AICE Media Studies

  Pitch #1: “A film about two ordinary high school girls that live a secret double life as agent spies for the United States of America.” We plan to show two girls first getting ready for high school. We would film these scenes in a group member’s house. We would also have to film scenes of the girls in their spy outfits and performing stunts. This would be hard to do as we would have to use actors who can do stunts. We would also need to use a green screen to show the actresses leaping from building to building.  This may be difficult to set up and require purchasing a green screen.  Pitch #2: “A man tries to provide for his family by stealing from a convenience store, but he ends up getting caught in the act by law enforcement.” We plan to have one person walk into the store. This scene would be hard to recreate in an actual convenience store, so we would need to find a replacement location which would most likely be a group member's house.

 Last year when choosing my group members I worked with my classmates I knew from my online freshman year. This year, two of my group members did not take the class and the other individuals I worked with last year decided to work with different groups. So, I decided to find group members that shared the same love for media as I did. I also tried to work with people in my class that I didn't have a large personal relationship with. I think this will allow for more work to be done and for a better final product. So, Jorge Luis Lopez Jr. is my first new groupmate. Jorge is talented at editing and creative design. Last year he edited all of his group's projects. When talking to him about his favorite project last year he explained that it was the final task, since he could show off his editing skills over a longer period of time. This is exciting to me as I know Jorge will bring lots of ideas and skills to the group over the next year. My next group member is Christian Bundalevski

  Hi, I am Katie Weiss! I am sixteen years old and live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where we are known for oranges and sunshine! I live with my mother, father, and up until recently my older sister. My sister Julia and I were very close, but she recently started her first year of college at Florida State University! I  live right by the beach with my mom and dad now! I am currently a Junior in high school and I am enjoying high school so far! My freshman year was online due to the Corona Virus, so it is nice to be experiencing in-person learning last year. My school offers a variety of different elective classes as well the core subject classes. Before going into high school I was uncertain about my career path, however, I took a design class my freshman year and became interested in learning about the industry of fashion. This led to further interest in other art forms such as film. My older sister, Julia mentioned AICE Media Studies to me, so I decided to look into taking the class.
