Welcome Back!!

It as been awhile, but here we go again. Hi, my name is Sarah Kraja and I'm ecstatic to soon begin this final task. I have some experience with technology since I am always using it, and I used to edit a lot of videos for fun when I was younger. I feel like that will be very helpful for me in this class because there is a lot of recording involved throughout the year. I always liked editing and filming videos when I was with friends so I have some of the basics down already. I am already in the process of brainstorming ideas for our groups task because of how thrilling making it seems. Now I'll get into some particulars about what I generally do throughout most days in and out of school. When I'm outside of school, I would usually have either volleyball practice, a game, or work. This is one of the sports that I have truly found myself to have a passion for after many years. I am on my schools Junior Varsity team and have made a lot of progress ever since I made the team. At practice and games, I have been working towards improvement as much as I can since I'm there almost everyday of the week. If I am not at volleyball, I am either at work or at home catching up on school work and studying for my SAT. It gets overwhelming sometimes with balancing a sport, a job and school at the same time, however it is manageable. It is crucial for me to keep my grades up if I want to be able to do things outside of school. I make time to see my friends and cousins mostly over the weekends and every once in awhile after school. Occasionally, I help my parents with work to gain more experience for myself. I enjoy helping them because I get to spend the extra time I have with my parents. In the future, I look forward to getting into the business field when I am an adult. I want to start up my own business, but I am not sure what type exactly yet. I mostly just know that I want to be self-employed and make something big out of what I begin. The real world is scary, but exciting since I am the one creating a great path for myself everyday.

Editing is now going smoother than before

 Every choice we make during the 5-minute film's editing process is informed by the ideas of mise en scène and C.L.A.M.P.S. media terminologies. By placing performers, setting the tone, and arranging accessories, mise en scène enables us to craft a scene so that each frame successfully delivers our tale. Camera angles, lighting, audio, mise en scène, performance, and special effects are just a few of the C.L.A.M.P.S. media terms that enhance our editing process and give our images more nuance and significance. Our film is evolving with every cut, every component well thought out to provide a seamless and captivating story. Our audience's emotions are elicited and the proper mood is established with the aid of lighting, costuming, and set design. Furthermore, movement and camera angles improve the narrative by placing viewers at the center of the action.Excitement is in the air as the editing process approaches its conclusion. Our efforts are clearly paying off since the movie c...

Allow Me To Introduce Myself

Hi, my name is Sarah Kraja and I'm ecstatic to soon begin this music video. I have some experience with technology since I am always using it, and I used to edit a lot of videos for fun when I was younger. I feel like that will be very helpful for me in this class because there is a lot of recording involved throughout the rest of the year. I always liked editing and filming videos when I was with friends so I have some of the basics down already. I am already in the process of brainstorming ideas for our groups music video because of how thrilling it seems. Now I'll get into some particulars about what I generally do throughout most days in and out of school. When I'm outside of school, I go straight home either on my bus, or my parents pick me up. When I get home, I tidy up some of the main areas around my house or room and then just relax for awhile. I used to fill my days with school volleyball everyday after school, however the season is over for this year. However, I ...

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Short Film: What are some of my impressions? The short film "9" is our first true exposure to Acker's creative universe. The short and to the point style of the narrative pushes a focused scope of its plot, character development, special effects, and how he goes about directing. The plot unfolds with a sense of urgency, teleporting the audience in a post-apocalyptic world extremely different from the one we live in where mechanical beasts known as "Fabrication Machines" stay. Even through a small window of time, Acker easily pushes depth into the characters, creating an emotional connection with the audience. Even as the special effects are not Marvel Universe tier, they showcase Acker's readiness to invent a visually striking environment. The directorial style is illustrated through its to the point storytelling and a touching use of symbolism, setting the stage for the full-length feature.  Full-Length Film: What are my impressions? Backpacking off the pav...
