My names Alvin and I'm 14 attending River City High School as a freshman I would describe myself as being funny, naughty, nice, and strong. My relations to this class is that I have an interest in technology, I like to do browsing on the web and do editing. And I might be interested in being a tv show producer as well

We talked about what story is gonna be about involving us, then we had a camera, place it on a certain angle we want, then we record a one shot story of our story. Then we make the same story on different angles called "Muti-Shot-Story", then we edit them, add music, then you render it. I sorta struggled on editing the first time but I'm making progress and doing better as well.

My most favorite shot captured for my commercial is the two shot because you have a scene where two characters interact with each other and my least favorite shot of all time is the dutch angle shot because is really hard to find the perfect scene to fit this shot as well. Using these shots to make a commercial makes me learn more about using a camera as well.

Reflect on the process of creating a TV Show Pilot: Provide the logline for your original screenplay and connect your costume designs and ad campaign to the story you created... why did you design what you designed based on the story? Tell, too, about the TV Show Pilot you filmed and edited with your group... what was it like to work with a script and what types of shot(s) do you feel brought the show to life most?

I went on google docs and worked on my script on my story that I came up with. I had group and we discussed about which script should we use to film that TV pilot. We ended up using one persons script about "The Bug Bite" where some kid gets bit by a bug and dies and gets buried. We filmed it, edited it and we're done. It feels like we're working for a TV channel or a movie company as well.

What are some of your biggest psychological barriers when it comes to making films? Share your ups and downs of filmmaking on your blog, and how you plan to continue to grow in the second half of the class.

Every time me and my group discuss about what to film and get started, I get worried that I might mess up on a script and failed my acting like number 4 in the article. We all feared that we might fail on something we do and never fix it. But sometimes I have to be confident to to perfect on our next film as well. I need to be brave to act eventually.

Describe your experience shooting this project in the film studio with the added lighting elements. How do you feel the studio time affected your final product quality? Additionally, how did you approach the montage portion of your film. Describe what you chose to cu together and what effect you hope for it to have on your audience.

We film a bunch of shots of a subject as a main character and feature us in a video too. We felt like we should've film a shot outside to fit the atmosphere of a film. We used stock footage from websites to make a montage using superimposition on the main character along with the stock footage. We try whatever we can to make our project perfect as well.

Soon, you'll be pitching an idea for a feature film in this class. What genre do you think you'll focus your creativity on? Why are you drawn to this genre? What do you find most interesting about this genre? What would you hope others would get from your work if you were to create films in this genre?

I would focus on comedy if I work on movies in the future because comedy movies are enjoyable and funny to watch. Most of these films also have a happy ending as well. I hope that people will try not to make upcoming comedy films cliche and think of something original.

Describe your most recent shoot recording a music video. Which song did you choose and what type of concept or mixture of concepts did you capture. Describe what you the final product looks like and how you'd define it in regard to "documentary," "low concept," &/or "high concept." What are you most proud of with this project?

One of our group picked this song called Gucci Gang and had an idea of a high concept video with us doing random stuff most people do in music videos, it turned out cringey but we did it right. Our final project is what its like in rap music videos. I'm most proud of us working together to complete it.
