Introduction to Media Studies

        Hey! Welcome, my name is Sandy Andrade and sadly I do not have a nickname but sandy is still good! I am currently in eleventh grade at Fort Lauderdale high school and I am sixteen years old. I am a pretty bubbly person and I like to joke around a lot even though many say that at first glance I seem cold. I like to be an openminded person, and spread the word of right and wrong. Recently with all of the issues around the world, I have educated myself and shared it, hoping to bring positive and inspiring things to others. 

I live with my mother and father who came from Guatemala in 1985 to New York and later they moved to Florida, where I was born. I also have one older sister (middle child) and older brother (the first child) whose names are Alison and Christian. And I also have a handsome dog named Leo. 



My friends and family tend to say that I am very wise at times and they ask me for advice which is crazy since I have not experienced enough in my life to give advice. Growing up I saw a lot of people around me in sad and difficult situations, it seemed as if no matter what age you were, there would always be hardships. And as a child I did not understand, but around 15 years old, I realized life is not always fair and there's no age limit to someone's unfair suffering. This realization was my inspiration to deciding my career path, psychologist. Talking about your hardships or even just how to feel can be very helpful to oneself. Many my age suffer with depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, phobias of all kinds, eating disorders, personality disorders and so many more. I felt inspired of this and decided that my destiny is to help those of my age, and to pull away the stigma that not being okay is wrong.

Final task: Filming and editing process

As of recently, my partner and I have to decided to start our filming process on March 8, 2021. Unfortunately we could not begin filming before due to serveral reasons. Our actress playing Irene, is out of town and will be arriving March 6, 2021, which is the major reason of why we decided to begin on March 8. The actor playing Johnny also could not film earlier because he had plans involving school homework, studying for several tests and work. My partner and I looked out for our actors and decided to begin filming on a day everybody would be available.  We finished all of our planning and research and now we will prepare for filming. As of now, we have not changed or added new locations for our opening sequence. We have set all of our plans for our settings and when we will go to our assigned locations.

Genre Research: The Giver

What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? Another movie we will use to base our final task on is The Giver.  The Giver is a science fiction movie which is based on a novel. The setting of  The Giver was in an isolated piece of land broken off and disconnected from the rest of the world. This set up the plot of the story of the film.  In the movie they use a lot of different filming techniques to express the different emotions throughout the film.  Since the movie is about "The receiver of memories" they use zooms, close-ups, establishing shots, track, mid-shots, low and high angles and many more to show the emotions of the characters in the story. Since in the story the giver is giving the receiver all of his memories and teaching him the emotions one by one these different CAMS portray the different emotions.  The giver shows a lot of technology with the use of holograms, fake trees, the houses ar...
