An Adventure in Film

With it being my first time really diving into film, editing, and recording, I'll admit that I was a bit skeptical at first. However, once I got my hands on the art that is production, I couldn't be stopped. I had a blast both recording my own work and starring in the works of my peers. The plot, the filming, the lighting- it was all fascinating! I had an extremely positive experience working on my first film, and I look forward to future productions in this class!

This first shot is an establishing shot, which allows the viewer to envision the location and mood.

This is a full shot, showing Kiley's full body from head to toe. I had a lot of fun messing around with the lighting during this shot as well.

Here is a medium shot, showing Kiley from only the knees up.

This is a tight shot, though there are some trees and a flash of sunlight peeking through, Cooper's beautiful face takes up nearly all of the screen.

Here is an over-the-shoulder shot, depicting Cooper conversing with Kiley.

Because Cooper ran straight into the camera, this is a head-on shot.

Here is a high-angle shot (often confused with an eye-level shot, because I am much taller than Cooper.)

Here is a cameo shot of Kiley drinking her iced coffee.

Here is a close-up, showing only Erin's face.

Here is a medium long shot, showing Kiley falling.

Lastly, a reaction shot, where Cooper reacts to something Kiley just said or did.

My Goals in AICE Media and Why I Joined This Class

      Originally, I joined AICE Media Studies because the topic stuck out to me and I was interested in the idea of a new AICE class at Lely. After looking further into the course material on the Cambridge website, I realized that the class would be extremely fun, thought-provoking, and unique in comparison to previous classes I have taken. 
    Freshman year, I completed Film I at my old school, which I have always found interesting. Over the years, I have thanked myself for completing a class where I was able to learn such a plethora of information. I hope to have the same satisfaction at the end of my senior year and at the completion of this class.
