After debating these pitches as a group. we finally were able to chose one. We went with the first pitch. As a group we were all able to realte and connect to this idea more. Each one of us love sports, and are intrested in the subject. Making a project off of something that we are aactually intrestred in would lead to a better result. THe other two pitches, in comparison, were boring and seemed almost cliched. We felt we could take our first pitch and have more creative freeway were we can create a project that is unique, and unique to us. Each member was excited when we came up with this idea, much more then the rest, becuase we believe we can draw much more inpiration for this project. Overall i ...

Hi, my name is Ayden Marshall. I am 16 years old and go to Fort Lauderdale high school. This is my second year in AICE media. I am now in A level. i enjoy being around friends. My friends make me happy. anytime i get the oppertunity, i would choose to be with them. But being with my friends a lot is not the only thing about me. I love music. I enjoy all genres of music, even country. Music has the ability to make me happy, sad, and just express my emotions. i love kendrick lamar, deftones, the cure, adn dizzy Gillespie. I love to cook. I work as a line chef at Union bar and kitchen. Cooking is one of my serious passions. I always enjoy expressing myself creativly in any way i can. Wether its through cooking, music, or art, i always try and fing a creative outlet. This is one reason i am drawn to media studies. Medi studies is another way i can exercise my creativity, and i really enjoy the class. I am overall very excited about the upcoming year.

Here is the final product. i am very satistfied in all i did. overll i think there could have been improvemnets on everyones part. i spent a lot of time on this and felt that wasnt reflected by others. on thing is our group could have had better planning. some memebers did not value the importance of filimg. so it took to long to get everything filmed. i believe i did not use the right software to edit. the prcess coild have been much smoother if i used a better application.however, i am very satisfied woth our work.

The process of making my movie is almost done. There is only a couple steps left. On of them being the peer review process. For this process i need, friends, fanily, and classmates to watch my short film. They will then give contructive feedback on it. This can include, thier opinon. What they think is missing. And what they think you can add. Some people werent as helpful as others. The first person i showed was my mom. Out of motherly love she just told me it was great. Not to much help. SO i showed my brother. He told me that the pacing felt off. I aggred. Then I showed my classmates. The first classmate i showed told me that he thought he transitions were wierd. I aggred. Then i showed another Classmate. He mantioned how the footsteps did not line up with the video.

The most challenging part of this project so far has been the music. Why is this? Well, for many reasons. For starters discussing what music we want to use for teh project. The group talked for a while about what we would choose. We narrowed it down to a couple dicissions. Redbone by childish Gambino. Willowcrest by buddy rich. And Xtal by aphex twin. We then dicided we did not like that latter option. It did not match the aesthetic we were going for. THen i had to email the artists and labels asking for permission. I also messaged them on social media platforms. Sadly, none of them got back. This is when the process got challenging. I had to make the final decision to use royalty free music. I spent hours looking for the perfect songs to use. I landed on a couple. I decided to use them interchangebaly. Then i had to lay the music into the video. Then line it up with the clips. And mix the volumes to match.
