Intro Blog



    Hello, my name is Nicole Miller. I am 16 years old and a sophomore in high school. I have learned a lot since I started taking the class last semester. I am very excited to start my final task and be able to better myself in filming and gain other skills within the process. I currently spend time a lot of time with my mom and my dog, Hercules. When I am not with them, I am either at school or at dance. I dedicate a lot of my time to competitive dance because that is my passion. I spend about 6 days a week practicing for competitions and conventions that begin in February. However, I do not think I would pursue dance as a career past college because I would like to be an attorney in family law when I grow up. Many people ask me why I chose this and why family law, but I want to pursue this career because I have been a key witness throughout my parents' divorce and found an interest in other divorce cases I have learned about. I am currently in the PreLaw program at my school, working on being an attorney. I also want to have media as a side job in the future because today, media is a big deal and a key part of a person's life. I'd like to try to use media to create a platform where I can inspire others in some sort. Another thing I enjoy is modeling. I help part time with a designer who creates prom and homecoming dresses. I used to participate with another company, but they began making height restrictions for the models, but when they do need me, I am all in! I took part in being on their 9th magazine cover issue and appeared in many of their adults and kids' runway shows. I try my best to not allow my height to get in the way of being a part of this industry! I always keep a very positive mindset throughout life because I believe it will better myself. Ever since I started thinking this way, I felt the positive shift in my life. Many people say I have a very busy and crazy schedule, but I know that I am just trying to live my life to the fullest!

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 ...
