AICE MEDIA STUDIES DS - 1

In a scout for locations to call our film home, me and my group had to work with a small space but overall came across a few locations to film. LOCATIONS: The first image shows where we will be recording our segment of the main character running in order to chase her dreams / find her career. Then she will be making a left turn into a dead end where she will be stuck. The second image shows where we will be filming the chess portion of the film where the characters will be playing chess. This grungy background matches the main characters perspective of life and their aesthetic of being an outcast. But the small shrubs and greenery represents the slight chance of bright turmoil.

When it comes to research my group had a vast selection of films that influenced our film. From Romantic Fictions such as Cinderella where the character is looked at as an outcast to Dramatic Horror's like Jaws, our group has been very open minded when developing a genre. When It came down to deciding on one we chose to make our film a dramatic comedy which should be a great way to express the characters we've previously developed.

Regarding student roles, we made the roles revolving around each of our group members personal strengths. Some were overall better at coordinating and order while others are more creative and enjoy trying new things alongside taking risks. For a Genre we decided to make a Dramatic Comedy where the character is trying to find herself as a person and choose her career choice one move at a time like a chess game. Now that the idea and plot is established all that is left if execution.

In this film my role is the editor.   My overall interests is in fashion, art and music. Habits I've learned so far  about the my media diet is that I like to create vast ideas and then overall shallow down into one. I'm interested in media studies because I create videos on YouTube and I was interested in learning to make my personal videos indulging and overall more entertaining.
