intro blog


  Hi there, my name is Ella Wills, I am a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. This year I am excited to be back in school with my teachers and classmates, but now in A Level!  I am seventeen years old, 18 in 4 days actually. I like to think of myself as an outgoing person, but I do enjoy the company of myself more than anything. I consider myself pretty independent. I do really love to spend time with my family as well. I live with my stepdad and mom. My dad lives in Ireland and is still very close to me. I visit him twice a year there and its very fun. My mom is from England and we also visit there a lot too, as all my family is in the UK. I absolutely love it over there. When I'm older I would like to explore more on that side of the world. I definitely have a passion for travel. In school I try and be very focused on my work and put all my attention to getting my Cambridge diploma. All my AICE classes so far have been challenging, but I have been learning a lot and feel as if I have improved in my learning. In my media class I am excited to learn about film and dynamics of making videos. I do have a strong interest in this class that will hopefully lead to me doing well. I take schooling seriously and work hard. I feel this year will be a good year. Now that you know more about me, I am excited to do my final task and i’m sure to make it my best!

genre research (action)

 Hello again, The next genre that we researched was action. Everyone loves a good action movie. I found a lot of things action movies tend to have that other genres do not. An action movie in many circumstances have a problem that doesn’t really happen in reality, but have someone who steps up to help the issue or conflict. They also tend to have a fast-moving plot, usually containing forms of violence. Action movies tend to have people on the edge of their seat, because it can take you into a completely different reality. It really makes you think what would happen if this was actually real. some essential camera angles in the action filmmaking are establishing shots, long shots, wide angles, medium shots, extreme close up, two shot and over the shoulder. Of course there are more shots that these filmmakers use but these are the most common. in the action genre suspense is key, this helps the viewer keep interest on the movie and help them want to know what happens next. Like in a...

Title research: Eternals

 The first movie we researched was Eternals. This is an action movie from 2021. It is very recently released and it was one of the best rated action movies in 2021 to be released. We watched the first nine minutes of the movie to watch the opening scenes and we noticed many things. The titles shown during the opening sequence began with the opening of Marvel Studios, then proceeded to have no captioning. In the opening scenes of the movie, the scenes that are prioritized are showing the main characters to introduce you. They also make sure to include the dramatic scenery behind them of what's to come in the movie so that there is suspense provided for the viewer to want to watch more. The connotation these scenes provide is suspense, this is because they want the viewers to lean into their scene to look forward to what's to come in the movie. The feeling of suspense provides an eager want to get deeper into the movie. Due to the dramatic music, the darker lighting, the backgrou...

Title research: Shang-Chi

 The next movie we decided to do research on was the movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. We chose this movie because its a well known action movie that is very high rated and the title sequence for this movie was absolutely astonishing. This movie's title sequence describes how a movie or television show presents its title, key production elements, and cast members using visuals and sound. They included the director, the actors, screenplay maker, screen story maker, the producers, editors, and other important figures in the making of the movie. This is important because it gives acknowledgement to the people who contributed big parts into making the movie. In the opening sequence there are many images shown, but the main images are slowed down warriors fighting, they seem to be made out of crystals or water breaking apart as they are struck through and then the title of who was being acknowledged would come onto the screen. This title sequence carries connotations with...
