Intro Blog

    Hello, my name is Mya Hauser, I am in 10th grade and go to Fort Lauderdale High School. I decided to enroll myself in this course because I have always been interested in filming techniques, editing, and movies and shows. 
    At the age of twelve, I started to have an extreme interest in filming. I always enjoyed watching behind-the-scenes clips of how my favorite scenes were filmed, and the thought process that went into the work. From then, I had an increasing interest in drawing. At my middle school, I participated in the literary fair and wrote/drew my own comic book. However, I did not place high enough to move on to future rounds because I was just getting started with my drawing techniques. As the years have passed, I have become A great artist. I own a small business, where I digitally draw and sell stickers. I have so far made over $1600 in the past year, and have made 600 sales. From time to time when I read my reviews, I see so many comments uploading my artwork shown. 
    Last year, I also started to get intrigued by film production. Some of my favorite movie series are Marvel and Star Wars. I find it so interesting how these movies can create phenomenal representations of things that we have seen on TV and in real life. The CGI and green screens truly amaze me and I love seeing the process of creating these ideas to present to certain audiences. I am personally very creative, but seeing professionals gather together to present outstanding ideas that don't always make it to television is able to show me how strict this industry is. Even some of my favorite scenes in movies were deleted and never made in to cinemas. 
    Back to the present, All of these different experiences and chapters of my life have made me want to pursue a career in the film industry. I enjoy crafting new ideas that have not been thought of before and chatting with others to hear their ideas to increase my growth in different thought processes. I absolutely love the artistic value of films because no matter the type of film, there is always some sort of artistic quality applied to the project.

My Final Task

Image
After a full year of creative planning, filming, and editing, I have come to the end of my journey. I finally finished my film “Victim Nine” along with my group members! After many days of work and planning, I have finished my movie and cannot be happier of the outcome. Throughout this journey I have learned so much about the film making process and how challenging it is to create. After planning, filming, and editing my commercial, music video, and film, I have learned how to work with a group of people to create amazing pieces of media. I have always idolized actors and directors, and it was great to experience both worlds at once! I cannot be happier that I joined this class. This is not the beginning of my adventure, and I will continue to create and produce many films for fun and hopefully work. I hope to use this knowledge and work in media production later on in my life. I now present my final film, Victim Nine.

Production Blog: Editting Blog

 After filming was completed, it was finally time to edit. Connor, one of my group members, chose to edit the video since he had a lot of experience. My partner was enrolled in many coding and media classes throughout his middle school career.  He edited on his laptop, which he volunteered to bring to school, so my group members and I could help assist. I found time during my sixth period study hall time to help participate in the editing process. When it came to editing, I had a few issues right off the bat. It was very difficult to edit during the school day, since the internet connection was slow. This made it impossible to open and run the editing software. By this time, I had tried to restart the device and try a new device completely. It had then occurred to me to use my partner's phone hotspot to connect to the PC. This succeeded, and I was able to begin editing immediately. I messaged my partner the videos I had taken on my phone and then transferred the files to his comput

Production Blog: Music Blog Plan B?

Image
Filming is now completed for my film! My next step in this journey is to edit all of the different shots into one movie. However, I am forgetting about one of the most important parts of the film... the music! As soon as my group and I decided on a genre and plot for my film, I emailed a music production company named, Warner Chappel. The Warner Chappel company messaged me back a few weeks ago, asking for a price to own the rights to the song. This price was outrageous, as they were asking for $1000-$2000. This is when I had to come up with a Plan B. I collected my group to discuss the news and everyone was devastated, since everyone was hoping to use Born Too Late, by the Poni-tails for the entire film. Everyone had shared their ideas for a new plan. Some of these plans included, emailing a new music company  and messaging the Warner Chappel  company again to compromise for a new price. However, it was too late into the film to wait for another music production company's response.
