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!

Production Blog: Editing Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. In my last blog you heard how we finally filmed! Not everything went as we planned but we had to make do. Today I am going to be telling you about the editing process of our film. I actually edited the film on my phone for the most part. The editing process took a very long time, longer than I expected. If I had to give a number, I would say this process took a total of 2-3 hours. But, we knew we had to make up for our filming aspect so I did what I had to do. We edited our short film on this app called CapCut. CapCut is a very popular editing app which I have used in the past. What I mean by this is I love how you don't have to be the most experienced at editing and your edits can still come out great. When editing, the first thing I did was gather the clips. Once I did this, I started to think about all the titles needed. When editing this, I took inspiration from a previous movie I researched. What I did intentionally, I made sure the effec...

Production Blog: Filming Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog!  Guess what, we filmed! My group mate and I finally filmed. Mya and I filmed at Sawgrass Mall, a mall near both of our houses. Filming took about a two hours in total. We were on a time crunch so we had to hurry . The person we ended up using to play the kidnapper was both Mya and I's friend Joey. We picked Joey because  fit the type of person we wanted to play that character.  But, Joey ended up not being able to come last minute which we started to panic. The main problem we had when filming was finding a location. Specifically , it was hard for our group to find a family bathroom that fit how we wanted it to look. We wanted a family bathroom so that we can all go inside and film inside the bathroom with everyone helping out. We ended up not being able to find a family restroom. We looked all over the mall and couldn't find one and we all started to freak out. But, we couldn't make one appear so we just decided to scrap that s...

Genre Decision Blog

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog, today I wanted to share with you my group's decision on what genre our final task will be.  The first genre we considered was a comedic genre and this was a genre we spent a lot of time looking at. When looking at it, we liked how comedy and comedic decision is spread throughout the entire media,  for example, you have the comedic and goofy movements with the camera shaking and going upside down. As we reviewed it more, our thoughts changed about the props and we originally didn't like the use of props but as we reviewed we began to see the comedic purposes that props play and that purpose,  it can be the actor using it to do something silly or really anything, and we also liked how we would use diegetic sound like laughing to get the genre across even more. But, there was a really big dealbreaker when it came to part of this genre and that was the dialogue aspect. The reason this was a dealbreaker is because we thought it...
