Script: The first scene  *subject will walk up to camera and lip-synchs a bit* *each respective animal puppet comes in as the corresponding animal in the song is mentioned* *The animals fly or dance around depending on the type of animal they are* *For the finale the subject is present with all the animals for a cute finishing number* Location: We will likely be filming at the park. Props: I have the materials for: Two stuffed birds Paper bag animal puppets Wooden elephant Construction paper animals String and or sticks for puppeteering Backup: If it rains, I'll find a new park or film with a rainy aesthetic: umbrellas and puddles and raincoats. If I can't find strings to use for our 'puppets', I'll puppet everything with sticks. We will have to be outdoors though, so if the outdoors is unworkable, we will have to film in better weather. Costumes: My partner will be wearing bright colors, since he is the subject. My outfit and whoever else is behind the scene is irr...

  The song itself itself is a satire comedy piece on the nature of children's shows, how capitalism is portrayed in the media, as well as how minority voices tend to be silenced. But funnily enough we will be cutting it down to just a fun little Sesame Street-esque song. Children's songs is our genre of choice. CAMS: Camera-  Camera angles tend to be straightforward, never too complicated. The occasional zoom in. Angles- Mostly uses eye level. Often more sophisticated angles will be used to portray underlying themes or messages. Such things are not usually present in videos with children in mind. Movement- Unless it utilizes choreography, movements of actors stay in the same place or walk around a bit. The camera will usually stay in the same place as well. Sometimes the camera will gently move with or closer to the subject. It doesn't move too harshly or in a way that might be confusing for it's young viewers. Shots- They also usually don't go lower than an upper b...

 Hi my name is Leandro Cruz, and I'll be talking about the members that I'll be working with in a group. I will be working with Nicole Hernandez , and I want to work with her because she is responsible, she is smart, she is nice, she is a hard worker, she has the same interests as me, she doesn't like to procrastinate, and she always got my back. She also is a creative person that can draw and help me with research and all the other components. We're still deciding what we're gonna do for the project and how we're gonna do it but I think we are going to succeed in this class. I also chose her because we live close to each other so it makes it easier for us to meet up and finish the projects and presentations. She was also inspired to join the class because she was curious to see what it was about and it looked like a cool thing to make as a career. She is also a good editor so it would make the quality of the videos much better and more enjoyable. 

 Hi my name is Leandro Cruz, I am a senior in high school right now and I took AICE Media Studies because I wanted to explore what media studies is about and what type of careers I could get out of it. I was born and grew up in Florida and I like to play soccer and play guitar. I go to Fort Lauderdale High school and have been through many things going through all my Cambridge classes and passing them. I want to become a better student and to feel how it is to be a editor and producer of my own film. When I first got into this class I was a little worried because there were many kids in the class. And I didn't know anybody in that class so I was weirded out at first. But then I opened up a bit and found someone to help me with the projects.  When it comes to sports, I’ve always had a passion for soccer and have been playing it since 5th grade. I’ve been a player for the Hollywood Wildcats team for many years and enjoy the teamwork and professional coaching I’ve received there ...
