Pitch time!!!

 A normal day you bump into someone that can change your life, but the fate of your future is out of your hands.

Second time's the charm

 Just like last year, we were given the option to work in groups. Now, the thing is, I would prefer to work by myself. Last year, for the first few projects I had worked with a group. When I was in a group and turned in projects I weren't happy about, I blamed the lack of experience. Yes the lack of experience may have contributed but I think it was because of the difficulties working with a group brought. Finding time to film with all of our different schedules was probably the biggest problem. I liked working with my partners but since they were in their last year of high school, they put in the minimum amount of effort possible. This made my job harder. I was in charge of everything, the editing, the directing, and the filming. I figured that I should just do the last project by myself and take all of the credit. That's what I did. On the last project I worked by myself and I would've been able see out my expectations but the pandemic shut everything down. 

This year, I decided to take a different approach. Instead of stressing myself out my last year of high school, I decided to have a partner. I wanted to give this year my all. In order to do that, I need to think about preventing anything that might spread me out too thin. The final project alone requires a lot of energy. I'm going to put the past behind me and go through this year with a partner. My partner for this year is Jonathon Mungal. Although he might be in a different class period than me, he's still taking the same course I am. I hope I made the right decision in choosing to complete this year with a partner. I think it'll take some weight off of my shoulders. This way, I'll be able to make a project that I'm nothing but proud of. 

Back in business!!!

I'm back! Yes, the rumors are true, we are back in business. Taking the second part of this AICE course is very exciting. Brand new things are coming my way. I was pumped to take the second half AICE media studies because of the sad ending of last year. The pandemic really rained on parade last year. I wasn't able to really fulfill the vision I had for my final project last year. The place where I was filming closed and the actor I needed to film with had to quarantine. It became hard when I was trying to put the scenes I had together. It wouldn't make sense and it didn't match the idea I had in my head. I ended up having to change my storyboard a lot. In the end, I was able to put something together but it wasn't my best work. 

I learned a lot from last year. I know this year will be different. I feel like I'm prepared for anything. If I was able to make my final project with the circumstances the universe threw at me, I can accomplish anything. The final project for this year sounds really interesting. In class today we went over the different aspects to the final project. It's not just a short film. the final project actually has big components. We have to act as a marketing team, a director, and an editor all at the same time. I still have to decide whether or not I want to work alone. I know working in a group will make my life easier. However, working alone allows me to be most creative. Either way I'm super excited for this year. I can't wait to see what I'm capable of doing.
