Heyy scholars, here's a part of my CCR hope you enjoy listening!! https://youtu.be/ma9DXASlYLQ Podcast Script:  Hey scholars welcome to my podcast I am your host A LaFrance and this is creative thinking. If you guys are familiar with my blogs you know that this is a different setting for me but I kind of wanted to do something different today to reflect with you guys on my project and basically the general process of it and how it came about and what I've learned through it I should say today's question is how does your project use or challenge conventions? and how does it represent social groups or issues? to give a little background our project we were instructed to film a opening sequence my group and I decided to go with the horror genre and the horror genre it has a lot of conventions of such as very gory visual effects that eerie music the creepy soundtracks I'm like of creepy creaking doors footsteps whispers mast figures someone hiding their self identity like t...

Enjoy our Final Task!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xBVJwyQPV4

  Welcome back scholars to your favorite blog!!! Last time we began taking in peer reviews to make our final task a full success. Being able to get reviews from our peers really helps us look into any things we may have missed. Some things that needed to be fixed were the transitions. Many of our peers stated, they enjoyed our sequence but the transitions were a bit fast. "I feel like you can make your transitions a bit slower, so the viewers can take in the full screen set" I agreed, making the transitions too fast may cause viewers confusion or not enough time to assess the scene. There were a couple of critiques on our acting skills. I was shocked when a peer stated our acting was "pretty good". In personally thought otherwise, but it felt really good to know. Another critique we received was our opening shot. In the beginning it was at a certain angle, making it hard to see the content. With some help, we were able to fix this. Viewers have a better understandin...

  Hey scholarss! welcome back to the blog. As you guys may know I finally finished my final task. I think it came out really good, especially with the limited resources we had. When producing a "movie" you wanna make sure you have all the right aspects. I strongly believe my group mates and I executed the opening sequence well. To ensure we can produce it the best way possible, I asked some of my friends for their opinions . Got some critiques to see what we could change to enhance our final product. "It was really funny lol". "I think you guys did a great job". "I think you should turn down the music volume in the background, so we can hear the dialogue better" My classmate gave a couple critiques' with the sound. I realized that it was a bit higher than the dialogue in the video, making it difficult for viewers to hear. I'm really glad she pointed this out. Without the dialogue, it takes away from the movie plot as a whole. Some other g...

  Hey lovelies!! Welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to go even further into the planning of how my group's opening scene came to be. Although planning this was so fun, there was also a lot of layers to it. I'll start by talking about our location. When first discussing about our location, we knew that it would have to be somewhere of a location region as well as a mall where people visit frequently. After conversing about it  we decided on Sawgrass Mall. We were satisfied with that at first the realized that we had an issue.  What we wanted to do would require us to be in a smaller and more confined room. After realizing that, we decided to back on the scratch board and make some compromises. With only a few minutes of deliberating, we decided to use a groupmates' house. With our location confirmed everything seems set.  So far we have all of our scenes set, assigned roles, and our location. Some of the things we're still looking into are the props we will nee...

  Hey scholars, welcome back to my blog! Today was a little boring. Just a regular day at school, plus a french quiz which I definitely aced (I hope). The weather made me really sleepy though. On a side note, I'm almost done making edits to my opening sequence. I know I've been saying that for the past two blogs, but I mean it this time. I continued using capcut to make a couple more edits to my commercial. One extra feature I added was a magazine cover. I know its a bit extra but I did say I wanted to bring it over the top. To achieve this, I used a pre-made template from capcut. I took a photoshop training class my sophomore year of highschool. We used adobe photoshop to learn the basics of photoshopping, etc. It was a really cool class, I learned a lot of different techniques that'll be useful in the future. One thing though, that I kind of regret was not getting my certification due to my slacking. Adobe photoshop is really good, with editing pictures and tweaking them ...

Hello scholars welcome back to your favorite blog!! I am currently working on the edits of my group's opening sequence. So far, everything is coming along well. After adding all the different elements such as the titles, etc. The main title looks amazing. It came out just how our group intended and really serves with the "horror" effect.  No horror movie is complete without a spine-tingling soundtrack, and our opening sequence is no exception.
