The Beginning of The Final Task

     Today we are going to begin our final task. But first I’m going to tell you a little bit more about myself. My name is Paige and I go to Fort Lauderdale High School. I am a freshman and we are more than halfway through the year. I play volleyball for the school as well as for a club team. I am also involved in many clubs and am on the board a non-profit organization. I am in the Cambridge program at my school, which is why I am in Aice Media Studies. It is one of my favorite classes because I really liked making a commercial and music video. My group for our final task includes, me, Roscoe, Zeke and Elijah. I was with this group for our commercial, but for the music video it was just me and Roscoe. We decided that it turned out better when all four of us worked together so that is what we decided to do.

      I have learned a lot from the last two projects. The commercial taught me about time management and working well with a group. It was hard because my group mates would often procrastinate. The music video went smoothly. We had lots of actors and our storyboard was very good. However the storyline could of been better and the final product was not as good as it could of been. I learned a lot about how to work with technology throughout both of these projects. By the second project I learned to use iMovie and my own technology. The school provided editing system, Pinacle Studios is very hard to work with. The computers at school are very old so they crash a lot and take a long time to turn on. 

      For our final project we have come up with three pitches. A pitch is a Hollywood term for a film idea described in less than 25 words. We came up with about 5 ideas collectively but decided these were the best three. These are our three pitches:

1. Main character wakes up to find out that he is a ghost. He goes on a journey to find out how he died. 

2. Main characters find themselves involved in some dangerous business and go on trying to escape their captures and keep themselves from life in a cell. 

3. A friendly paintball game turns into deadly situation once all of the paintballs become toxic. Players go on a quest to save their teammates.
