“Whittling Away” Short Film Research

-

A. Common Sound in your genre 

A common sound is the ambiance of music playing during the film, they add suspense to the scenes. 
b. Common Mis-En-Scene (CLAMPS) in your genre 

Darker lighting is seen in the first few shots of the girl in the woods and the introduction of the knife adds suspense to the film. The isolated and creepy ambiance that comes with being in the middle of the forest. 
c. Common Editing in your genre 

A lot of close-up shots and jump cuts, as well as editing in echos in scenes. 
d. Example films of your genre 

Whittling Away 
e. What elements of the genre that you like? 

Elements that I like are the dark ambiance and music because I like the feeling of suspense they bring. 
f. What elements of the genre do not appeal to you? 

The ending of this one was a bit underwhelming, and it feels like the suspense ended up building up for nothing.

Titling it Up

 My group is only a few steps away from finishing. Today, I need to add titles to my film. In order to do this, my group set up a meeting date. It was decided that my group meet Friday after school. So I got home and printed out the order of needed titles. Once I got with my group it was decided that each title had to have a name. So my group went one by one, deciding what to put for each title. After this, my group needed to see which title design will be used. In order to do this, each one of my groupmates created their own design. After every one of my groupmates made their design, each one was compared. My group decided that Sofia made the best design. So Sofia used her design to test it out on my Final Task, and it looked great. But before anything was done, I recommend that my group look at www.watchthetitles.com. This website gave me some insight into what my titles should look like. It helped me know where the titles should be on the screen. I also did something that nobody...

Intro Blog- Back Again!

My name is Sean Nehme. I am now a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. This is my introduction blog for AICE Media Studies A-Level. I am taking this class for a multitude of reasons. The first one is for academic credits. This class provides me with another AICE credit towards the AICE diploma. The AICE diploma provides me with great opportunities in the future. These opportunities are something I want to work towards. I already earned three AICE credits in my freshman year. As well as 3 my sophomore year. One of those is the AICE Media Studies AS Level course. This year I plan to get 1 more. Then I would earn my diploma. Also, colleges like to see me follow through with the course by taking the A-level counterpart. Another great reason I am retaking this course is that I loved it last year. It was ever so fun going through the filming process. From formulating pitches and storyboards to filming our establishing shot, and to adding split screens in the final product. I learned so muc...
