Intro Blog

 Hi, I'm Jayla Darden a.k.a your average teenage girl. And as boring as it sounds I have no special talents, no hobbies, no sports, no pets; I'm just here. One would say, I'm good at drawing but I'm definitely mediocre at best. So then they shift it saying I'm a great writer but my horrible grammar hides that fact. Deeming me creative might be an option but as I grow older I feel as if  I'm starting to lose that sense of creativity. I swear I'm not a pessimist, I just like to be realistic. The only thing I have good going for me right now is my school career. Being a junior in high school exhibits my school career almost at a close and the next step is college. My goal is to make it into a good college so my parents could be proud of me. And they will be because I believe in myself; see I told you I'm not a pessimist. 

I take this class so I could get experience with college classes before I get there. (Also for the credit of course.) So far I like it, it's taught me more things about technology that I didn't know before. Unfourtanelty when it comes to it, I'm like an old woman with technology. Sadly, my own mother has helped me with trying to work my own laptop at times. Can you believe I don't even know how to type? This single sentence alone took me 30 seconds in total... maybe even more! However don't feel too sorry for me, it used to be worse. Besides my horrible experience with knowledge of technology, I love films and television series. Learning about behind the scene factors like camera angles and the sounds used in these forms of entertainment is interesting to me. I would love to learn more. 

Moreover, I would like to recommend this entertainment company which partners with various other companies to produce some of the most amazing films and one of the best t.v shows from 2019. The show is called Euphoria and the cinematography is amazing. 


The entertainment company is called A24 and I watch one of their movies a day (this may or may not be an exaggeration). So now that I think of it, maybe I do have a hobby; binge-watching A24 films. Sounds like the best hobby ever to me.

Production Blog: Back to Filiming

Image
 Over the 3 day weekend, I used all the time I had to my advantage. I'm really proud of myself and what I got accomplished. Filiming was surprisingly easier than anticipated. Although it took longer than I expected; everything was organized and planned to perfection. I had the best lighting, no interruptions, and my cousin seemed to know what she was doing. So we also had an amazing time together filming. I honestly believe it made us closer, which is a plus. Watching the scenes we recorded together gave us the opportunity to reshoot and modify things that needed to be changed. For example, how the pillow was positioned or my facial expression. She contributed to a lot and I really think without her help this wouldn't be possible.  Moreover, like mentioned beforehand, the scene that we recorded took a long time to shoot. We spent 2 whole days on it and lucky for me she decided to spend the night. So time was not a factor while we were filming because we had all the time in the

CeraVe Commercial

(I've uploaded the video using two different methods just in case one method doesn't work.) My journey of making my first official AICE Media project has finally come to a close. From here on, I know what to expect; and this is definitely a class I have to work my hardest on. Doing this project was just a taste of what I have to do next and I'm prepared for it. With this project, I guarantee I tried my absolute best. Additionally, I want to acknowledge that I will improve my skills as well. I understand I could have made the commercial have a cooler storyline or made it slightly more entertaining. However, I wanted to follow the conventions of a skincare ad and usually, those types of things don't happen. I know for next time I should do my project however I want, creativity is key. I want to entertain my audience so they enjoy watching. I'll continue to improve by finding new techniques on how to accomplish this. (Perhaps more research could help). Also, I did a de
