 I decided to work alongside my dear friend Jordyn. Jordyn and I have been good friends since freshman year. We met in math class and got along pretty well. Despite her being a Leo and me being a Scorpio. Apparently our signs don't get along because they both want to take charge. We have been proving them wrong since 2019! We both hate math and share the same beliefs. Even though she's in the pre law program, she wants to be a pharmacist. She's Jamaican but for some reason I used to think she was Bahamian. Our middle schools were rivals, which I find so funny. She went to Parkways and I went to William Dandy. She's athletic and super smart so I know I'll have to keep up which pushes me to work harder! Jordyn is really funny so there's never a dull moment with her. The only thing I will say is that we both kind of suck at editing and stuff but hopefully we can both learn and help each other out. We both came into media because we heard its an interesting class and decided to give it a try. So far we kind of like it! One thing about Jordyn is that she will get her work done! She'll work day and night to get her well deserved grades. We wanted to work together because we knew we would have fun and get it done. We don't know that many people in the class so it's hard to tell how they work.

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Image
  The first film was produced in 2005 and is a short film. 9 is a 2005 computer animated science fiction short film created by Shane Acker as a student project at the UCLA Animation Workshop. Tim Burton saw the film and later produced a feature-length adaptation also titled 9 in 2009, directed by Acker and distributed by Focus Features. 9 is a rag doll who appears to be the last of his kind, living in the ruins of a decaying, post-apocalyptic Earth. Hunting 9 is the Cat Beast, a mechanical monster wearing a cat's skull for a head. It appears to be guided by a small glowing talisman which it holds in its claws. 9 (the full film) is also a computer-animated science film directed by Shane Acker, written by Pamela Pettler and produced by Jim Lemley, Tim Burton, and Dana Ginsburg.  A scientist is ordered by his dictator to create a robot in the apparent name of progress, and so the scientist creates the B.R.A.I.N., a highly intelligent robot. The dictator seizes it upon its ap...

Story Board

Image
   During this class period, my partner and I set up our storyboard for our Crocs commercial. We decided on how the commercial would be set up first and then how we would set up the storyboard that will coordinate with our commercial. In our first box, we have the actress holding a pair of crocs to show the jibbitz/gems off that decorate the crocs. In our second box, the actor is seen putting on their crocs while they are sitting on a bench located in the school. The third box shows the actor walking with the crocs on in both sports and comfortable mode. After the shoes are shown in both of the different wearable modes, the cameraman or woman will zoom into the crocs, showing the different angles of the shoes. Finally, our last box/part of our commercial will include the actors dancing as the crocs slogan comes on the scene concluding our commercial. Since my partner and I don't have a plethora of different color crocs, during the time of recording if anyone else with a pair o...

Genre Research: Big Catch

Image
  When looking for comedy short films on the websites given, we were unable to find any pertaining to comedy My team and I decided that it would be best to just look for one on Youtube rather than struggling to find one on the websites. Before going to Youtube we checked the regular internet where we mainly found films in our genre but they were full length. The first film we found on Youtube was "Big Catch." This interested us first because of the thumbnail. The thumbnail for this short was a picture of a man sitting with headphones and a shark behind him smiling. Seeing this, we automatically assumed that the shark would be trying to eat this man, but we did not know how it planned on going about it. In this film, there is no dialogue but there is diegetic sound where we can hear the birds making noise, the squeaking of the the shark on the deck, and the shark screaming as he realizes he is about to be thrown back into the ocean. Since this was an animated film, a lot of ed...
