Why I'm here

    Hey there everyone, my name's Abdullah. I'm a sophomore who goes to Everglades High School, and some of my hobbies include basketball, cartography, tracking weather, coding, and a bunch of other stuff too. In Middle School I went Franklin Academy Pembroke Pines (K-8). I still feel like a freshman honestly because last year I was going online and this is really my first time entering the building.

    I didn't actually choose to be in this class (or even list it on my course selection sheet). The reason I'm taking this class is because my schedule that I was given at the beginning of the year was messed up, and listed a class that I had already taken the previous year online. Earlier last week when an option to switch my schedule came out I went on and requested to be moved out of the redundant course.

    As a result, I now have been put in this class, named "Media Studies". I honestly didn't know what to expect based on the name, and was thinking that the course would be somewhere along the line of being some kind of journalism class. Now though that it's been a few days, it really seems like its some kind of film class, which I suppose is alright. Maybe I'll find that I'm passionate in this or something... Also the blog we get is pretty nifty too. I had no idea it was this easy to create a blog on Blogspot!

    Anyway as for the whole class, I'm not entirely sure how it's going to go, but it looks like I'll be taking it

Videos

A few days back, we were made to create five different shots for our class with a partner, each using a different camera angle. Here is my work:      Video #1 - Introductory Scene - This shot shows the campus before stopping and zooming in on a tree, which the audience will ideally view as being the most integral part of the story. It's introductory because it shows the setting of the rest of the movie and introduces key items. This shot was created by simply rotating the camera and then using the zoom function on it, zoning in on the tree. Our goal of making an introductory scene was probably achieved.      Video #2 - High Shot - This shot displays Arturo (my partner) from a high vantage point below the viewer. In the video, he picks up a stick and slowly points it upward, towards the camera. The way this was recorded was by me standing on a bench and rotating the camera angle down at Arturo, then slowly tilting it upward during the course of the filming i...

CCR - Creative Critical Reflection

This is my Creative Critical Reflection (Length 11:44): NOTE: THERE IS AN ERROR AT 2:03 - I say "DIEGETIC SOUND" when I mean to say "NON-DIEGETIC SOUND". Summary: Overall, it was a great experience working on this project. The film overall is a horror / adventure film about someone who "loses" some of his friends while driving without any explanation or reason. This causes him to have a mental breakdown, serving as the intro to our movie "Search", which will presumably be about the driver searching for his friends. Analyzation: 1st scene: Color is utilized to symbolize future and foreshadowing; Non-diegetic Sound is not used to keep tone neutral 2nd scene: Could potentially be improved; we did not give anyone dialogue to use Transition from 2nd to 3rd scene: Could potentially be improved; There is a problem in that some viewers may think a significant amount of time is passing between the two scenes. 3rd scene: Moment of shock for driver; area in...
