is backlighting, under lighting, and lowkey lighting. This helps to create a dark and mysterious atmosphere and helps to conceal the character's identity, which adds to that suspense.  Some common camera angles are close-ups shots, which exemplify the emotions of the characters or frames an object, to be at attention. Point of view shots allow the viewers to feel emotionally engaged because they feel as though they are the character.  Tracking is a common camera movement that follows the character's action but at the same doesn't spoil the movie.  For this genre costumes usually worn by the antagonist are darker. Weapons are commonly used as props to help convey risk and danger.  The settings are normally in an intense location usually secluded.  A common form of editing in this genre is parallel editing which helps to add tension and illustrate the character's emotions.  The sounds this genre usually contains a...
