AICE Media Studies

For the Music Video, we decided to go and film at my friend’s residence. This is due to a clubhouse being really close to his house which made it easier to film. Before the filming, I first had to make sure I had all the equipment needed. This was because I was the main actor for the film. I made sure to get swim goggles, athletic clothes, boxing gloves, and some tennis shoes. Getting this equipment was fairly easy as I already had most of them before the project started. I went over the music choice we made before the film, and talked it over with my group mates on a call. This was to ensure we had the proper music choice that would best fit the style of the video. Now as for the acting, I had to prepare myself before the filming. I made sure to practice my butterfly strokes (swimming) as I knew it had to look good for the video. I did this by going into the pool near my house every day and doing laps just consisting of the butterfly stroke. I also had to make sure my cardio was good ...

 Props: For our props we will need a variety of sports equipment, to athletic equipment. These should include boxing gloves, a boxing bag, and weights to lift for the shots. We also may need other props like a treadmill or other workout equipment which we can find at a gym.  Costumes: For this ad, we would have to have 1-2 people acting. Our actors will have to have athletic clothing on. This can include a plain shirt, a workout shirt, and some shorts or jogger pants. With running shoes, for the usage of a treadmill or for running on the track.   Location list: For the film, we will have different filming locations. One of them being a track, so that we could film some shots of running there.   Another location being in a gym, which is useful because we can find most of the workout equipment we need there. We also selected a gym because it is indoors, and it ensures that we can film at any time.  Backup plan: If it rains on the day we want to film on t...

Pitch 1: Believer by Imagine Dragons  I would be interested in filming this pitch. This song goes with the theme we had in mind for this music video. We also thought as a group that the scenes could have a cool impact with each loud clap of the song. Acting out this song would not be difficult either or could be relatively like the other song in terms of scenes. Believer has an upbeat tempo that aligns with the theme of our music video.  Pitch 2: Till I collapse by Eminem  I would also be interested in using this music for the pitch. This song would work well for an idea based on motivation or working out, due to the lyrics in the song. The only problem with this pitch is that we would have to use a clean version since the original has profanity in it. I also feel that it wouldn’t be that difficult to act out a scene while using the song, and it would incorporate well with the music video. This song would also allow for longer scenes, and most likely less editing work, gi...

 I have chosen to work in a group for this project. We have made some changes to the group compared to last time. We have chosen to not work with Lucas Hale Florez for this project. And I also keep in touch with him on a regular basis whether on school or outside of school. The first member of my group is Robert Neagu. Robert is in my group because I recently made friends with him and he said he was decent at editing. So he will be working on that mostly. My next member of my group is Khamaree Jeudy.  Khamaree is one of my good friends and I have spoken to him for a while. I know I will always be in contact with him throughout the project. I also know that meeting with him won't be a problem. I chose these two as my group mates due to their work ethic. I know that they will assist in completing the project, and that they won't slack off. I also believe that they have different qualities such as editing or directing which could help split up the work. I chose to work with a gro...

  Hello, welcome back to my blogs!  My name is David Suciu, I am in the 10 th  grade at Fort Lauderdale Highschool. My birthday is August 31 st , 2009. I am currently 15 years old. My family is from Romania and came to the United States before I was born. I can speak the language and do the traditions from the country. My family came in hopes of better opportunities for me and work. I like to swim and play soccer with my friends after school. I like eating various types of meat and soups. I have a dog named Thor who is a French Bulldog. Other than meats, fruits, and other soups my favorite food of all time must be the crepe. If I ever have spare time, I usually play video games. If I’m not playing video games, I’m usually lying in bed or watching shows. I’ve been to Romania and traveled around Europe, going to countries like Germany and the United Kingdom. As of right now I don’t know what college I want to go too, or if I will move out of Florida. In terms of athletics a...
