Intro Blog

   



Hello my name is Kadia Khan and I am 15 years old. I am in the 11th grade and about to turn 16 on October 7th. I am taking this class to learn about the types of things that happen in the media. I was born in Jamaica and I came to the U.S. in 2011. I have a love for track ever since l was young in primary school. I recently joined track at Fort Lauderdale High in 10th grade and I love it. It was hard at first because I have anxiety and it definitely acts up when I’m around a huge group of people or having to do something at school. Overall, I love running, it’s a passion of mine. Growing up in Jamaica was way different from growing up in the U.S. I had to adjust to moving to a new country and changing my accent because I would speak patwa. The accent was hard to lose at first but now it is completely gone and I do miss it. I am looking forward to going to college for nursing and earning my degrees. I want a career as an anesthesiologist or an architect. I have always had a passion for helping people so I’ve always wanted a career that involves that. I want to attend a college in New York or another state. I also want to pursue my career in New York. I fell in love with the city ever since I’ve visited my brother there. I am obsessed with having good grades but at times it can be too much but I find a way to deal with it in the end. School can be a stressful thing to deal with at times especially when you have other things to worry about. I always find a way to stay organized through the stress. I am always reminding myself that I am doing all this for my family and that is what keeps me motivated. This is me, Kadia Khan.

Filming Blog for Music Video

Image
     My group and I have not decided when to edit our video yet. Looking back on the filming day it was very fun. I am both sad and relieved about the filming. I feel this way because it was really fun to work with my group but I am relieved we got it done. I had a great time filming especially because we are all friends. We were all in contact and started to plan everything immediately. I feel like filming is better than editing for us because we can't meet up this time to edit. It was a little hectic because the storyboard was not really matching up with our scenes. In the end, we found a way to make it work because we were not going to leave until it did. Luckily, in the end, before the sunset we got all our shots done. I am grateful to be able to work with them because they really know how to get work done. We have talked before about working together for the commercial but we had already paired up. This time we actually got to work together and it was very easy to se...

Genre Research: Action & Thriller

The action and thriller genres have many similarities and differences, especially when it relates to CLAMPS. Action Films Action films tend to use different aspects of lighting such as, three-point, low key, natural, and high key lighting. Like thriller films, action movies contain excessive use of make-up and costumes to make the movie seem and realistic as possible. Not to mention, directors use make-up and costumes to separate normal and abnormal characters within the film. In action movies low-key, high-key, natural, and three-point lighting are commonly used during film. During the editing process, editors of action films are more likely to use graphic and action matches, slow motion effects, and plenty visual effects. Especially in movies like Spiderman, Avengers, and Iron Man. As for camera angles action movies are usually seen with using aerial shots, high angles, low angles, and canted (Dutch) angles. Common camera movements would be pan, tilt, dolly, and crane. Moving on,...

Planning Blog: Scripts

  Writing the scripts was easy for our group.  Our group already had ideas in mind for what we wanted in our film and it all came down to write these ideas in a script.  To create the script our group has used PowerPoint.  Using PowerPoint has made our  scripts  easier  to  read for the group and for the actors.  We successfully made t he  shooting script  go hand in hand  with the sound and dialogue script . The scripts are always very descriptive when it comes to sound, lighting, camera shots, and camera movements.  Not to mention, that there is enough dialogue to keep the movie scenes mysterious and  intimidating.  All that’s left is to film and edit using the scripts and storyboard as our guide.   One of the group members  Anayah  oversaw writing the two scripts, however, everyone pitched in to throw in their own ideas. For example,  Kadia came up with the last scene in the opening and...
