1st. Blog post

Hi, my name is William Carter and today at around 1:10 in the afternoon went to my media studies class for the first time and I was introduced to Ms.Duplessis and all this course has to offer with the syllabus and a short video describing how the course would work and it was a pretty interesting video. I learned a lot. Such as media studies is not just movies in this class it consists of more Such as magazines and video games. A bit more about myself i’m 17. I really like animals I like going outside and looking at stuff I have like five aice classes at one AP class this year so I’m gonna really really tight schedule. I have to try to mange my time well between teachers. I’m excited for what senior has to offer. I’ve heard a lot of good and bad about it. I’m gonna try to do a lot more clubs and sports try out for Basketball and try hard in band. I play drums and you will probably catch me jumping on the table a lot and probably had to tell me to stop because I can’t stop. It just always happens somehow I don’t know enough for my first post for reading and I hope you have a good day.

Peer review

 https://youtu.be/CEkDC6U4KYU?si=Ziw6ViRZCos_m_7L In the opening above I particularly enjoyed the insert shots between the emails. I didn't like the ending, the sudden stop and no real emotion conveyed on the characters face felt off not really making me want to know what happens further. The mis en scene of the opener also didn't feel right. nothing seemed confusing the opener was straight forward and easy to understand. I suggest to make the movie opener better they should make the lighting a little bit darker in the therapy room and change up the ending a little to make the therapist seem a little bit more emotion regarding the girls case.  https://youtu.be/eX32iRuSMvc In the opening film above I liked the subtle music playing in the background it helped me understand the genre of the movie. I didn't really like the lack of depth with the characters especially since its romance genre I would've liked more dialogue. I wasn't really interested in the rest of the mo...

peer review evaluation

This week, my group went over the peer reviews written by our classmates to asses their feedback and determine if there are any suggestions we'd like to implement into our final cut.  Peer review #1 (by Johansen Rey) :https://johansenrey.blogspot.com/2025/04/title-sequence.html  My favorite part of this opening sequence is definitely the ending and the editing done while the surgeon rips his face mask. It reveals a man who is clearly disturbed and this is also accomplished by the tilt shot that shows the blood squirting on him. The editing was great and the grey filter on the actor makes him look psychotic. I didn’t really like the lighting, it was very bright but I believe that the lighting should’ve been a bit darker. If the film had included some lowkey lighting to help add to the ominous atmosphere of the scene, it would have been better. The setting would have also been a bit more unsettling and worrisome for the audience. I do think it looked like an opening sequence as ...

Editing 1

 This week, Janelle began editing the scenes we filmed last week together. Carl-Daniel will be the primary editor because he has the most experience; however, Janelle also helped edit one particular scene to draw more attention to the focus shift within the scene and add realistic sound to it as Janelle had access to a more detailed editing software. The scene was only about 10 seconds long, but it took Janelle a good 2-3 hours to finish getting the sound effects we wanted using a sound-designing software and making the focus shift look more noticeable and seamless. Carl-Daniel also spent a few hours this week piecing together the other shots we took to make them coherent and added transitions to them. We are mostly just using straight cuts in this part of the sequence to speed up the pace and build anticipation for what's happening; however, we also realized while editing that we wanted to film an additional scene with a close-up of a flashlight (making it look like a surgical lig...
