AICE Media Studies

  First Slide:     The opening scene is to introduce the audience to our product. For this commercial, it will be the Apple Macbook. We will film a student working on a MacBook as a wide shot. This scene is crucial to emphasize the fact that Macbooks are useful to people of all ages and are easy to use in public spaces as well. This scene creates a story for the commercial  Second Slide:   In the second scene, our main goal was to show different tasks the Macbook can accomplish. In this scene, we include the act of using the computer and a student's everyday activities. Since the commercial will be shot at school, the actors will be wearing casual clothing. Editing will incorporate an insert shot of what the student is doing on their Macbook.  Third Slide:   Since the commercial is from a student's perspective, the next scene will show the student placing their laptop into their backpack for easy transportation around the school. This will be a close-up shot of the student and

 

Props: Since my group and I decided to produce an apple Macbook, our main prop will be that laptop. Another prop that will be used in filming is a school backpack or whatever a student chooses to carry their school supplies in.  Costumes: In our commercial, two members of the group will represent our subjects trying to convince you to purchase our item. The actors will be wearing casual and school-appropriate clothing. Schedule: On 9/22/21, our group researched conventions of Macbook commercials.

The assignment of a commercial seemed easy enough when presented to our group but finding the right group members can make or break your team. Like how our teachers explained it to us, we could either work together with our best friends or work in a group to complete the desired goal. I choose to do a combination of both and pick people I know but who would also complete the assignments in an orderly fashion. For the commercial, I along with Jacob Pineiro, Lucia Rodriguez, and Kia Lobann have decided to pull our heads together and work together. We hadn't known each other for a very long time but we sit beside each other in class and generally get along. We bond over things like tv shows or me and Lucia's shared hobby of reading. We are all new to film and media studies and want to do our best to pass the class and AICE exams.

Hello, my name is Willow Rivera and I am currently enrolled as a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. throughout this year, I'll have to lead you into my journey of being not only a Cambridge student but more specify an AICE Media studies student.

I've always been in love with the idea of being a part of something everyone can enjoy regardless of their age.

However, being in this class especially since it's a college-level class will give me a good foundation to work towards that goal. I plan to join a film camp this summer which is just another step
