Intro Blog



My name is Nicole Miller and I am 15 years old.  I am a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale High School in Florida.  I am currently in the Pre-Law and Cambridge programs at my school. I plan to be a family attorney and I feel that I can assist families that go through unfortunate divorces.  This decision came soon after I experienced my own parents' divorce.  I would also like to develope a business or to have a side job involving media, where I can combine my work experience with my talents, as well as presenting my contribution to the community.  I am currently participating in various clubs at school.  I am part of the Environmental Club, Best Buddies, and just recently auditioned for the school dance team.  I am a competitive dancer at the Dancers' Training Spot, where I have been dancing for the past 2 years.  I started dancing since I was 3 years old.  Dance is my way to express my feelings and find myself during both good and not so good times. It also allows me to bring up some of my family's culture into different performances.  I can say with pride that dance is my passion.  I do not see myself doing it past college solely because it is very difficult to keep it as a stable job or profession.  In recent years, I have parcitipated in modeling for non-for-profits and fundraising events.  My involvement with modeling and the Fort Lauderdale Fashion Magazine has given me the opportunity to appear in their 2020 Fall edition.  I was given the opportunity to provide my opinion regarding how Covid-19 has impacted the lives of teenagers. I chose to take AICE Media Studies because I want to incorporate my love for dance and other hobbies into videos.  I believe this class is different and gives me the opportunity to think out of the box and be creative.  I am so excited to see what is yet to come!

Some of the fonts we were planning on using in our film include Alta California , IM FELL Double Pica SC, and Juniper Std. For Alta California, we would use it when we show our names. For example, when we write “Edited by: Hannah and Mila” it would be used on “Hannah and Mila.” It is a sticker-like decorative font that has a rugged look to it. It relates to the film we are creating because it is a story about a girl who has a rugged life and mentality. Also, the font has a youthful feeling attached to it which correlates to how the film is made about teenagers. It also has a scary and mysterious feeling to it, which matches the overall tone of the film. It relates to our thriller genre and emphasizes the mood that we are trying to implement.  For IM FELL Double Pica SC, we would use it for the title descriptions. For example, when we write “Edited by: Hannah and Mila” it would be used on “Edited by.” It is a serif small caps font with a rugged, traditional, and sophisticated appeal...

Music Changes

Today, we spent time picking new music. We messaged Khalid a while ago and he still hasn't seen ut. Since Khalid hasn’t answered our messages, so we didn’t to have any other artist options. My group and I didn’t think Frank Ocean would respond back or even on time. Because of that, we didn't attempt to message him. We started looking for some royalty free music. However, none of the options were good enough for our film in our opinion. We kept finding other ways that we can use so that the music would be good. Since we think music is one of the most important parts of the film. We found some potential ideas. We thought of the idea of remixing a song, so that it wouldn’t be copyrighted. We started editing the song we originally had which was "Coaster." We editing the speed and the sounds in the background to see if we can still use it. My group and I really wanted to use this song, so we are trying our best to make it work. After a lot of time, we made it possible for ...
