AICE Media Studies- Lessons learned

 

Question 1. How does your product use or Challege conventions and how does it social groups or issues

The finish product was directed towards a certain audience. Specifically injured athletes are the only ones that can relate to what's being seen it the video. The targeted audience at the end of the day is anyone that understands sports. Although It doesn’t really go with Stereotypical conventions and challenged rap video with the guns the guys sagging there pants telling their hoodlum story. However it still tells a story. One of an athlete recovering his pride, dream, and health. There isnt a full storyline due to the limited time in a music video.

Question 2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributive as a real media text?
The story in the music video is really something that happens in real life all the time to athletes. Especially in school because everyone is fighting to get to the top. The “Offer” at the end of the video looks like a real one.  The story line connects with the words as well so you can make connections with the lyrics to what's happening in the video. If I saw this on social media, I personally would have believed it fully 100%. My knowledge about angles and editing has been enlightened.

Question 3. How did your production skill develop throughout this project?
If anything improved during this project, it was my acting. I’ve never acted before in a video for real. With the help of Zanes directing I was able to develop some kind of acting sense. This gave me the opportunity to even though I was doing it all injured. My good friends make a way. They were very supportive and helpful through my time of healing I still am but moving a better rate.   

Question 4. How did you integrate technologies- software, hardware and online- in this project?
In the project since I’m the actor and all I was seen on the laptop looking for a new route "jobs and schools” I know Zane had his equipment I don’t really know the name of anything but the camera Zane was able to get some good shots and the finishing product came out perfect. Zane uses this editing app on his laptop. It looks kind of confusing but he knows how to work it so it all works out in the end. I personally used my knowledge of what i had to acting and winged it and let my groupmates guide my hand.

AICE Media Studies- Starting to look bright

 My first day back was long. I was already in enough pain as it is sitting down but now I have to move class to class. The thin that probably bothers me the most are the people. Everyone jokes about it.  I already started having negative thoughts. The following day someone took my crutches and ran, I eventually got them back. All my teachers were more or less understanding. this allows me to attack my work pile at a reasonable pace. So it relieves stress, However this doesn't mean I'm not though. I fear I wont be able to catch up and let everyone down. I've been trying my best to record clips of people doing the motion. I ended up with about 33 different clips. Then sadly we came to an agreement that we should change the format that the video should be in. So the that means the 33 clips are useless at this point. So the decision that was made was that all of apple products were included. instead of  just being an iPhone and people saying hello. This is a much better choic...

AICE Media Studies-How things are going

  I’m back again with some fulfilling news. With spring break around the corner we have a lot to get done. However we have plenty of time to get the work done. Since my surgery on my knee I have made a lot of progress with walking in doing other things that will help with my mobility in the film. Hopefully by the time Zane Kevin Jackson and I are ready to film I could be used to my fullest potential so we don’t have any problems when filming. Jackson has been busy with baseball because baseball season is in full swing now so he doesn’t have a lot of time to work or communicate with the rest of the group. However we figured out a way to communicate in between practices and games so there won’t be any issues when it comes time to film. Zane has also had a very busy schedule with football practice and homework from other classes. Kevin has been loaded with math work to the point where his bag is overflowing with papers. However his annihilated most of his work and has made-up a lo...
