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!

Title research: Shang-Chi

Image
 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...

hard work with editing

Image
  It’s almost that time! Dellana and I are so excited to say that we are almost done with our movie journey ! We ran into some problems on the way with all of it. Although we still pushed through and got the editing done. We had some problems with adding the music and sound effects. Unfortunately they were not linking properly to the movie. We tried many options to get it to work and all of them failed. We then began to panic a little bit. We looked up some videos on youtube to try and help us. We finally found one that was helpful. We proceeded back to editing and it finally worked! Unfortunately that wasn’t all. Then some clips disappeared while editing as well. We recovered them thank goodness. We were a little stressed to say the least over everything that had been going on. After we managed to fix everything, we were very relieved. This was just a minor bump that we needed to overcome. In the end we were very happy with how it turned out. We still might make some final touch u...

Genre Research (Romance)

Image
 The first genre we chose to research was romance. Typically, in romance films there are many different camera angles, editing, and sounds. I researched three different movies with the genre of romance, Twilight, After, and Adrift. In every movie, there is some type of downfall where something goes wrong between the main characters who are in the relationship. In romance movies the most used camera angles were close-ups, shoulder level shots, long shots, and eye level shots. For the close ups, it causes a more dramatic effect for viewers to see a more emotional view behind the eyes of the actors, then with shoulder level shots, it gives a better view of body language and facial movements so that the viewers can establish an idea of what the actors are feeling. In the long shots, this showed the backgrounds of the characters and what settings they were in so the viewer can get a better understanding of what's going on, and lastly the eye level shots provide a deep connection to the ...
