AICE Media Studies

  Bedlam is much more than a film, it had a purpose. Our film was about schizophrenia, a common issue some may have. However, it’s not spoken about enough which we thought was unfair. Mental illnesses are known about, and briefly talked about. But no one really tries to understand it. My group and I are interested in mental health, as we have all done something surrounding that topic. Whether that is experiencing it or joining groups that are based off mental health we all have something that connects us to it. So for our film we wanted to bring attention to how a person may feel with a mental illness. We wanted our audience to feel it for themselves. We did this by having in our opening scene a point of view from the main character and a jump cut to one of those newtons cradles and the main character sleeping. In the point of view the vision was blurry as she walked up to the room she was sleeping in. The second she opens the door her eyes open. This opening was to show that she has n

I have learned more from my group members, the field of media, mental illnesses, and over all how far our creativity can go. Our film isn't the best out there but it definitely is a good one especially with the limitation we had. I am proud of my group because somehow we pulled it together. Everyone did their parts in the project. We all played to our strengths to make this happen which was honestly the best decision when dividing up the work. We did have to have a lot of trust in one another. Bu

Welcome back!!!! So for our film package we need to make the film, of course, a website and a post card. I am in charge of the website as I mentioned before. Which I have been working on for the past week. I'm not going to lie it was a little difficult trying to figure out how to make a website because I am so bad at technology and what not. However, I did have time to learn somewhat how to do it. I ended up using a website to make my website. Ironic but it is working so far. I started by using a template. At first I just did the home page by adding the festivals, some info, and forms to RSVP for the festivals. I also added a menu which I thought would direct people to the sections on the home page, however, only the subscribe button directs people to the bottom of the page. I found this out when I did a preview of the website. I pressed all of the buttons and realized the about and booking sections to you to complete different pages. I know that websites do that so don't think

 So my other group members realized that their portions are not adding up in the film. So we are filming again. However, we are changing the story a bit because our main character works a lot. And compared to the camera person and me (the best friend) our schedules add up more. So we will add more filler scenes of the best friends to make up for the time we can't have the main character. As of today though my other group member and I went to film at barnes and nobles for the cafe scene. We changed it to just me meeting up with the main character but getting stood up so I texted her, called her, waited for her, etc. This will continue the confusion and waste time in our film. This took us a few tries because I kept getting nervous but we got it done. Also, last year I filmed my music video from AS level at barnes and nobles and now here I am again. Anyways back to what is important. I didn't got to school today so I met up at Barnes & Nobles with them. I got there a little e
