Introductory

 Hello, my name is David Leconte Jr and I am an 11th grader who attends Ft. Lauderdale Highschool. My birthday is on the 29th of September which means that I'm a Libra. One of the reasons why I chose to take media studies is because I'm a very imaginary person and whenever I play a video game or watch a music video, I just wonder what happens behind the scenes to make these things come to life. As you can see from the previous sentence, you can tell that I love playing video games as a hobby. Also, I love fashion and sports because I'm a student-athlete. I've been playing sports and have been around sports my whole life which brings forth my love of playing it to be more enthusiastic than the average person. I was born in Miami, Florida at Jackson Memorial Hospital in the year 2004. I grew up in Miami for 14 years of my life and then made the transition to Ft. Lauderdale when I was 15. Making that move for me was tough because I didn't know what to expect, meeting new people, no friends, and a new neighborhood. It was a lot to take in and adapt to but, I made it work until I got to a point where I was more comfortable being me and having fun here. I'm the last sibling of 4 children which are 3 boys and 1 girl including me. For this school year, I want to pass every course I'm taking including the big SAT test and AICE tests, make more relationships with people, and have a 4.0 GPA. Last year was a tough one for everybody with the covid outbreak. Millions of people died and it didn't look like it was going to get any better especially with the slow pace with the vaccines. Online school in quarantine had its perks but, it really was hell. Being stuck in a room all day doing work was tiring and mentally draining with the amount of work that was given and school teams meetings every day. Somehow we found a way to get through it and be at a place right now where covid really isn't as much of a pain in the butt as it was before with the arrival of vaccines. Nobody believed we would reach this point but, it took trust and faith to achieve these goals and be in school as of right now. I'm ready to begin this journey with you guys and everyone I know and i hope we can continue to improve and protect one another to have a great school year. Thank you for reading my introductory blog and I wish you a very happy and blessed day.

“The Kill” Review changes

 When I think back on the film we made, I'm pleased with it. Making it was the most enjoyable experience I've ever had. It was a lot of fun gathering supplies and equipment for it. For the gruesome scene when the murder occurred, I had to go to Walmart and buy a knife and ketchup. People at the store thought I was insane because a knife and a bottle of ketchup are an unusual combination of items to purchase. I had to explain to those people that it was for a movie, and once they realized the overall picture, they were no longer interested. In the spring, my partner Quincy Esta had a lot going on in his life from Track and Field season to Aice coursework, which took a mental toll on him and continues to do so. We simply needed to pick a date and time that worked for both of us so that we could get this film arranged and completed within the time frame allotted. We had to postpone filming dates due to weather and rehearsals at first, but the good news is that we made it work. We ...

Thee Music Video

Image
  As of December 12 Sunday, the music video is finally completed. Me and my partner has finalized all the videos  recorded and transform all of them into one big video. The song chosen was a Hip Hop song made by Bow Wow called “Basketball”. This video includes clips of dribbling, dancing and shooting which is the main components of basketball as well as an music video. The editing app chosen to edit this video was iMovie. iMovie is a great app that allows users to create almost whatever they want to form the video they dreamed of and worked for. It took me 30 min to edit everything and put everything i wanted on there and the right time slots. The clips I inserted all correlate to what I put on the storyboard which was made November 18th in class. It was hard to put the song on the video thru iMovie because of the copyright issue. When I seen this happen, I called my sister who is familiar with the system so she could help me put the song on there. We had to download another a...

Editing film process

Image
After the conclusion of me filming the project, it was finally time to edit it. I opened up my ipad scrolled down my gallery to like all of the takes that we too from the park so that i can put it all together. After I chose between all of the videos, I asked my partner which platform was the best to put the scenes together and make a video. In about 20 minutes he responded and suggested that iMovie would be the better option because of all the things they have on their app to utilize. Another reason was because we used the app to do our other project and it came out perfectly so its only right to use it again. Once we confirmed to use iMovie, I opened the app and a couple of options popped up about what i wanted to make. The options were to make a movie or trailer and i chose to create a trailer first. The reason why was because we wanted the opening to the film to be like a roundup to stir the minds of the individuals watching it so that they can become curious and eager to see the r...
