Who am I

 Hello, my name is Sarah Samuels.  I am a second generation immigrant in the united states and I am 15 years old. I have a mom and a dad who are both from Jamaica. I have 2 siblings. A sister named Sarena, and a brother named Robert Jr. I am in the 10th grade and have 1 dog named Tiara. Tiara is a Maltese terrier and is way to loud for her size. She's 5 years old, turning 6 in April and she's
my favorite pet. I enjoy cooking, baking, and riding my bike. I also like going out with friends and watching new movies who is why I am super exited about this final task. I  think learned a lot over the past few months. By doing the different projects I was able to gain experience using the filming techniques I learned in class. The way I see, my classmates and I were taught the material in class behind our desks and then we were sent into the world to go make use of the skills we learned. It was all very real life applicable. This new project though feels more like a showcase. Because now I get to put all the skills I developed and the information I've accumulated into a project that counts for 50% of my grade. I 'm super stoked to be able to start this project. I feel like I have a completely new understanding of what media studies is now. Now that I have everything I need I'm ready to begin. As someone who naturally enjoys watching movies and seeing their intro slides, this seems like a project I can connect with on a personal level.

    My name is Sarah Samuels, I am 15 years old and attend Fort Lauderdale Highschool. I am a first-generation immigrant with Parents from Jamaica. I have 2 siblings and 1 dog, whom I love very much. I was born September 28, 2006 and am a libra. I enjoy reading, talking with friends, cycling, shopping, and trying new foods. But more than anything I love meeting and talking new people. I feel like it allows me to immerse myself into the thoughts and feelings of the people around me. My favorite color is black because it is a staple in everything. My favorite food is French fries (contrary to popular belief). I have dreams to be a doctor, more specifically an orthopedic surgeon. I love the idea of being able to help people through surgery and scientific knowledge. My favorite subject is math and science. Math because I enjoy plugging in formulas. Though I also enjoy science I am nowhere near good at it. I hope to one day be able to major in biology to achieve my dreams and reap ...

SO MUCH WALKING!

Image
  Today, Chris and I went to work on filming our commercial for Nike shoes. First, we went out to the softball field behind building 17 to film some shots. These shots consisted of him (he was wearing the Nike shoes) performing different drills and routines with the feet, such as jogging in place, side hopping, and foot and leg stretches. I used my camera to film these shots, focusing on his feet in order to emphasize the shoes. The shots of Chris doing these exercises are going to be in a compilation of shots near the end of the commercial. When we finished these shots, we walked over to towards the track and football field. As we walked, I recorded audio of my footsteps in the grass to use in the video. When we arrived at the track, we set our bags down and made our way down to where the starting line was. Then, I filmed Chris getting in a starting position and then breaking into a sprint. Again, we made sure to focus heavily on the shoes. I then had him walk through the gra...

Filming AGAIN!

Image
 We're at it again!. today we filmed once more. except unlike last time we actually went to Mac's house. Mac told me and the actors that she has two bedrooms we could use to film the different scenes and certain shots. Once we reached Mac's house we went straight to her guest bedroom and began filming backwards. rather than filming the scenes chronologically like how they were listed in the story board and script. We worked backwards filming the scenes that had high priority. Dream wasn't able to stay long unlike me and Paulanka because her mom had a limited schedule and had to pick her up at 5. school had let out around 3 which barely gave us 2 hours to film. we had to make the most of our time especially since the deadline was fast approaching. we began filming the scene where dream walks into her house and goes to her bedroom. This was actually one of the last scenes but it was the only one that featured just dream alone. The scene portrayed her walking up to her bed...
