A Level Pitch Blog

    A teenage boy with a strong connection and love for his dog faces challenges when his dog runs away.

This is my pitch for the five minute short film. As this being my second run through the making a pitch process. I remember the important steps to follow having a problem that needs a solution. Not making something overly complicated. While also doing something with a lot of filming and editorial freedom. I feel this pitch does all that while being suited for my situation. Saying as I will mostly be alone with Jaden to film. Also, I do have a dog who is indeed very important to me. Which means I have all the materials needed and since it is my dog no wasted time. This idea fits my situation perfectly having no extra resources needed other than what I have. Then, being able to perform with the little free time I have. My last years pitch was based on a boy who lost his father but it wasn't conclusive. So this year I get a fresher idea with the same principles. However I at least get to finish it all the way through. Weather it has a good conclusion or not.

    So it’s a new year with the same idea as the last to make a movie essentially. How else can you film without a crew? That was a dilemma I faced the whole year last year because I choose to work alone. I did it last year because I didn’t have the time to be meeting with classmates. Also I didn’t know any students in these classes that I could genuinely trust to put their part in. So I decided to go alone, and really throughout last year that was my only real issue. To be the cameraman, editor and actor. Lucky I had help from a friend mention earlier in blogs of last level (Jaden). When I reviewed my process last year in the CCR I realized how much of a disadvantage it was. Not having people to distribute the workload or to help in filming is difficult. Mainly saying that it’s all on you. When you don’t have others it’s hard to think of idea or solutions that could come from their point of view. However, even after saying all that... I will be doing this project on my own again this year. Even with the disadvantages I pulled through last year. I did fairly well and it reflected in my grade positively. I also still have the problem of no time or trusted peers. I still have my job and athletics that take away meet time. So the only way I would be able to do this task or to contribute I would have to do it on my own. So this year will be a lot of the same as last year, just with a different task. Most importantly I will have one person of help and that will be Jaden again when I am in the film process

I Am Back Blog

   Hi again, I am Jeovany Colome and I'm back for the next level of AICE Media Studies. I am excited to be taking A level this year. I really enjoyed the former class last year. The class was always entertaining and I felt that I had great freedom to do as I pleased with my work. So I hope this level is very similar to that. I also like learning all the aspects that goes into a film and A level is just more in depth, so I feel I'll enjoy this just as much. Obviously, the best part was the 2 min movie. The final project was probably the most fun thing I did in AS level and I was very proud of its results. So seeing that in this A level it'll be longer and more conclusive I couldn't be more excited. It'll be a better result then last year and I'm looking forward to making it happen. I chose to take A level this year based on some advice and other factors. The thing is last year I passed AS level with a good grade. In doing so I also completed my AICE Diploma. Due to this I wasn't sure if it was worth it to continue taking AICE classes. Specifically a class that I know would take a lot of my time up. However, I discussed it with teachers and peers and they convinced me that it would be worth staying. It is worth it because of the gpa boost taking AICE classes and unlike other AICE classes I already knew the material and it was something I knew I could complete. Also, like I said earlier I generally just enjoyed the class and figured I would enjoy this level just the same. So I chose and I stayed in this class and I am looking forward to this year. There are some global disadvantages in which we will overcome hopefully soon and get back to normal. I am happy to be here can wait to see what I produce.
