We're back

 Hi I am Jack lynch I am an AS Media Studies student. I was raised in south Florida and spent my entire life within the united states. I have been around the country a few times but have yet to cross the border to another country. For me the use of media is a way to grasp things that cant be experienced in real life. I use media as a way to be somewhere I've never been or a time in which I wasn't born into.  Its a way to connect with the things I normally wouldn't be able to. Its the Spanish movies I watch with my great grandma or the comedy I watch with my parents. It is a means for connection. Normally I wouldn't be able to connect with some of my family members do to the language barrier but through movies I get to feel what they are feeling even if there were no words exchanged. The emotion created from such experiences is universal and I wouldn't be able to have such a deep connection otherwise. Another important aspect of media that I find myself drawn to is sports. Watching the competitive nature of the best in their sports is always exciting. Whether it be the aggressive and action packed American football to the more slow paced skillful sport that is golf, I enjoy it all. Each sport has an appeal and watching the best in each is incredible. The use of media as a whole is incredible. There are so many things to be seen and enjoyed. The genres range so variously and the mediums as well. I had never thought about it before starting Media studies but the effort placed in media is tremendous. Now I'm in A level and my understanding of the effort put into creation is even greater. I wouldn't be able to describe it with words. I'm happy to be back and start up the new year of media.

How to make a short film

 The video "How to make a short film" by film riot will act as a helpful tool. This video gives our group a good sense of what well need to do in creating our short film. Most of this is in the preparation and setup that allows the story to come through within the short amount of time. It says not to write something that wont fit the resources that are available to us. Our short film should be written having in mind the actors as well as the access to equipment we have. We would not be able to perform huge cgi shots or anything from the sky as we don't have the equipment for it and we should plan accordingly. Another important aspect of the film that we should focus on is tone. The video goes over tone as it relates to camera positioning as well as lighting and setting. The tone should be appropriate throughout or else it will lose legitimacy. as for the casting when it comes to this video it says to make sure to get out of them what is needed and we will have to take thi...

Production delay

Image
 Our group has made plans to film in the future as we experienced some scheduling setbacks. The last few weeks have been difficult as we have had less face to face time to make plans for our production. There has been religious holidays as well as unexpected early release days. The main scheduling conflicts lies in the hurricane that hit Florida last week. The hurricanes impact on Florida left us without school and personally left me without access to power during parts of those days. The hurricane made my parents more vigilant over my movement outside of the home which made it nearly impossible to meet up. We had no choice but to wait for another opportunity. The weekend came and went and we had yet to communicate on a day to meet. We met during our class this week and decided to meet in the near future. The timing didn't align for us with our afterschool activities so we could not meet up during the week. While talking over the plan to meetup one of our members said they wor...
