AICE Media Studies

I am going to work by myself in this final task because I want to make my ideas become reality with nobody in my group who can oppose them and try to come up with their own. I also wanted to work alone because I don't want my friends to hold me back and make me procrastinate like I did in the last 2 projects so for this one I'll make sure to do everything on time and well written.

 Hi, My name is Leandro Cruz, I am a Fort Lauderdale High School student in my senior year of high school and I am so excited to be in this class. Over the last 5 months I have been learning so much about filming and how movies are made by the step by step processes of making it. I am excited to start the final task for my Media Studies class because I have a chance to show off my skills in movie making and show what I've learned. My last 2 assignments helped me learn about the hardships when it comes to film making and I hope this one goes smoothly as I learn more in the process and polish my skills in movie making. 

 

  In the video I really wanted to get it in one day but that made the things look not as good since towards the end of recording the wind started to get really fast and it was just about to rain. I found a spot with a lot of trees and nature around it. I started by standing next to a pole and looking sad. Then immediately got up and looked happy lip-syncing at the start. Then I danced a little to show the happiness in the song. I made some props to represent the animals in the video. I found a tree that was small enough for me to put the puppet on. I then put the elephant near the camera to make it look really big and used the zoom on my camera to show how small the fly was. I then put in the ground. And Filmed the birds in the sky.

 After the filming was finished I started to edit by first cutting the bad takes and find the best takes for it. Then I put the clips in order. Then I thought of a way to keep all these clips short enough to hit the 1 min mark. Then I downloaded the song to sync with the video. Then I gathered all the clips to be ready to edit them. I audio synced all the clips. I muted the original audio because it was windy outside and I wasn't able to hear anything so I just dubbed the song over it and sync my lip movements to it.
