Genre Blog: The Final Decision 2

    

Greetings and Salutations!

Welcome to Media TL;DR the series where I break down my greatest projects so you can easily dive in and understand my original ideas. I'm your host Jaydon Smith! And Today's topic is about my final decision for this movie genre.

So far, my group and I have settled on the pitch for the opening sequence project, and have researched some genres related to our production. It's now time to make a decision on what genre our film falls under.

Final Genre!

After reviewing the three genres, we've considered that our film falls under... *commence drumroll*

COMEDY!!

We landed on the comedy genre, as our pitch brought us much joy and laughter, so how selfish would it be to keep this laughter to ourselves! So we shall bring this happy feeling to the world!

That's all for now! Short blog today. For the next few blogs, my group and I will be reviewing short films that fit this genre in some way.

           

That's All!

That's it for this Production Blog everyone. I hope I made at least most of my descriptions and intentions clear, as the decision to choose a genre is an important one. Thank you for reading! And until next time, stay cool and attractive!

Group Blog: Our Splendid Little Pitch

   

Greetings and Salutations!

Welcome to Media TL;DR the series where I break down my greatest projects so you can easily dive in and understand my original ideas. I'm your host Jaydon Smith! And Today's topic is about the Pitch for My Short Film.

What is a Pitch?

So for A level, we have the same assignment which requires us to make a "Pitch" blog.  In case you've forgotten, or didn't know, a Pitch is a general idea of what the movie is going to consist of. For example, a pitch for the Avengers movie would be "Super Hero Movie Fighting Evil." It doesn't really dive into the actual plot, it just gives you an idea of what to expect. And now, I'll present our pitch to you.

Pitch #1

Our first pitch was the idea of two characters struggling to get their childhood friend a present.

Pitch #2

Our second pitch was the idea of a character trying to persuade another character to stop being superstitious whilst also dodging his bad luck.

Our Final Decision

We liked the first pitch, as it was an easy way to include all of us in the film. Additionally, this would be a relatable topic to all those with friends. However, it would be difficult to think about how to properly create a fun plot alongside it. We just inferred that it was too simple. However, we've decided to lock on with our second pitch, the superstitious surprise. We can make some fun continuous shots and so many superstitions to experiment with. So in conclusion! We will be going with Pitch #2!

That's All!

That's it for this Production Blog everyone. I hope I made at least most of my descriptions and intentions clear, as the decision to keep this song is an important one. Thank you for reading! And until next time, stay cool and attractive!

Group Blog: A Step Up

   

Greetings and Salutations!

Welcome to Media TL;DR the series where I break down my greatest projects so you can easily dive in and understand my original ideas. I'm your host Jaydon Smith! And Today's topic is The Group Blog for my 5 Minute Film.

Who am I with?

Because I had surpassed my particular situation at this school during my Final Task, as of now, the workforce will not just consist of me, myself, and I. That's right, I'm working not just with a partner, but I'm working with a group. 

For those unfamiliar with my previous projects, you may be asking, "So why?" Well, as I stated in an old blog, I have many contacts I know who could help me, right "Once again, this proves most definitely true. But you may also remember from my previous group blog that "unfortunately, at this school, there is one fatal flaw when it comes to my social life: I live lightyears away from school. Which means I seldom meet with anyone outside of school." So, how come I'm working in a group again?" The answer is a lot more blunt than you'd expect: I simply can not do this alone. So, I will be working with two surprise individuals. You haven't met 'em yet, you've haven't had the chance! Cause they've been gaining mass as the ambassador of France! Introducing my two partners: Alexandra Soto and An-Alysse McComie-Waterman! For future reference, I will be referring to them as Mac and Leash, respectively.

What is my project this time?

My project this time is a 5 five-minute film that's fully wrapped with a beginning middle, and end! So it's as simple as that!. I won't reveal any details about the contents just yet, because that will be revealed in the super cool Pitch Blog! 

That's All!

That's it for this Group Blog everyone! I hope you understand why I'm working in a group now, and I hope you enjoy the movie I'll make! Thank you for reading! And until next time, stay cool and attractive.

Intro Blog: Guess Who Is Back!

I have returned!

Greetings and Salutations everyone! After 10 long (dog) years I have returned back to Media Studies and I'm no longer an AS Leveler! I've reached A Level Status. My level may have changed but what still remains is that this is Media TL;DR! The series where I break down my greatest projects so you can easily dive in and understand my original ideas. I'm your host Jaydon Smith! And I'm going to reintroduce myself just in case you guys forgot who I was!

What I do

I am ever so still a mere high schooler at Fort Lauderdale High School, and I hail all the way from Coral Springs! I've made a commercial showcasing some of my hobbies. The information about my art preferences is still the same:

I really enjoy drawing; both traditionally and digitally, though when I draw traditionally, I often trace my work on digital software afterward. I used to draw in a more humanoid and Japanese animation-esque style but have transitioned to a more cartoony style. The two of these pictures were drawings I've made of a few of my close friends. I originally drew both of them on paper, allowing my brain to run free; experimenting with certain shapes and poses. After that, I went on my digital drawing app to trace and color this drawing. The app I prefer is called Ibis Paint. After lots of time, I can confidently say that I truly enjoyed drawing them quite a lot!

Another activity I enjoy is Origami, which is a Japanese art of folding paper into fun and decorative shapes or figures. I usually make origami as birthday presents for people that I care about. I've made creatures ranging from simple birds and fish to cute dragons and cats! There are some folds that I find difficult, but I enjoy the challenge! Even after all this time, this still remains true ha!

What now?

I'm sure my more engaged viewers have viewed my older films, like my commercial, by now, and in those films, you can see my growth, all the way to my film introduction.

So you may be thinking, what am I doing now? I'm ending it off with a BANG, one last video, one last time. I'll be making... a full film.

A wrap

This concludes my re-introduction. I've listed some things that I like and my growth from my commercial as I showcased my craft. I would like to again thank every last one of you viewers, you made it all possible and I'm so glad to be back! I'll see you next time in my Group Blog! Where I showcase the party for this project. So until then, it's a pleasure to be back, and stay cool and attractive y'all!
