A Level Return


 Hi my name is Renato Corrales. This means I managed to make it to A LEVEL, and I am stoked about continuing from where I left off last year. Last year, I gained an appreciation of just how much work is involved in film-making beyond just filming. I discovered the importance, not only of the final shot, but also such processes as planning, collaboration, and editing. I would like to challenge myself creatively and technically this year and Im particularly interested in mastering my ability to narrate pictures. I can feel more confident going into this class because I know the expectations. On the other hand, I recognize there is still much I have yet to learn. So what I want to do in the coming year is make my work feel more intentional and refined. I look forward to trying out some different camera shots and editing methods. I also want to improve my ability to meet deadlines and I understand the importance of meeting deadlines in any. Making movies is one of my favorite pastimes because it allows me to communicate my thoughts in a creative way. I appreciate how it integrates images, sound, and storytelling into one project. And I would like to see improvement in my projects this year compared to those in last year’s portfolio. I am inspired to be consistent with my Blog Posts. I would like this portfolio to represent my progress over the course of a year. And I am looking forward to being back and working. It definitely feels like a new beginning this year, since I have more experience than I had last year. Just introducing myself again some thing about me is I do swimming as a sport. I like to do other sports as well and be active. I like to go to beach and play video games. I currently am applying to many colleges right now so I don’t know where I’m going yet. But yea, that’s it, see you in the next blog!

Music Choice

 Hello, it's Renato Corrales back with another blog. Today I will be talking about the selection process for the music for our movie. When it came to choosing the music, there were a few rules. Knowing the movie has to be a length of 1:55 max, we knew the song could not be long. Due to the song also not taking up the whole song, we need a short part of the song. This part would need to be a snippet that fits well with our movie's theme. Talking about the theme, we also wanted a song that was hype, something that a boxer would listen to. We searched for different songs and not to our surprise had lots of choices. There were choices like Kanye West's "Black Skinhead", Drake's "Back to Back", and Eminem's "Lose Yourself". At first, we were excited to see all the music options we had but we then recalled another rule there was to the music. The music for our movie could not be copyrighted, however, if wanting to still use it we would have t...

Production Blog: Coordination

Hello, my name is Renato Corrales and I'm back with another blog. Today I'll be talking about our planning and finalization for setting up. When discussing our options of when the members can do our first meet-up, there were a few obstacles. First, we needed to find a time when we could all meet up to discuss it. Luckily, one of our classes landed together for all of us, allowing us to talk and arrange. During this class, we were able to see everyone's schedules. When looking at dates possible for us, we thought it would be best to look at our weekends for the first production. When it came to Conner, he was able to the weekend of 21 and 22, and the 28th. Finn could do the 29 and 28 and Isahiah was a maybe on the 21 and 22 but it was quite close and could not be weekdays for sure. I couldn't the 28 so we all had different days occupied. We all came to the realization that we could all do the following Tuesday and when rearranging, we all could do the Sunday 22nd. We dec...
