Why I chose AICE Media Studies

 After taking TV Production, which I had a lot of fun in, I decided to take AICE Media because it will help me with my AICE diploma and Mrs. Henderson is a very laid back teacher. I also want to take the class because it might help me better appreciate the plethora of TV and movies I already watch.

Me and my friends, Matthew, and Max started filming last week Saturday. After we decided to start filming at Max's house we recorded most of the important takes for the majority of the opening and I'm not sure if we need to record again this week.

Film viewing practice essay: Agent Carter (2013)

  In the first 5 minutes of the 2013 Marvel One-Shot short film “Agent Carter” directed by Louis D’Esposito many elements of film are used to help keep the audience hooked to the movie and the use of things such as well edited sound, mise-en-scene, and dynamic camera angles help convey a feeling of intrigue in who Peggy is as a character and what her connection to Steve (Captain America) is. The movie starts with Peggy talking to Steve discussing over radio if there’s enough time for Peggy to scout out a safe sight for Steve to land his what appears to be some sort of aircraft. Steve then tells Peggy that there’s no need for her to go through the effort to save him and that this is Steve’s choice. Throughout this exchange the low lighting helps the audience understand that what is happening is a very serious matter of Peggy about to lose the love of her life. There are also cuts where the camera alternates between Peggy and Steve and at one point where the camera focuses on Steve...
