Intro Blog


 My name is Dartamian Dorelien and I am in 10th grade. I chose to take AICE Media Studies because of all the positive reviews that my friends gave me about the class. I was really interested in all the cool and fun activities that they participated in within the class. I’m excited to get to work on cool projects and learn new technological skills. I’ve always been interested in editing and I always wanted to create my own videos. I feel that with this class I will be able to expand my knowledge and use it to benefit me. I love to watch many movies and tv shows so this class seems fun. I would love to see more on how professional movies and shows are produced. I know a lot of hard work and many different roles are need to produce a good film and I want to do my best to get it done. I like the way that actors really have to become a new person so I also look forward to that. The way that you have to embody a whole new character is very interesting. This class will help me to look at the world in a new perspective. I can do something that I’m not use to doing and that I can enjoy. I love the fact that teamwork is always encouraged. I feel that a choice to bring two or more people to make a project better is a very nice option. I think that I have a big imagination and lots of creativity. I hope I can take all of my ideas and create a fun and amazing project. I don’t really know how to film correctly so I am excited to learn. I hope I can do a very nice job on all my filming. I have high expectations for this class and can’t wait.

Movie Conventions Blog: Knives Out

Image
  This movie contains many close-up shots on individual character's faces. Usually mystery movies consist of close-up shots to show facial expressions of the character. Typically fear, anger, and sadness are the emotions showed. However, In Knives Out, the characters tend to have confused facial expressions because they clues they run into do not make sense to them. Also, the diegetic sound in this film is similar to traditional mystery movies because of the startling ambient sounds. For example, when the detective is walking through the house, the floorboards creek and clock ticks loudly.                     I really love the low angles in this movie because it shows me which characters are the powerful ones. Normally, low angles are used to portray superiority in a villain but in this case it can apply to the detective. Also, the establishing shot at the start of the movie sets the tone perfectly. It starts out by showin...

Title Website Research

         The website Art of the Title is a title art website that details and describes the titles sequences. The website conveys these title sequences by showcasing a major story, above this page is a search bar that allows the searcher to look for specific directors and producers. At the bottom of the page the website features stories detailing major things happening in the title design industry. This website also features classic title designs in the search bar along with recommended title screens. Another cool feature of this website is that it allows the viewer to view all title themes in a grid view. These features make the website really useful and the extensive amount of films combined with the articles written about them make this website great for researching titles. However despite all of these features it can be difficult to find movies of a specific genre which mitigates a lot of the websites pros. I believe that the website could also be improved t...
