Pitch Perfect

  Pitch 1: A teen girl struggles with atelophobia; the fear of imperfection. How badly has societal standard affects her view of herself? 

Pitch 2: student struggling with academic and parental pressure

Pitch 3: the only child has a perfect life and a perfect family until she uncovers a dark family secret...

I chose Pitch 1 as i feel I can properly depict each characters struggle with atelophobia. The concept of two perspectives allows opportunity for several filming techniques like split screening. This concept would allow my editing skills to advance.

 Hi there! I have learned immensely what it means to collaborate, communicate and congregate over the years. AICE AS Level Media Studies was a moment to remember. I learned from my peers, colleagues, and teachers and I am grateful for the knowledge I gained in the process. Last year I worked on my final task with a group of three other girls named Mia Obritis, Willow Rivera, and Lucia Rodriguez. Sadly that will not be the case this year. They were great partners and it was an exceptional learning period for us all. However, none of these girls mentioned this year are taking Media Studies A Level. As I am extending my study I will take this as an opportunity to see where my skills alone take me. This will be a moment of defining the skills that I have and how they can get stronger. Despite this being the case I have been offered to work in several groups. Nevertheless, in the end, I will be working by myself. This means will be filming, editing, producing, and even acting by myself. I get to put my creative vision into a film. I believe this process will be interesting as I have never worked on a film alone but I'm ready to fight my way past the obstacles, It will be a process to create ideas on my own but as time goes on I will be more adapted. Despite never working alone on a project I am independent, determined, and persistent. This will be great year for me! I am excited to start my A level journey.

Intro Blog

 

Hello there I am Kai Lobban! Although I'm fifteen years old and a junior in high school I have many goals and aspirations set for myself. Regardless of my young age, I have always worked too hard to achieve success. With that drive, AICE Media Studies has caught my attention. As a child, I have always found the process of production and filming fascinating. I spent time looking at the behind-the-scenes of many films and movies to see how the production undergoes. My favorite behind-the-scenes clips to watch were always Marvel Movies. Most of my free time went into being a YouTube. Where I spent hours learning how to film and edit like some of my favorite influencers and nitpicking at any flaw in my editing. Although I wasn't a big sensational hit I enjoyed watching the final product of my videos. I felt somewhat satisfied to see my handwork pay off. With this newly obtained knowledge recognizing the use of different editing in upcoming movies and tv shows will come with ease. During this course, I have already learned the use of sound in movies and how it could make a drastic change to the emotion of the plot. As my mastery develops, I plan on using the information I learn and applying them to assignments a group projects that I will do in class. Throughout the year it is a goal of mine to further my knowledge and know more than I do now. Carrying the knowledge I gain from this class to adulthood and beyond. Overall, Media Studies is a class that piques my interest. As the school year continues I can't wait to compare my growth from years prior. Younger me would be pleased to see me continuing the hobbies I once had and developing to be triumphant. I have faith in my skills and I can't wait to make my teachers, peers, and as well as myself proud! I am excited to experience the A Level dream!
