Its been a while, WELCOME BACK!

 Hi guys and welcome back to my blog. It's been about a month since you have heard from me and so much has change. If you forgot, my name is Marvin Exantus and I am a sophomore currently taking media studies. Specifically im in AS Media Studies. The last time you saw me was when I was filming my music video. Time is flying by so fast now because I am about to be filming my final task soon! I have enjoyed media studies so much. The work does feel overload sometimes. It also sometimes hard to schedule stuff in being that the class does require you to meet up with your group outside of school. This feels sometimes hard because of having to fit it into my schedule due to all the other classes I'm taking. But, the class does have positives as well that I like. At times, when I finish all my work early I'm able to relax in class and talk with my friends. One of the things I have loved the most so far was the editing process. I liked the editing process because it allows my creativity to take the wheel. Or in other words, I get to take all the clips and bring the project together with transitions, lighting, and more. I would say my media process has flourished from the beginning of the year to now. I mean just comparing my commercial to my music video, I see a huge difference. Specifically , I see a difference in how more professional and directed my media looks. From the use of more angles to the editing , I have improved so much. Well, that is it for now everyone , I'm so glad you get to be on the journey with me for my final task and enjoy the picture of my friends and I in media studies, BYE!

WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG!

Hello everyone, it’s Marvin and I know it’s been a while but WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG! Last time you saw me I was a newbie to the media world but so much has changed. Now I’m in A level media and I completed my AICE diploma. But, even though I completed my diploma I still decided to continue taking some AICE classes because I just fell in love with them , for example media. I’m now a junior and next year I’m going to be a senior and I have to start applying for college. It’s pretty scare how fast life is moving because when people told me high school went fast, I didn’t believe it. It felt like I was just a freshman yesterday sitting in AICE General Paper and marine science and global perspectives. Now , I’m in two a level courses and taking AP classes on top of that. But since I’ve finished AICE, I would say my hardest class I took would be AICE European History. I really thought I wouldn’t pass the exam but when I got my score back I almost burst into tears because that was the last r...

Production Blog

 Production Blog Welcome back everyone! We finally finished filming our commercial. Our group worked so well together when filming the commercial and we all contributed towards the direction the commercial took. When we were filming, we kept thinking very hard about the shots and my group and I were very mindful to use different types of shots when we were filming so we can have a variety. When filming some of our shots on this day, there were some problems where some of the specific scenes did not look natural. One example of this was our 3rd scene. In this scene, one of our subjects was fake sleeping and it did not look as real as possible and in order to fix this problem, my group and I did multiple shots of the scenes and chose the best ones. For our second scene, we had arranged the set properly. We had people sit in certain places,  stand in certain places , and look in a specific direction when talking. For all our scenes, we had our subjects have some input as to how w...

Group Blog

 Hello everyone and thank you for finding my group blog for my music video. I had a group for my commercial which was composed of Mya, Kyra, and I. But, for this project our group has gotten smaller and is now composed of just Mya and I. Kyra decided she wanted to work with a new group this time which we fully respect and we both still are great friends with Kyra. I chose to continue working with Mya because of her work ethic. Mya is great when it comes to group project because she gets stuff done. When we did our commercial, Mya would always remind Kyra and I in a group chat when we had due dates for the commercials. Mya would also always get her part of the project done within enough time for the rest of us to review it and make any changes if we needed to but there were always hardly any changed needed to be made. Another reason I decided to work with Mya again was because of her leadership when filming. When we were filming our commercial Mya would take charge without taking ov...
