Short Film Pitch

Image
 A group of friends explore a creepy forest and mysteriously die one after another . This is our group's pitch for our film.  This pitch may sound similar to the pitch of Nicholas and I's Media Studies AS level film introduction.  That is because it is.  We really enjoyed the idea we had for our last project and want to expand on it.  Kyle, our third group member was also involved in our film introduction from AS Level.  He was an actor in the film.  In fact, he was the actor with the most screen time.  The short film will have the genres of mystery and horror.  We plan for the tone to be serious.  Hopefully, even scary.  There are many ways we have thought of makin g -he idea from our AS Level project more in depth.  We do not plan to use footage from the last project.  Instead, we will simply use the idea as inspiration and make something new from it.  Perhaps we will make one of the students in the group the culpri...

 For the short film I will be making this year it is possible to work in a group.  Last year, I could also work in a group for my film intro.  Last year, I chose to work with someone.  Specifically, just one person, not an entire group.  Last year, I worked with Nicholas Arnold.  Nicholas has been a friend for years and I happened to be taking Media Studies with him last year, so the pairing worked out great.  It was improved by Nicholas's preference to edit and my preference to write/edit.  This year, Nicholas is in my Media Studies Class again.  So, I plan to work with him again.   For my movie intro I made, it needed more actors than just me or my family.  So, Nicholas and I asked for some help from friends that had taken Media Studies before themselves.  Among them was Kyle Weiner.  Kyle took Media Studies AS level before we had, so we couldn't work with him but, when working with him on our film intro, he seemed ...

Intro Blog to AICE Media Studies A Level

 My name is Grant Cipollone.  The school I attend is Fort. Lauderdale High School in Fort Lauderdale Florida.  Last year, I took AICE Media Studies AS level.  I enjoyed it very much.  I liked filming with my friends and family and learning about the process.  Because I liked it so much, I chose to take AICE Media Studies A level.  I am interested in doing a more in-depth film project this year.  This year, unlike last year, I will be able to work with more of my friends that chose to take A level media.  Since I love watching movies, learning about film production in AICE Media Studies is very interesting to me.  I have found it fun to learn about the different camera angles and editing practices so far.  I am excited for the creation of the movie since there is a lot of freedom for creativity. What I have learned so far in AICE Media Studies are different film terms and what they look like in a real application.  These include...
