Introducing Me!

  My name is Siena Pancera, I am fifteen years old. I was born in south Florida and have grown up here for my whole life. Most of my family is from Brazil and I'm lucky enough to see them a lot. I go to Fort Lauderdale High school and I am currently in the tenth grade. My favorite subject to study is probably science, I like the idea of making discoveries and experiments. I also love English because I enjoy the literature portion of it. I live with my parents and my older sister Tess just left for college. I have a cat, his name is Leo and he is almost a year old. I play full time on a club soccer team outside of school. However, when the school soccer season rolls around I also play there. Its a sport I really enjoy. I met a lot of friends that way, and gained some useful habits through playing. Besides soccer, I also have a hobby of making jewelry. Even if that sounds silly, it's a part of me and something I really enjoy doing. I also love to bake and read. Both of these are things I like to do when I feel stressed or upset, it's almost therapeutic. My favorite books are probably Fahrenheit 451 or the Hunger Games series. And my favorite thing to bake are probably cookies. All of these things make up little parts of myself. They're things that make me, me.

Genre Research: Us

Image
  The movie  Us  (2019)   is a thriller/horror movie. This means it has conventions common for both of those genres. However, I will be focusing on the thriller genre.  Camera Angles, Movement, and shots: There were lots of long shots in this movie. They were used to set the scene and to create tension by showing the character and the setting. There were also close ups to show the terrified looks on the actors faces. This created a thrill for the audience. Two shots were also common, usually between the protagonist and antagonist fighting.  Costumes: The "bad guys" wore distinct red suits to separate themselves from the other characters. The "good guys" wore normal day clothes such as jeans and t-shirts. Lighting: This movie had low lighting, which helped to create a scary mood. There was often flickering lights which created suspense, and sometimes there would be no light at all. Makeup: There was no extreme makeup in this movie. But like many thrille...

Intro Blog, nice to meet you!

 My name is Siena Pancera, I am still 15 years old. I live in Fort Lauderdale, and still take AICE Media studies. I am a different student since our first project. When I first joined this class, I was nervous. I was unsure of if I could succeed. I also knew little to nothing about the subject. Now, I've learned so many new things about what this class can offer. I understand the concepts I am taught, and enjoy them. I've also grown in how I work on different activities in this class. After completing our first two tasks, the commercial and music video, I've learned how to be the best group mate I can. Like understanding how to help others in my group to the best of my abilities. I also know more about my individual responsibilities. Such as filming or editing. Even acting. I understand that I am definitely more comfortable behind the camera. These projects have all been exciting to create, and I learn about myself in the process. I am so excited to start the final task. I ...

Which Ones There are 25 titles shown in this sequence.

The images carry almost no connotation, against a black screen they are bold and in stark font. They show mystery by not revealing much. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? Genre is reinforced through symbolic and technical codes in one main way, through mystery. It reveals little to nothing abou...
