About Me

 Hello wonderful people, this is my first blog entry!!!! I'm so excited to take you along with me on this journey. Let me introduce myself!

My name is Madaline Vasquez, I am a senior this year and I am currently 17. Some things to know about me is my favorite color(s) is black and red. I love to paint it relaxes me and allows me to express myself. I have two cats the oldest one is Cookie, and the youngest one is pokey, but I only live with the younger one. My favorite food is noodles or chili I don't know why it's just good. The reason I am taking this class is to get the Cambridge credit, but it does seem interesting for me what I hope to get out of it is to decrypt the meaning behind films better than I do now, to correctly spot or point out why movies plan what they do.

Editing and Transitions

You are able to see them waving and there is also a camera man which could also let...

Challenges in Film

 WAZAAAAA blog!!! Today we are discussing the challenges we have in filming, and there's A LOT.  So, the weekend of the 8th of February our group was supposed to film but 3/4 of my group members were ready to film but unfortunately the fourth member, which is the videographer. So, to deal with this inconvenience we have rescheduled our filming date to a day when we are all available, which is Valentine's Day. We are going to wolf lake park , which we have also had trouble planning exactly where we are filming which was either wolf lake park or tree tops park which is more foresty and filming the first part of our movie intro. The main obstacle we have is trying to work around the group members work schedule which from what you've heard is really challenging . Other than that, every group member has been pulling their own weight . We have all of our props and costumes which is rope, tape, and our regular high school clothes.
