Lizette Nieves AICE Media Studies Final Project

I worked with Reese Gardner for the film editing assignment. For the filming part of our assignment I was the one that filmed our project. Reese's role was acting and editing the project. I filmed on Sunday, Dec 13, she edited it later that day and we uploaded the final product on Thursday, Dec 17. This assignment as a whole was not difficult, we are new to filming and editing and we are finding it very fun. During this assignment we worked with different types of editing and using our knowledge on filming from past lessons. Working hands-on really gave me a better understanding of what we learned in class. I am very excited to use all my knowledge I've learned in my final project for the class.

So after crying from having no idea what I'm going to do: I texted my sister. I asked her if she could be the main character in my movie, then she asked so many questions. Of course I ended up crying again because I was so lost on what I wanted to do. Finally, my sister agreed. I also asked a family friend if I can use their daughter, Bailey, to be in my film because she looks the most like my sister. My final project is going to have a sad tone. It will be about growing up and growing out of your childhood. My main character, played by Hailey, and her younger self, played by Bailey. The establishing shot will be of a child running through a field, playing with a dog, being...
