Is This Thing On...I'M BACK!


Hello! Welcome back to my blog! My name is Noura Attah, and I am a student at Fort Lauderdale High School. I enjoy playing lacrosse, drawing, reading, and participating in theater. My interest in theater is what initially sparked by interest in Media Studies. Hence, why I am thrilled to be in Media Studies this year because I have always wanted to participate in filmmaking and try directing media. I also consider myself to be very artsy and creative. So, I am already beginning to subconsciously analyze films I watch now after having spent just some time in this class. I am looking forward to using such artistic abilities for something different that I have never done before. I am also curious to see how my talents will be depicted in this project, and hope I am able to get all my ideas across well. It has been a whole summer break since I last posted. It feels so good to be back. 

Last school year I had so much fun in AS level media studies. Thankfully, I passed the exam with a B and got to move forward in the class. So, this year I am continuing the course in A level media studies! I have changed a lot from last year, I have many different interests and hobbies now. I still enjoy watching movies and shows in my free time. I love making and learning about art. This year I am even taking AP art to further my interest in it. I consider music to be essential to my life and I never leave the house without my headphones. I do absolutely everything with music, so I am excited to experiment with different audios during the working process. I have loved figuring out how to use audio in relation to film and directing is something I find interesting. I am a firm believer that sound or music can either downgrade a piece of media or elevate it. My passion for music will also help me be successful throughout this project, because will motivate me to experiment with different sounds. Hence, why I look forward to getting to decide the auditory content that will best fit this project this year and how it will differ from last year.

Production is not for the Weak!

Image
Hello, reader! As always, welcome back to my blog! I am glad you were able to stop by again. There are a few thing that have changed since you were last here. For example, my group and I were only able to film a small portion of our short film yesterday. Today, we were planning on finishing the production, but we are all very busy with a studying for a test in another class. So, none of us really prioritized the short film getting made. However, I do want to finish it soon because I love the editing process that comes after production finishing.  Also, speaking of the editing process, it is very tedious. Since I am usually in charge of the editing of a media project, I am worried for a few reasons. One thing that I am worried about is that I will run out of time and not finish editing the final short film. Since the short film has to not look choppy, I am worried if we do not finish production fast enough and I have to edit a rushed piece of media, it will end up looking messy. So,...
