A Level Media Studies Short Film Final

  When I first began this entire process, I was clueless and immature . I had no idea how much effort I would have to put in day in and day out. I planned to do things in a perfect world which led to many setbacks . I had no consideration for my timing or other time or lives. The research I did helped me gain a better grasp of exactly what I am dealing with. I like to inform myself often of the world and what is going on. I tend to remember information much more easily if it piques my interest. In contrast, in cinematography as a director, it is interesting to me to realize the actions done and taken in films as well as have a more informed opinion on the film and what I am viewing. As I have moved along in my research throughout the film , I have felt like I am striking something big, exposing media attention to an audience normally not spoken to. I felt like my inclusive actions would shine amongst the films of this year. Yet the idea I had in mind was beyond ...

I'll also be posting teasers on there very soon and a few other projects i have been working on behind the scenes. Like the title suggests, this is all to be continued. Until next time, dear followers!

Going back to edutainment (i still don't like that word), we discussed creating a visual appeal to the documentary to engage audiences to have them learn and additionally entertain them. Here we have exhibit A where animation comes into play. It is an effective educational tool that can simplify complex content for better understanding for viewers of all ages. It further allows for a higher accessibility rate for audiences who may not understand English so well so that they can follow along in the content.  Animation can also help maintain viewer interest, especially in documentaries that deal with data-heavy or technical content. The dynamic and visually engaging nature of animation can captivate audiences and keep them engaged throughout the documentary. The other day i mentioned that my documentary may be experimental as its going to be a hybrid of presentational infographics and video. So i will be implementing animation for that portion of infographics so i can better engage t...

You might be wondering: What does Leonardo Davinci and you have in common? The answer to that question is nothing. In fact i have no care for the "Leonardo", today I'm only focusing on the "Davinci" part. A name as iconic his has some powerful merits to it. Its easy advertisement, and represents a group as of high quality and innovative as a reflection of Davinci's work. Why the sudden interest in him? Well I'm glad you asked, I'm going to be using for my editing software Davinci Resolve. This software is very good so much so to the point where entire films have been edited on it. It has plenty of color editing innovative features that are used for post production to get the desired scene. So why this software? This film is going to be largely having plenty of natural scenes and natural lighting. On the strict timing period that we are on, we wont be able to get perfect lighting for each and every shot. As a result, this would correct any scenes with...
