My Pitch

 A young girl is followed through the night as strang and unexplated things happen, is it just her imagination or sothing else.

Me, Myself, and I

     I have decided ill be flying solo this year. With all my many ideas for what I want to film this year, I think the best way to illustrate my personality is to work alone. Well, at least on paper anyway. I plan on getting help here and there with filming because I can't be behind the camera and on camera. Or...maybe I could, like a first-person film, or a handheld scenario like the Blair Witch series. Its a thought but I'm not sure if that bodes well with the criteria for the class. Whatever the class, I plan on enlisting my sister again to help me out and my friend who previously took the class in AS a few years ago.  Even though we're in quarantine, or maybe because of the special circumstances, I feel like working alone could be the most solid choice. It safe and ensures that every facet is within my hands. It unfortunate though because it also means all the responsibilities rest on my shoulders and my shoulders alone as well. It's going to be hard again this year finding compatible softwar. And even harder because rather than four heads working on a solution its only going to be me. It should be fine since we have a jump start in figuring everything out compared to last year, but I'm not looking forward to the hiccups. It was relatively okay last year, since I got to lean on my teammates with shared responsibility, and mutually assured destruction if we didn't work. But not it's all on me. Kinda terrifying. And I still need a camera. I could use my phone again, but Id rather not. I used it film and edit last year and feel like it could have made better qualities work. This year I'm going to try and find a way to edit on my laptop for a wider range.

Returning to AICE Media

    What summer is has been. Not much has changed since my last blog but it's fair to say there have been improvements. Quarantine is still as much of an issue as it's always been and students are still out of school. Though the school is closed the learning hasn't stopped. To the dismay of many, online learning is in full swing. It has its up and down, but for the most part, it works. We can't meet in person,  so instead, through Microsoft and other software, we simply meet virtually. It's a testament honestly to how far technology has come. Connecting us all from so many places. How well it will work in favor filming is yet to be determined but I'm excited to figure that out. 

     Just the overview of what this year has in store fills me with glee. I have so many ideas for what I want to film this year and how I get to show my personality through the lens of a camera. Whether I want to tell an uplifting and humbling story or a gritty and deranged one. I really want whatever I land on this year to have real meaning, like how I did last year, tackling homosexuality and domestic dysfunction. In this day and age, being so close to election day for my area, it is also very realistic that I can do something to reflect the current political tension. In all, I'm glad to be back behind the camera and I'm ready to get the ball rolling. My main concerns lie in who exactly ill be working with. I'm going to have to use everything possible so I hope I pair up with some skilled students. If not, I might have to go this year solo. Now that's something to look out for; complete and utter artist license. Sounds nice.
