Group Blog

 Today was the final day to choose the group that you have to work on for our short film project. I had a lot of people to choose from since you could work with anyone from any period. I chose to work with my friend Xavi. He is not in the same period as me but like I said before we were allowed to work together. I am very happy to be able to work with him. We did very well last year together. Our 2 minute film looked great and our commercial and music video looked even better. I chose Xavi as my partner because we have a lot of chemistry together. We are very used to working in these kinds of projects since we have done 3 of the already. Xavi is more of a tech guy, while I like to be part of the videos. He knows how to film really well, and to edit as well. This works really well because me and him are both comfortable on what we are doing. It will definitely be a challenge to do this project as a duo since its a pretty long video. I believe that we are ready to take this challenge though, we are now way more experienced then when started working together last year. We had a lot of experiences where we made a lot of mistakes last year but also learned a lot from them. Me and Xavi have been discussing the idea of our movie ever since the beginning of summer when we first heard that we were going to take this class again. We have almost everything down and are ready to start filming. With the pandemic still around, I don't know how we are going to film and when we are but I hope it is very soon. We have heard some rumors that we should be getting back to school in a couple of weeks, and I really hope they are true. Going back to school is going to make everything easier for us to create a schedule for our filmmaking process.

Welcome Back!

 Hello everybody, I am very happy to announce that I am finally back from the summer break and will start to write my blogs again. Ever since this pandemic started, I wasn't able to write too much here. There was just so much going on that I kinda left my blog a little to the side. Our school continued even with the pandemic. We had to adapt with online learning, in the begging it was hard but as weeks went by it became very easy and enjoyable to do. I finished my school year with straight A's and was able to pass all 4 of my Cambridge classes including AS Media. Due to the pandemic our Cambridge exams were canceled bu they were still able to give us a grade based on our past school work. Before the pandemic I was lucky enough to be able to meet with my counselor and choose the classes I will be taking my senior year. I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Katz as my counselor that year. He was my previous AICE Media teacher, and really encouraged me to take the next step and take A Level Media my senior year, and that's what I decided to do. That is why I am writing for you guys today. We have started the new school year online since we are still in quarantine. I really don't hate online learning but I want to come back as soon as possible and enjoy my last year as a student at Fort Lauderdale High. I was really happy to know that my last year's partner for most of my projects, Xavi, is taking the same class as me. We have both started talking about of final project and hope that we can go back to school to start filming. I believe that we are slowly going back to normal. After 7 months quarantined my Soccer practices and games have started to happen again. That is the first step, now I am waiting on school. I am very happy to start this new year in this class with my amazing teachers. I have really big things for this year and I can't wait to share with all of you. But that's for another blog!
