Intro Blog: Back Again

Hola everyone, I'm David Vidal and I am back for A-level media studies, and I am excited. However, I am not your average bookworm. I enjoy doing sports in school, during after school hours. I love the feeling of sweat dripping from my brow as I push myself to the limit each day. The camaraderie, the feeling of victory, a sense of accomplishment is addictive and something you can't experience in a library. When I'm not pushing the limits in sports or in school, my passion for teamwork and hard work doesn't stop, if anything branches out into other areas of my life. As I am involved with clubs at school that are involved with different fun tasks such as cleaning up the schools or the local neighborhoods and communities. Even outside the confines of school, I strive to be an active member of the community. Serving it every chance I get, whether it be serving food at the homeless shelter or doing fun kids events at my local church. Regarding this course though I have already been equipped with doing certain tasks in class, I do not feel nervous or anxious. If anything, I'm excited particularly for the new obstacles and challenges I face throughout this curriculum. My optimism and willingness are qualities that will serve me well through this journey. One thing I'm especially looking forward to is the feeling of holding a camera again. Getting the different shots and filming the different angles brings me to a point of ecstatic happiness. It makes me feel like static energy is electrically flowing through my veins. The possibilities are endless. So are the opportunities for creativity which I cannot wait to explore to the fullest depths. A little about me, I am Brazilian-American. Meaning that I was born in the United States to Brazilian parents. I am proud of my Brazilian heritage, and I strive to succeed in every metric of human endeavor. Whether it may be in school or in the community, I always put in that 110% of effort.

Production Blog: First Bits of Progress

Image
 Originally, the plan was to start filming after spring break. However, I found out through Corey that he will be leaving for his Europe trip on Saturday. There is no school on Friday, meaning we could get some filming done that day. There is a scene where just Corey is filmed driving the car to go pick up Chelsey and Cailey. This is the scene I intend on filming Corey this Friday. The plan is, I will slide to his neighborhood early in the morning, while my dad is doing a quick construction job. During that period of time, I will film Corey leaving his house driving his mother's SUV. For about a minute I will film Corey just driving. Then I will film another scene of him driving and listening to some music. Corey is just going to drive around his neighborhood, if necessary, once or twice, onto a commercial street. Cailey and Chelsey will not be available to film that day, so their parts will be filmed after spring break. The scene of Corey driving will be filmed from a variety of a

Production Blog: Filming Progress

      As stated in the previous blog, I was able to get some filming progress done with Corey on Friday, the first day of our spring break. Due to Cailey and Chelsey not being present, I only filmed his part. Which consisted of him driving his car, on the way to pick up Cailey and Chelsey. It was done relatively early in the morning, which is shown as the sun appears to be rising in most of the footage. Even though I am content that a little bit of progress was done. It is my goal to start filming this week, as I am heavily opposed to procrastination. Much discussion was done today with Corey, Chelsey, and Cailey. It seems that all 3 of them, as well as myself, will be available on Saturday to film. A specific time has not been established, but it seems that the filming will be done in the early morning to early afternoon. Right before lunch time, most of the filming for that day should be done. Because I am not trying to be accountable for feeding 3 souls, as that will significantly,

Production Blog: Not Able to Film

Image
     After the first filming session where I filmed Corey, I decided that I would need another day or two to film Corey again. This time however, Chelsey would be a part of the filming process. As she was not able to be present the last time I filmed. I discussed with Corey and Chelsey what days work for them, a few days ago. Chelsey stated that she would be available and Wednesday and Thursday. Corey stated that from Monday through Thursday he would be available. We had previously planned to film again today, Wednesday, December 14th. However, I just finished telling them that Wednesday would not work for me. Due to the fact that I have after-school tutoring for chemistry. I have a chemistry test tomorrow, that I am partially prepared for, and I'm trying to be completely prepared. On a brighter note, I am already planning to film again tomorrow, after school, along with Chelsey and Corey. I will start filming again tomorrow, at around 4:00-4:30 p.m., and I will stop filming at aro
