Its time for a change

Hey guys it has been a while, but I am back. If you forgot who I am let me get you up to speed. My name is Nick Shenaj. I am in 11th grade, and I am in the level of media studies. My mom is from Russia, and my dad is from Albania, but I was born here in the US. My favorite sport is soccer and I play with my friends every week. A lot has happened since the last blog. Christmas happened and I got lots of cool presents. were even starting this blog in a New Year! I even made new friends at that time. But enough about me, let us get into the good part. It has been a while since I've written here but I'm back for a reason. The reason is a new project. This is already my third project of the year. Wow how fast time has passed. The other two were great successes and I learned a lot from them. But I'm as prepared as ever for the task that is going to be ahead. Our task is to make the beginning of a movie. That may sound a bit dull but it's quite the opposite. The beginning of the movie introduces you to the characters and the setting. But that's all you'll get for now, see you.

Editing the music video

It is time for another blog. Today I will talk about my experience editing the blog. Last time we edited a blog a groupmate did it this time I am going to edit it. Recently I have been practicing my editing and think I did well. I was thinking to edit with iMovie on my phone but decided to change to adobe. Using adobe, I can easily use it on my computer and will not show a watermark. I started editing the day after filming to finish before the deadline. I managed to finish in one day after getting sent all the footage. We had tons of footage to use and even didn't use some. I did have some trouble editing. The main problem was getting the footage to my computer. Since we recorded on a phone, we would have to send it via email which takes a while to download and send. Matching the song to the different clips took the most time because I wanted it to look as good as possible . But once I got over that hurdle it was smooth sailing. The main thing I was working on was the transit...

Short Film Research: Other Side of The Box/Thriller

Image
In the short film: Other Side of the Box, it opens with a shot of a dark and stormy night. A man is seen driving frantically through the city, his face contorted with fear. We see glimpses of a mysterious figure in the rearview mirror, seemingly following him. The man pulls up to a deserted warehouse and hurries inside, locking the door behind him. He frantically searches for a place to hide, but it seems the figure has already found him. The man hears footsteps approaching and turns to see a shadowy figure standing in the doorway. He tries to run, but trips and falls to the ground. The figure approaches and stands over him, revealing a sinister smile. The man pleads for his life, but the figure simply pulls out a knife and lunges forward. A struggle ensues, with the man desperately trying to fend off his attacker. Just when all hope seems lost, a group of people burst into the warehouse, guns drawn. The attacker is apprehended and the man is saved. As it turns out, the man was a ...

Genre Research - Action

Image
   The common camera angles in action:  Long shot: Artificially shortens the distance between two characters, tricking the viewer into thinking that the characters actually punch each other but the angle just makes it look like that. Wide shot: Used to establish the main characters in the movie but not the area surrounding them.  Low angle: Used to show how intimidating the villain is and how they are above all.  High angle: Used to show when the main hero is in a tough situation and losing, usually fights or big battles.  Establishing shot: Used to show the main area where the heroes/hero battles it out.  Common Costumes, Props, Setting, and Make-up:  Costume: The costumes in action films are what truly establish the character, some people don't even know the characters face but as soon as they see the suit/costume they immediately recognize them.  Props: Props are important in action films, whether it range from Thor's Hammer to Batman's Ba...
