AICE Media Studies

  What did you enjoy? I enjoyed searching for videos and videos that really resembled me in the best light. I was a good trip down memory lane. I also loved the editing process. It allowed me to be creative and bring my vision to life. see it it all put together was a happy moment for me. Also getting too share ideas and help my friends with their projects, while getting feed back.But most of all I enjoyed getting through the first project of the year. What was hard? Though it did only take me two hours to film and edit. Finding the time was the hardest part for me. Between work, classes, and my home life. It could all get in the way and cause me to procrastinate. That and putting my words and previous blogs to life. Writing everything I was gonna do was a lot easier said than done. But I enjoy film making and editing. I wouldn't phrase it as hard, but rather challenging. What was easy?  What was easiest for me was the brainstorming. Coming up with ideas and letting my creativ...

had so much fun!

Hey Blog! Previously from my last one I mentioned how I would go more in depth of my editing format. I want my video to start off as a virtual diary, where I introduce myself "hey diary". With more of a minimalist vibe in title and the start of the song of my choice. I want it to be very vague and then through out it turns more colorful. I would add fun and happy moments of me with my friends. The song with get are upbeat. Also the editing format will change completely. I The editing alone will help emphasize who I am and how I feel as though I'm portrayed. I would use adobe pro to edit. My dad taught me freshman year. I would also have the lighting of my video slowly change from dull to light to portray how Im a bit shy at first. But once you get to know me, you see the fun, talkative version of myself. I also want to add stuff like my future goals. Or things I want to check off my bucket list.

  Whats up Blog. Even though this is our first project, and it's only supposed to be a minuet to 30 seconds. I still find it a bit difficult to actually start the filming proportion of my commercial. The way that my other classes and this new job getting in the. Plus my father who said will help me is really busy. I might have to make a few tweaks and changes to the format of my video. I believe I will start filming this weekend and have to set up in my room. Which is fine, because I believe it would make my video a bit more homey and show "me''. To me my room reflects who I am. It's my safe space. I could be in this messy unorganized room for hours. It has a sudden calmness to it and everything seems so still. I might change my style to be a visual diary entry format. It s a good theme because duhh Im a teenage girl who loves writing. You would know everything about me just from my journal. I know I rally discussed editing, but I will go into more detail in my nex...

Hey blog. While in the process of filming my commercial about me I wouldn't want it to just be pictures and videos. I would also like to speak for myself. advertise myself. I would set up a Sony camera, in a room where I'm asked questions about myself. Almost like a documentary or a trailer. I would ask questions like "who makes who you are''. Or "what's your aspiration in life". Also questions like "When do you feel the most happiest". I want this project to show me off in the best way possible. Hopefully in a 3-5 minuet time frame. I would have my dad help me out on this because he has a side job were he gets hired to film for people. Almost like a director. Also I would like another persons point of view of me. especially someone so close to me like my father. Maybe if I have time I might film B-roll, or filler scenes of my current state. But other than that I believe the filming part of my project should come together prettywell. Really ...

  Hey Blog!My commercial would be in a coming of age/documentary type of form. I want it to be intriguing yet emotional. It will introduce me as the main character and basically showcase how who I am. With the cinematography and play of music I believe my work can show how creative I am. I will try to use more warm lighting/filter. I believe lighting is one of the main bases to good imagery and appealing to emotion to my happier scenes. I would transition into cooler tones to showcase sadness and despair. the song I picked "Nobody Gets Me'' by SZA  has plenty of highs and lows that would flow so well with my storytelling.I do believe it might be challenging to make this all work, but in my previous works and gain of knowledge in A/V tech at Collins Hill High I think I can produce something pretty great. With this project I will use adobe pro to edit. My father taught me how to edit projects on there. Its great for special effects, dramatics, sound ect. Maybe with the help ...

 The Photos I picked out for my blog would be surrounded about how I felt in the moment. I want to be able to show true feeling and emotion of who I am but not on a surface level. I want to express how I let my environment and people I let in my life effect my world. Being yourself is a combination of everyone that reflects you in different angles. Some of them are bad and some of them are good. I picked the song "Nobody Gets Me" by SZA. Its a song I connect with on a deeper level because I feel as though it reflects everyone close relation I have. I may act different with different friends or family, but nobody gets me the way that they do when I show them who I am. The videos used for this project will show the bright sides of me and the dopamine I exclaim from being around the people I love and how they let me express the real me. Though I would also include some cloudy videos of me to show how not everything is perfect. Everything is human. Bad days are human, bad weeks, ...

  “Hi, I'm Tantou and I like cranberry juice, I'm vegan, and I enjoy film. I get decent grades and do the bare minimum. I have two parents and a brother. My brother lives in Africa while me and my folks stay in florida. I enjoy hanging with my friends and playing volleyball.” Is a pretty basic way to introduce myself. It's boring, bland, and surface level, But that's how I present myself. A mediocre teenage girl who doesn't care. In reality all of those things are true, but not true to me. I am Tantou Diana Kebe. A girl who aspires to live life like I care. Sometimes I believe in these crucial teen/almost adult years I don't know how I'm supposed to be. I know who I am, but what makes me that? I'm gonna be brutally honest. I'm selfish, lazy, and scared all the time. I feel as though I'm never supported, so therefore I dont have the ability to support anyone else. That's a flaw of mine that stops me from being great. My home life is not so bad...
