Some Things Never Change

Image
Although it has only been a day, some things never change. I finally got home after a long day of competing. From my last blog, I gave an update that I was competing at the national qualifier tournament. I ended up breaking to finals! It was a very thrilling moment as I worked very hard to be where I was. At the awards ceremony, I was sitting very anxiously as they announced the results, and ultimately the top three qualifiers for nationals. Although I did not make top 3, I did achieve fifth place. Achieving fifth means that I am instead the second alternate. So, if two people from the top three were to not make it to nationals, their spot would be replaced with me. Alternatively, if one person from the top three cannot make it, and the first alternate cannot either, then I could take over. I was slightly disappointed that I did not qualify, I am not going to lie. However, this was my first year competing in Original Oratory, so I am grateful for all of the success I have had leading u...

Title Research: Get Out

Image
 For the next title research blog, we researched the opening sequence of the movie "Get Out". In this movie, the first scene is a guy getting into a car and driving away. Then there's a clip of a bunch of trees going by like someone is in a car and driving on a long straight road with a bunch of trees next to it.

The sequence moves on to a clip of a guy in an apartment drying himself off which shows he just got out of the shower. Then the clip jumpcuts to a girl at a bakery looking at a bunch of treats. It jumpcuts between the guy and the girl and then the girl ends up at his apartment. The guy is looking at pictures on his camera which infers he took the pictures we saw earlier in the sequence.

Production...Or lack of

Welcome to our production journey! Unfortunately, not much was produced or filmed today. Not everyone from our group came to school, so there was not much we could do. Andres was not here during first period, which left me curious. He also did not show up to our second period AICE Media class, and that is when I found out he was actually out sick. Lauren, on the other hand, was out in Orlando on a debate trip. She had qualified for the Florida State debate competition, but they do not come back from Orlando until tomorrow. So, I was the only one from our group in second period. I am still getting to know Franchesca, but since she is in a different class period, I have not had much time to collaborate with her. As far as I know, she was in school that day. But, I don't have any classes with her so I did not get the chance to talk to her about filming. We did talk about planning in the group chat. We went over the script we drafted up, and things we could do to really get in characte...
