Final Task : Starting

Starting the Final Task

      Hello my name is Lucas Illanes and I’ve been asked to reintroduce myself. Im a freshman in Fort Lauderdale High. Im halfway through my first year in high school. High school so far has been pretty good because all the complaints i had through my previous years have gone away and school is pretty chill now. I live with my sister and parents and we are from Chile. We moved back in 2010 and while adapting to the language was a bit a curve I eventually got over it. Everything in my life is going pretty good so right now im just chilling.

      We’ve also been asked to describe what we have learned so far in this class. Overall, my production skills have definitely improved since the commercial. I started off with little experience on filming and editing now i can say my skills have definitely improved. My filming skills have improved from actual experience and just watching movies and lastly learning terms. When watching movies, I now know what type of shots, angles, and sounds im experiencing which is not something i’ve been able to do before. This gives me more ideas when it comes to my filming and portraying my ideas when it comes to a video. When it comes to editing, I now know how to do different cuts and different cuts which help me portray my ideas. Overall knowledge of terms and the understanding of different shots and angles have been something i’ve learned in this class.

    For our final task, we have to create the first 2 minutes of a movie. For my first idea i have an idea of a Hitman who gets a call from a mysterious client but later realized the client tries to screw hum over. The first two minutes will be of the phone call taking place with scenes of later events will happen simultaneously as the phone call progresses. My second movie idea is a Fast and Furious type movie. A new guy moves to Spain and tries to adapt to racing there and meets a rival which he laters races against. My last movie idea is of a horror movie in which of a schizophrenic man who kills his own son because his demons are haunting him. The first two minutes would be of the man dealing with the demons living inside of his brain. Those are my 3 movie ideas for my AICE Media Studies class.
