Group Blog (The second half!)

Now, the important part.. who am i going to work with? I haven’t quite decided. It’s a tricky process, and it’s a bit hard to decide because you may have too much or too little. I think i’m going to work alone for this project and see how things smooth out. Why? I think having myself to rely on and being solely responsible is important. I want my work to be a product of the effort I put into it. As much as i would need other people for potential actors, which is why i’m considering 1 or 2 more teammates, I am mostly set on working myself. I really want to see the creative things i can come up with when there’s no one else to lean on. It’s something that can really be produced by me. I want to make myself proud, kind of like one of those indie films. Those are very creative and intricate, and i find it amazing how one single person can manage so much. It’s very inspiring. Will it be hard work? I don’t know, but it’ll definitely be an experience worth keeping. For now though, i do intend to work with myself. I’m experienced in editing too, so maybe i can make up for my cinematic shortcomings with better editing? It’ll be great directing, storyboarding, and maybe even acting? (if i can figure out how to do that by myself...) Regardless of what the future has to come regarding my film, i still want to make an enjoyable, cinematic film that is a product of my own hard work. I’m definitely looking forward to this process. I don’t think i’ll dislike any of it! Especially in the final task, i want to make something i am proud of based on my own work. I want to see how far i can go and this will be an enjoyable experience for that!

The second half! Intro Blog

Hello! As i've said before My name is Gregory Bradley, and I am currently halfway through my AS level experience in AICE Media Studies. I decided to try out this class, as I was hearing from many people that it could be interesting. I also am a very avid watcher of movies. Horror movies are a great choice of mine, though nightmares do happen... I'm a junior in high school, 17 years old now since my birthday was in October... I usually am too invested in trying to get free time to worry about anything else. When I'm not playing a video game due to boredom, or editing some video, I'm usually invested in schoolwork. I have a huge family that has a lot of roots from many different parts of the world! I like all kinds of foods, and I'm not picky though, I enjoy trying out new things, and this is another thing I've decided to invest time into. I'm very lazy though, I'd rather lay around. If there's one thing I enjoy about work though, is the outcome. I find it amazing when something you've worked hard for finally comes to light. I feel like when it comes to work though, I'd rather rely on myself more than others, and try and make it to the best of my ability! Otherwise, I just focus on work until I don't have to, and have fun while I'm doing it! I do miss work that has a lot of meaning and is engaging and fun, And going through this class definitely allowed me to be the best version of myself through my film. I'm not a huge fan of classes filled with hardcore note-taking. I do prefer to work alone, though, and that's fine, but I really do try to hold my work to a high standard as well as myself. I'm mostly a quiet person, but I can definitely hold a conversation if needed. Overall, I'm really looking forward to the second half of Media Studies, and i'm really excited to start my final task and be able to put my skills to work!
