(2) A syllabus and class reflection

 

Hey, If you read the last blog, you know this is for a course on media so I'm going to be discussing the class and how I feel about it simply.


Positives

I am looking forward to this course on media as I find the subject to be engaging, I mean who doesn't enjoy making creative content, I love it. Another reason would be just the freedom to be creative and work with social technology. Besides that I love making entertaining and engaging content for people, it's very enjoyable seeing people laugh or smile because of an edit, video, or work I've done.

Less Positives

Although that isn't to say I expect it to be completely enjoyable or cozy. I'm a little nervous about having to be in groups with people and collaborate I don't enjoy the stress of having people potentially rely on me. The possibility of having to edit videos or images also makes me nervous, I've done it before and I know what a tedious and arduous thing it can, so I hope it isn't as complex as what I had been doing. I am also not the best at photography, my brother has told me on many occasions how horrible I am at taking pictures, I suppose I don't have an eye for picture perfect photos, just funny ones.

So Basically

Putting aside all the excitement and doubts I have for this course I would hope that this course allows me to gain profound knowledge of relevant media techniques that I will be able to remember and possibly use for myself personally. I do take a physical class as well and from that experience I can say the class is living up to my expectations thus far with none of the negatives and I'm greatly enjoying it!

(50) The real deal, really?! Feature Story Interview

  Hey guys welcome to another blog, so after the photoshoots I conducted an interview with Tyrone for our feature story, he gave my great answers to my questions. The questions I had for him were more specific as they were meant for him and I gave him some about men's fashion since he is a man and happens to also like fashion in some sense. So let's get into the responses- -Start- Q 1. Alright Tyrone what's good bro, so what do you know about men's fashion? A. I actually know a lot, I like to post my drip on social media, and if I'm being honest I wanna try to be a model some time in the future Q 2.  That's cool, so what do you do on a more day to day basis? A. Man I'm hustling out here, I sell clothes online, work at an airport, and I exercise just about every other day, bring them girls back home you know, haha Q 3. So Tyrone, how would you describe yourself as a person? A. You see a lot of ***** out here are blessed, but me man, nah, I had work harder tha...

(9) Let's talk...Mise-en-scene

Hey today we're gonna learn about...MISE-EN-SCENE!! But what is Mise-en-scene? Simply put Mise-en-scene is literally "placing on stage" in French; all the elements that appear on camera and their arrangement. So everything from the makeup that goes into a scene to how the scene is setup. Alrighty so let me get into each of the features for you to give you a better understanding of everything that Mise-en-scene encompasses. Production design: Production designers are the people responsible for the visual concepts of a film, such as television or theater production. They work closely with the director and producer while they design a style for the elements incorporated in a film. Location: The location of a film sets the mood and supports the action. For example, in a abandoned McDonalds the location would give you suspicion and a horror mood. Studio: A film studio is either a entertainment company or a motion picture company. These companies have their own privately studio...

(57) He will try- Double Page Spread Draft

  Welcome, welcome, WELCOME!! Oh boy do I got a surprise for you! As promised I have made a draft for my double page spread, not one, not two, but three. There were just so many ideas in my head that I had to show you some of them, here check it out! This was the first version, I thought it was pretty good, but I felt there were some flaws or design choices that could've made it better, so I did a little redesign just to see if it would look better, now let's see if it did- This is the second version looks awesome to me, I felt it addressed some of the problems with the first, and the color might fit in better with our overall magazine, but let's try these fixes on the black and white version- Honestly I think I like this version a lot more, it's just so unique and makes for an awesome double page spread, some more refinements will need to be done, but we have a good idea for our final version now. Also you may have noticed the feature story in the double page spread is...
