Final Project Script

-

 Girl, Stella, writing a bunch of letters in her bedroom, variations of the same "Dear Coraline, I wish I could tell you how much you mean to me" and "Dear Coraline, why did you have to go away when things were so good." These are read in an internal monologue format.

Stella sighs, looking at the letters, and then it cuts to a flashback.

FLASHBACK:

Stella and Coraline laugh on the swings, and jump around at the park giggling and smiling.

PRESENT:

Stella tosses the letters into a pile and grabs her backpack, going down the stairs. She pauses listening to a fight behind a cracked door.

MOM: WE CAN'T JUST LET HER THROW EVERYTHING AWAY BECAUSE OF THIS, SHE HAS TO START HEALING.

DAD: YOU CAN'T EXPECT HER JUST TO FORGET HER SISTER.

MOM: You know thats not what I meant.

Stella continues downstairs, hearing a car honk, she goes out the front door.

JULIA: Come on Stella, let's go!

Julia, in her car, plays music loudly. Stella walks around and gets in the car, and she starts to smile when she is there. They start driving to school.

STELLA: Julia, you gotta turn it down a little bit. You're making me go deaf.

Julia sings over her, and then drives past the school.

STELLA: Why are you driving past school? We have class in 10 minutes.

JULIA: We aren't going today Stella. We need to get out of this routine, and you can't just stop living. You have so much left to see, and we are going to start right now.

Julia turns the music back up, smiles at Stella.

STELLA: in her head, *Things haven't been the same since what happened to Caroline, but maybe things could get better.*

Film Editing Project

-
https://youtu.be/l0OWJRMtfC8 The video above is me and my friend Ava's film editing project. In doing this project, Ava and I had to plan out and execute six edits/transitions. When we began the project, we looked at the list of transitions and chose the six that seemed like the most fun to record. These included a freeze frame, cutting on action, flashback, shot/reverse shot, match cut, and fade out. We then went out to record each one and the ideas just came to us as we went. In doing this, we learned the "behind the scenes" of crafting each type of editing technique. After each clip was recorded, we had to edit them. We had to make sure we were piecing them together in a sensible way. This portion of the project helped us further develop our editing skills. I'd say the hardest aspect of the video was editing the match cut, as the shots had to go together smoothly. Throughout the project, Ava and I shared the same roles, as they weren't assigned. We traded off t...

  Me and my classmate Ava were given the task of choosing a prompt , and then planning, shooting, and editing a photograph to portray this prompt. The prompt we chose was “ y ou are struggling to keep up in dance class.” To respond to this prompt, we planned to take a photo of me doing a dance move poorly , with my dance classmates behind me doing it perfectly . We developed this sketc h :   Then, we put this planning into effect and took our photo:   Edited/Final version:       There was a lot of preparation that went into taking these photos in terms of design and composition:     DESIGN:   -Lighting:   When taking the photo, we made sure there was enough light to be able to see everybody’s facial expressions and other important details . We had a bit of trial and error when taking the photo and had to chang e where in the studio we took it depending on where lighting was best. After the photo was taken, we   used editing...

Media Reflection #4

           I do feel that it is a filmmaker's responsibility to  represent  groups of people correctly.  That is u nless they are making a clear statement and  representing  groups unfairly on purpose  to show that it is wrong . This is because movies and shows are often perceived as  an alternate  reality. If viewers see certain groups of people  having improper  represent ation,  whether that is based on their gender, race, or an other  demographic , it will be taken as discrimination or oppression of sorts,  and  rightfully so.    In the recent past, I would say filmmakers have done a n increasingly  better job at  representing   different groups  fairly. However, societally,  there are still steps to be taken in the fight against misogyny, racism, etc. We can see certain stereotypes embedded in films from not too long ago, representing women as an ob...
