·       The song we chose through research was the pursuit of happiness by Kid Cudi.    Our research:   ·       One thing we notice about his music videos is he uses a lot of high-angle shots to show him dancing.  ·       As well as tracking shot to follow him around as he sings.  ·       Another thing commonly used by him is the use of animated colors or added color. ·       There were bright color changes when happy lyrics or bright chords were struck, and darker colors when a more monocratic message or feeling is conveyed by the music.  ·       The themes of his music videos are often based around nostalgia and have a nostalgic feel.  ·       These were all achieved with the video editing to make the film have a "vintage" feel.  ·       The genre of the chosen song is hip hop.  ·       Watching the music videos there were very reoccurring themes in them in the portrayal of love. ·        Love is a very common niche used, whether it's presented by partners or metaphors.

  I would like to do my media studies music video in a group. Throughout my school years, I have (and still am) unsure whether to work in a group. I often find it is easier to work by yourself because you have full control over all the components of the project. You do not have to rely on other people, and you will not be dragged down if they forget their work. I do not believe there ever has, or ever will be a clear winner in this argument because there are benefits to each side. Once again, I put my trust in the abilities of my group mates. I would like to partner with Trevor, Ayden, and Sydni because I believe it will make creating a commercial easier. Ayden is someone who can point me in the right direction. We have worked on many projects together since fourth grade. He has, and presumably will keep track of what elements need to be included and help with the design process. Considering that I have a little bit of artistic talent, I will likely be doing the representation of our m

  Hi, my name is Denton and I am in 10th grade. I am currently 15 years old and I enjoy basketball, sailing, and traveling. I am a fan of the Los Angeles Clippers, but my favorite team is the Miami Heat. My favorite places that I’ve traveled to are Canada, Mexico, California, and Maine. My favorite subjects are art and history. I enjoy almost any activity that has to do with the ocean. Sailing, swimming, surfing, and diving are my favorites. Ironically, the ocean is the scariest thing I can think of. All the unexplored and unknown as well as what we do know about the ocean makes it the most other-worldly place I have ever been. But enough of my frightened view of the world around us, why did I pick AICE Media Studies? First and foremost, I chose this class to get my AICE diploma. Both of my parents went to the University of Florida so as you could imagine, growing up in a Gator household has me set on one specific school. Even though it is extremely unlikely that I get in because of my
