 I spent my weekend doing something that may not sound like work. Well, it was work but it was enjoyable. I spent all weekend watching and studying films. Now this might seem like an excuse to not work on my film but it was quite the opposite. To better my own film I wanted to look at films that I held in high regards. I did this so that I could try to incorporate the elements of things I liked for this movie. I wanted my own movie to feel as real as possible. I really want to try and not have my project look like, well... a school project. For this reason I watched a lot of movies. I watched some things like Captain America and Iron Man which really helped with creating atmosphere. I want to use the kind of music that is used to hype up action scenes in these movies. If I could just channel one percent of the quality in these movies I'd have a masterpiece on my hands. Other than this however I didn't get too much work in on editing. I have some time to work on it of course. Even though I still have a lot of time to finish editing, I'd like to finish as soon as possible. Once the custom text I created is added to the footage I'll have something special. Now I admit I haven't been prioritizing this project as much since I have other things I'm working on. But I guarantee that I will have the Golden Calf edited and finished very soon. Until then! I hope you all are as excited as I am.

I definitely 100% watched this for studying :)

Music Video

   Here it is, the Yon Yonson music video. After quite a bit of recording and editing the video is finally here to watch. The video is basically a 20 second song looping with slight differences each time. The first time I play the ukulele in the first scene and lip sync the words of the song. After that I use a clip of a passerby asking for Yon Yonson's name.  The kind stranger who asks for Yon Yonson's name is none other than Barack Obama! Due to the lack of actors available for recording I could not do the street passerby scene. As a replacement for this I used video clips from other media and tried to lip sync them with the song lyrics. Unfortunately the lip syncing wasn't perfect due to time constraints, but It worked well enough. In the next scene I play the accordion in the same basic position as the first scene. If you couldn't tell from me playing the ukulele, you could definitely tell that I don't have musical talent from how I played the accordion. Althoug

Genre Research: Action

  This video is my PowerPoint presentation about action movies. The video above lists lots of things that are used in action films. I've always really liked watching action movies so this was my first choice of genre to write about. Most of my favorite movies are action movies so I like to think that I know a good deal about them. The first slide of this PowerPoint is about how lighting is used in action movies. Lighting is used to create atmosphere, for instance dark lighting is used to create gloomy more serious mood. Bright lighting on the other hand is used for more peaceful scenes. Bright lighting isn't commonly used in action movies since it doesn't fit with the violence taking place. The camera angles of action movies are usually dramatic in order to fit the action that's taking place in the movie. Mid shots are used quite often in order to show all the characters at once. This is done so that the viewer can see all the action that is taking place in the film. Wi

Hey what's up!? My name is Spencer Dalis, I am in Aice Media studies AS level at Fort Lauderdale High School. I'm definitely not the most interesting person on the planet, but ill try my best to explain my hobbies and interests here. I was born in Miami Dade and moved to Broward shortly after. I'm a pretty average student but I enjoy playing video games during my free time. I spend quite a bit of time on my Nintendo consoles playing games like Mario, Kirby, Pokemon, and The Legend Of Zelda. Another one of my hobbies is taking care of my two cats. Unfortunately I don't do much else outside of schoolwork during my day. I also have a small YouTube channel that I create content for where I play some of the games that I enjoy. I spend most of my time with my family and two cats doing normal day to day activities. My favorite food is steak and I really like the chicken soup that my father makes. That's basically the general happenings of my life so far but there's sti
