AICE Media Studies

 Here are my film pitches - An alien seeks to make friends on their new planet with the support of their one non-alien friend. They debate going up to a group of strangers to make friends. - A person resents their primary caregiver and wishes for something different, only to subconsciously seek out people just like their caregiver, furthering a cycle. Whether they continue or break the cycle is up to the audience.  -  A person is kind of a pushover, they will end up saying yes, or just complying to most things, never looking out for their own self interest. They learn to be selfish, for the better.  I can't help be the most compelled by the first one, my very first idea. I really like all the others, but I can't imagine them living up to my vision, whereas I think I could accomplish the first idea I pitched.

I can choose the story and genre for myself. The music can be to my taste, as can all the shots. It also completely eliminates the scheduling issue. Well, not completely, as I need another actor if not a few. However, I can schedule the actors according to me, since they aren't working behind the s

 My name is Nicole Hernandez. I'm a student at Fort Lauderdale High, and I'm back, excited to be starting A level Media Studies. I took AS Level Media Studies last year. I really like movies so I'm glad to be continuing a class that studies them. Last year, I created a few projects. This year, I will be doing just the one. I will create a short film in its entirety. I will use the skills I learned last year and continue to research to create my film. I will update my journey throughout several blog. It will work much like it did last year, with research and storyboard updates but the blogs will differ a little more, since there is more to get done in  a five minute film than just an intro to a film like I did last year.  I don't know what my final exam is going to look like quite yet. I do know I will be graded differently in terms of the project, since there is just the one project to get done. Regardless of whether or not I'm writing an essay for A level, I brushe
