Fernando Mesa's AICE Media Studies Final Project

 CCR #4- How did you integrate technologies - hardware, software, and online - in this project?  My creative approach was a short video. Hey what are you doing right now? Oh hey I’m just editing this new opening scene for my film called The Arrest of D.L: James’s Justice. Oh that’s really cool! What’s the film, The Arrest of D.L: James’s Justice, about? Oh, my film is about this ordinary guy called James who wants revenge on D.L to get justice after D.L robbed his house and to stop D.L. From committing crimes. That’s a really cool idea! What exactly are you using in order to edit this opening scene to your film?  I’m using this editing software called I movie in order to edit all my clips properly. Oh ok, what exactly does I movie allow you to do?  iMovie allows me to cut out unnecessary parts of certain clips, add text to clips, increase or decrease audio within filmed content and it even lets me add more audio elements like score, here I’ll show you some score I us...

  CCR #3- How did your production skills develop throughout this project?    My creative approach was a presentation. Production skills are an important part of creating films. This is because having better production skills can make a film better and more entertaining. Without good production skills, a film may not look very realistic, and a film might not be as entertaining as it was originally intended to be.   Production skills can range from anything between having good camera shots, having costuming that fits with the character s role, adding proper score and sound effects, recreating sounds as re alistic as possible with foley, and having props that fit with the storyline.   My production skills have developed in beneficial ways while working on this project. Before filming my project, I originally didn't have much thought on the importance of score in films and before I filmed, I thought I wasn't going to use score. After filming my op ening scene, I...

  CCR #2- How do your product engage with the audiences and how would they be   distributed as a real media text?    My creative approach was an interview. Good evening, sir!   Good evening !   Would you like to preview an unreleased crime genre film?    I’d be happy too !   Ok sounds good!   So, what is the name of the film going to be?   The name of the film will be “The arrest of D.L: James’s Justice.   Oh ok   So here is the opening scene to the film.    Now that you have watched the opening scene, are there any questions you would like answered about the film?    Yes, I do, when producing this opening scene what reactions or emotions did you want the audience to exp erience ?    Ah that is a great question! As you saw within this opening sequence, I want my opening scene to have a very suspenseful effect within the audience. This suspenseful effect can be created from the audience n...

  CCR #1- How do your products use or challenge conventions and how do they represent social groups or issues.       My creative approach was a radio talk show.       Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! We are back with another episode starring Fernando Mesa, the producer of an upcoming film titled “The arrest of D.L: James’s justice ”. So, Fernando, would you like to greet our audience?   Hello everyone!
